2013 College Net Average in Cold Weather Leaders
Net average counting only punts in outdoor games played below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold air is dense and the ball is hard and slick, so distance drops and returners get fewer clean catches.
Domes and closed roofs are left out. Only punters with enough cold-weather punts are ranked, and the sample is often small, so read it next to his overall net average. In 2013, Spencer Roth (43.5) led college football punters in net average in cold weather, ahead of Zac Murphy (41.6) and Sam Foltz (41.2). 15 punters qualify (minimum 10 punts in cold weather (under 40 F)). The median qualified punter had 37.4.
