Georgia sophomore kicker Jack Podlesny is not on scholarship, but he should be after his performance in the Bulldogs 24-21 win over Cincinnati in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl.
The St. Simons Island native nailed a 37-yard kick to get help the Bulldogs get back in the game and then made the 53-yard game-winning field goal with three seconds remaining to send Georgia into the New Year with a win.
