After being a semifinalist his freshman and sophomore seasons, Seth Marler finally broke through as a junior and won the Lou Groza Award. Marler made 15 of the 16 field goal attempts he made (the only miss was blocked) and connected on 39 of 40 extra points. He went three for three on kicks longer than 50 yards, including a 53-yarder against East Carolina that was the second-longest field goal in Green Wave history. Marler’s field goal percentage of 93.8% shattered the previous school mark by more than 10 percent. Marler finished his career at Tulane in 2002 as the most prolific kicker ever to wear a Green Wave jersey, making 66 field goals during his four years in New Orleans.

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.
