1. Place Kickers

I hate to beat a dead horse, but two kickers combining for four makes and five misses isn’t very good.

William Ham has only made three of his seven attempts and Rodrigo Blankenship has only kicked two field goals and he’s hitting at .500.

Eventually Georgia is going to get into a game where they need field goals to stay in a ball game, maybe even one in the last minute to win. Right now, how can anyone from the coaching staff to the fans rely on either guy to supply a clutch field goal?

Everyone else on this list has someone who can take some pressure off of them and perform in their place. Not Ham and Blankenship, one of them has to take over place kicking duties and become a kicker the team can rely on.
