-Five total FGs blocked in CG history
-Two blocked FGs returned for TDs in CG history

Four of the five blocked by Georgia and both TD returns by Georgia?


I remember Ogletree running one back against Alabama in 2012 and then obviously Smith against LSU, so that's accurate, but to have 4 of the 5 AND both TDs is surprising. Can anyone confirm or know who got the one that Georgia didn't?

I know UGA blocked one against Auburn in 2017, but I don’t remember the 4th.

We blocked an Arkansas punt in 2002, LSU punt in 2005, Bama FG in 2012, Auburn FG in 2017, and LSU FG in 2022.

That’s 3 FGs and 2 punts. I don’t recall any blocks in 2011, 2018, 2019 or 2021 but I could be wrong.

Arky punt block in the old dome was the loudest crowd reaction I've ever heard in person.

That olgetree return was amazing too. They had the camera angle from the end zone so Alec looked like he was running right into your living room. Thought we had that game at that point.

That was the point in that game where I though “holy shite we’re going to win this”

Alas….

But…it was a great play nonetheless. I bet Alec hit 24 mph on that run back.

That's my recollection too.
