Hofrichter averaged 52.2 yards on nine punts against the Tigers, the fourth-highest, single-game average in team history for a player with a minimum of three punts.

Hofrichter hit a career-best six punts that traveled at least 50 yards, including matching his career long with a 65-yard boot. Additionally, he averaged 51.9 net yards per kick, as only two of his punts were returned for a total of three yards.
