Scott's done pretty well getting touchbacks on KOs hasn't he? It's pretty easy to neutralize a kick return game if you have a guy that kicks it into the endzone consistently. I think having a guy that punts as well as Scott is every bit as important as a good FG kicker. Hell, Brad Wing and our punt coverage team was a big part of why we were so good in 2011. But yeah, Blankenship def showed he has legit range last night

Well.........when we try to do that, yes. However, we generally pin the ball at the 3 and cover. And, to be fair, we generally do it extremely well.

Yea I agree - having Scott, especially in a game like this, is a huge weapon. And outside of last night, Pappa has been pretty solid inside 40. I still don't trust him, though, but that's just Stockholm Syndrome really.

Scott seems to favor hangtime over distance this season. Nizialek is one of the better punters in the nation. He had 6 punts at 48 yards per.

Other than punting, there's kickoff return and coverage. Punt return and coverage which slightly favors UGA. Kicking is a huge UGA advantage. Hardman is probably the more dynamic returner.
