Kentucky’s punter Max Duffy has been named the Ray Guy Award’s Punter of the Week. In addition to the committee-selected honor, Duffy also brought home the fan vote of the week.
The Wildcats’ outing against South Carolina was disappointing at best, but Duffy’s play stands out as one of the night’s only bright spots. He punted nine times against USC for a total of 460 yards. The junior broke his own single-game school record (with a minimum of eight punts) by averaging 51.1 yards on nine kicks. In the process, he also became UK’s career punting leader with a 46.
