So what could he possibly have in store for a grand finale?
Georgia senior kicker Marshall Morgan set a Southeastern Conference single-season accuracy record two years ago and set an SEC career standard last year. He has made 38 of 45 field-goal attempts the past two seasons — a sizzling 84.4-percent success rate — but there are still objectives for the 6-foot-1, 200-pounder from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
“Of course I want a national championship and the SEC championship,” Morgan said by phone Thursday night after practice. “A personal goal of mine is to be an All-American. That’s the next step.”
Morgan set a league mark in 2013 by making 22 of 24 field-goal tries, that 91.7-percent clip the highest of any SEC kicker with a minimum of 20 makes. His 42-yard field goal to top Tennessee in overtime that season started a streak of 20 consecutive successful field goals that carried into the 2014 season.
That broke the record of 18 in a row set by Tennessee’s Fuad Reveiz in 1982, but Morgan isn’t frequenting the practice fields in Athens this spring simply resting on the past.
