Mazza, a sophomore from Plano, Texas, had made all 18 of his field goal attempts until a miss this past week snapped the longest consecutive field goal streak in Washington State history. Still, at 18-for-19, his 94.7% accuracy rate is easily the best by any FBS kicker with multiple field goals from over 50 yards. It also will almost certainly finish as the most accurate season in school history. He has made multiple field goals in seven games this year and converted at least 5 PATs in five games, helping to a season scoring total of 105, tied for 2nd in the country

Elliot, a junior from Western Springs, Illinois is averaging 10.7 points per game this season, for Memphis’s high-rolling offense. He was crucial in Memphis’s exciting win over Bowling Green, hitting the eventual game-winner to put Memphis ahead 44-41. He played a large role in the Tiger’s upset of then number 10 Ole Miss, going a perfect 3 for 3 on field goal attempts. On the year, Elliot is 22 of 26 on all field goal attempts giving him an 84.6% conversion rate. He added 53 PATs for a total of 119 points.

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.
