Wow! 68 yard Field Goal attempted


HUSKER 37

Well, back in the '70s, two kickers - one from Arkansas named Steve Little and the other from Texas named Russel Erklaban or something like that - seemed to be in a kicking duel, with both ending up kicking 67 yarders.

 

Of course, they kicked using "broken in" balls, and had tees. But it was enough that Grant Teaff of Baylor, who was on the NCAA Competition Committee pushed through the provision to remove tees, if I recall correctly.

Cardinals attempt to use rare rule for 68-yard FG

GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Arizona Cardinals tried to take advantage of a rarely used rule on a fair-catch kick for what would've been a 68-yard field goal to end the first half against the New York Giants on Sunday.

 

 

It didn't work.

 

It started when Steve Breaston made a fair catch of a punt by New York's Jeff Feagles at the Cardinals 32 with 5 seconds left in the half. Arizona opted to go for a field goal with the Giants, by rule on a fair-catch kick, 10 yards from the spot of the ball.

 

But Neil Rackers' kick didn't have a chance, bounding downfield where Reuben Droughns returned it 29 yards to the New York 31 as the half ended.

Missed badly..But I was getting geese bumps..

 

 

Saw that... 68 yards??? Is that possible??

If I remember correctly...didn't Tampa Bay's Matt Bryant kick and make a 67 or 68 yarder last season? I know it was a super long kick at least..
