Randy Bullock, in every game of the 2011 season, had connected with at least one field goal, including multiple connections in seven games. Bullock has had a record-breaking season. He has become Texas A&M’s all-time leading scorer with 350 points, surpassing the old mark of 325. Through 12 games, he connected on 25 of 29 field goals and 52 of 54 extra-point attempts. In his stellar senior season, Bullock set a new Texas A&M single-season record with 25 field goals made surpassing Scott Slater’s 1986 record of 21. The Klein, Texas native finished one point shy of Joel Hunt’s 1927 school record of 128 field goals made in one season.

Matt Gay was the nation’s leading field goal kicker in the 2017 season. Connecting on 27 of his 31 attempts, the junior set a new Utah single-season record and finished the year with three more makes than any other kicker in the country. But his season was about much more than just that one number. The 27 makes included five field goals from at least 50 yards out, tied for the most in the nation. Those long distance kicks included not one but two connections from 56 yards out, tied for the longest field goals by regular FBS kickers that year. Against San Jose State, he connected from 56 and 50 in the same game, along with two more field goals and six PATs for an 18-point performance. His other 4-for-4 field goal game was even more important, as he provided nearly all the scoring against rival BYU in a 19-13 Holy War victory. In all, he made multiple field goals in nine games, racking up seven games with double-digit points. His 118 points are the third-most by a kicker in the 2017 season, and he’s the only kicker in the top fifteen with fewer than 40 extra point attempts.
