http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Video-Carson-Wiggs-hits-a-67-yard-field-goal-in?urn=ncaaf-wp680In a real game, against a live rush (the defense was not attempting a block), yes, that would be a record. Specifically, it would tie the Division I record, set three times in a span of a little over a year by a) Texas' Russell Erxleben, who drilled a 67-yarder against Rice in October 1977, b) Arkansas' Steve Little, who knocked one through from the same distance against the Longhorns just a few days later, and c) Wichita State's Joe Williams, who hit a 67-yarder against Southern Illinois in '78. Officially, it's unmatched since. The closest anyone's come in the last decade is UTEP's Jose Martinez, who hit from 64 yards out against Central Florida in 2008.
Not acknowledging Martin Grammatica's 65 yard FG record without a tee from Sept 12, 1998 against N. Illinois. This guy needs to corrected, but that would include me apparently having Facebook or Twitter to send him a message. Couldn't see a comment section for this article. Anyone else out there that feels Grammatica needs to be vindicated?
