Kentucky junior punter Max Duffy has been named SEC Special Teams Player of the Week after his performance in the Wildcats win vs. the Missouri Tigers.
Duffy punted five times for a 52.4-yard average, including a career long of 70-yards. After Duffy’s punts, the Tigers average starting field position was at its own 14-yard line.
Duffy’s biggest play of the night came early in the fourth quarter. On 4th-and-6, the junior from Perth, Australia, noticed an opening and ran for 26-yards to pick up a Kentucky first down. The play kept the drive alive and the Wildcats capped it off with a Lynn Bowden 33-yard touchdown run.
