ATHENS, Ga. – Three minutes into the second half of Georgia’s 19-13 triumph Saturday over Texas A&M, Rodrigo Blankenship made a 37-yard field goal to give the Bulldogs a 16-3 lead and become the leading scorer in program history.
Blankenship’s third of four field goals against the Aggies gave him 415 career points, breaking a tie with Blair Walsh, who tallied 412 points from 2008-11.
“In my five years here, I’ve tried to do everything I can to help out this team,” Blankenship said. “We’re doing some special things. It’s amazing to set the record, but it’s just a testament to our team developing and growing and getting better and better each year and being able to score points whenever we get the ball.
“It’s amazing, and I’m going to treasure this.”
Blankenship made field goals of 41, 49, 37 and 31 yards against the Aggies and now has 418 career points. He improved to 23-of-26 this year on field-goal tries, with his attempts marking a single-season high.
