Roberto Aguayo proved more than capable of carrying on the lineage of great kickers at Florida State. During his freshman year Aguayo made the first 70 kicks in his career, setting the Seminoles’ all-time record for consecutive makes. While his only missed field goal of the year broke that streak, he had made all 84 of his extra point attempts, setting the FBS record for most consecutive PATs in one season. Combined with his 18 field goals, that gave him 138 points on the season, the most by any kicker in the nation and the third-most by any player at any position.

Nate Kaeding began the 2002 season by making 19 field goals in a row, and finished off his Lou Groza Award-winning campaign by making 21 field goals on 24 attempts. Kaeding set a new Iowa record by converting on 57 extra points, besting the old mark by six, and his 120 total points is the most ever in a single season in the extensive history of the Big Ten Conference for a kicker. The model of consistency, Kaeding made two or more field goals in seven of the Hawkeye’s 13 games. He also put on display his ability to connect on kicks from long-range – Kaeding made eight field goals from at least 40 yards away, three of which were from more than 50 yards out.
