Missouri Upset Kansas State On A 61-Yard Walk-Off Field Goal

Week 3 of the college football season brought us a Big 12 vs. SEC showdown in Columbia. The Kansas State Wildcats, ranked 15th in America, hit the road to face Missouri, who was hoping to bounce back in a big way after a disappointing performance in a home win over Middle Tennessee State last week.

The Tigers entered the fourth quarter with a 24-17 deficit, but scored an early field goal before scoring a touchdown to take the lead with just over eight minutes remaining. Because Kansas State was able to tie the game with a field goal of its own and then the two teams traded punts, it looked like things were going to overtime unless Missouri was able to make something happen in the 85 seconds they had the ball. .

They managed to do just that, as the team ran 10 plays to set up a field goal attempt for their All-American kicker, Harrison Mevis. This required quite a kick, as he lined up 61 yards out, but even if things had been moved back a bit, Mevis would have drilled that.

It was just ridiculous, and it will stay that way. longest field goal in SEC history.
