Kirby Smart holds a rare in-person interview
In the age of COVID-19 protocols and virtual press conferences, Georgia Football head coach Kirby Smart stepped into a microphone in Indianapolis just minutes after landing to talk about the upcoming championship college football.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – One of the highlights of the Georgia Bulldogs football team’s last appearance in the national championship came to a halt during the team’s final practice in Indianapolis.
Rodrigo Blankenship, currently the NFL placekicker for the Indianapolis Colts, watched indoor practice Saturday as Georgia prepares to face the Alabama Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff National Championship.
Blankenship won the starting placekicker position in 2017, the last time Georgia qualified for the national championship. The Marietta native joined the team as an extra from Sprayberry High School before earning a scholarship and winning the Lou Groza Award as the top kicker in college football as a senior.
Blankenship scored Georgia’s first six points in the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship and scored a crucial basket in overtime against Alabama.
Blankenship said it was fun for him to feel like a fan during Georgia’s 2021 race.
