Georgia specialist is highest graded player at his position in CFB

Georgia’s punter has been an absolute weapon this season

Georgia Bulldogs punter Brett Thorson is the highest graded punter in college football. Thorson has an overall grade of 94.2, per Pro Football Focus, and is averaging 4.64 seconds of hang time on his punts, which is highest in the country.

The junior punter from Melbourne, Australia, has punted 22 times this season. Thorson is averaging an impressive 48.3 yards per punt and has a long of 58 yards. There’s no doubt that Thorson is a weapon for the Georgia special teams.

Thorson did not have punt returned during the 2023 college football season. This year, he has had a few punts returned, but the Bulldogs have not allowed any lengthy returns.

Thirteen of Thorson’s 22 punts have been downed inside the 20. The Bulldogs took advantage of winning the field position battle against the Texas Longhorns and set up the UGA offense with several short fields. Thorson had his best game of the season against the Longhorns. He averaged 54 yards per punt against Texas.

Keys for Ohio State to defeat Georgia in the Peach Bowl

What are your keys for the Buckeyes? #GoBucks

The Buckeyes are underdogs and aren’t projected by many to have a chance against Georgia, last year’s [autotag]College Football Playoff[/autotag] champion.

To say the Bulldogs are unbeatable, however, is false, even though they have not yet lost this season. They bring a 15-game winning streak and a 27-1 record over the last two seasons into this game.

It is not an easy task for [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] and [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag], but that is why they play the game. For the Buckeyes to come away with a win and play for a national championship, they are going to have to play one of their most complete games of the year. There will be plenty of keys to getting a victory against Georgia and here are a few that stick out.
