Georgia kicker Rodrigo Blankenship is probably the most well-known special teams player in college football.
But tonight vs Auburn, it was a different Georgia special teamer who stole the show in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.
Georgia punter Jake Camarda’s number was called on over 10 times against Auburn. And each time, he answered the call.
Following a performance where Camarda punted the ball 11 times, racked up 558 total yards of punts, averaged 50.7 yards per, downed four inside the 20 and hit a long of 67 down to the two yard line, Blankenship showed his teammate some love on Twitter.
Camarda really was a huge factor in Georgia winning that ball game. He was absolutely bombing them all night long, completely flipping field position and putting Auburn in tough situations.
After the game, Kirby Smart commented on his punter’s performance.
“Jake Camarda was hitting bombs. I hope he never has to punt 11 times in a game again.”
