Nicholson finished the season 26-for-27 on field goals, with his only miss coming late in Miami’s MAC Championship Game victory over Toledo. With a 23-for-23 regular season, Nicholson set a new FBS record for the most field goals in a perfect regular season, topping 2012 Lou Groza Award winner Cairo Santos’ mark of 21. Add two more to start the MAC Championship Game and he made 25 consecutive field goals, matching the all-time FBS record for the longest streak in one season. Overall, his 26 field goals tied for the second-most in FBS while his 96.3% accuracy was the highest by any kicker with even 15 attempts on the year. He also set the bar for consistency by making field goals in every game of the season. Of the eight FBS kickers who made at least 23 field goals, he’s the only one who can make that claim. He kicked multiple field goals in nine games, including a trio of 3-for-3 performances. In two of those, he outscored the RedHawks’ opponent on his own, totaling 11 points in both a 23-3 win over Kent State and a 23-10 victory over Buffalo.

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.
