Eberle, a sophomore from Nuremberg, Germany, is poised to set the Utah State record for field goal accuracy, finishing a season in which he has made 16-of-18 attempts thus far. Included in that total is a 52-yarder that is the longest field goal by an FBS kicker who has made at least 87% of his attempts. That kick came as part of a performance in which he went 4-for-4 on field goals and 7-for-7 on PATs, totaling 19 points to tie for the highest-scoring game by a kicker in FBS this season.

Graham Gano, a senior from Pensacola, Florida, was slated to become the first kicker in Bobby Bowden’s 33 years at Florida State to handle field goals, kick-offs and punts until two weeks before the start of the Seminoles’ season when he tore the meniscus in his right knee. After surgery and rehab, Gano was back on the field after missing just two games. He lined up for the first field goal attempt of his collegiate career from 52 yards, and missed that kick. It would be 55 days before he missed another field goal. Graham went on to make an FSU record 18 consecutive field goals, including five straight attempts from 50 yards or more. He is the only kicker in school history to convert over 90% of his field goals in a season.
