The History of the 55-Yard Field Goal



Blue Football Through and Through broke the news on Monday that Boise State's game with UCF was the third time in NCAA history (154 years) that opposing players kicked field goals of 55+ yards in the same game.  This information has come directly from the 133 Media Relations departments of the current FBS schools.  Out of the tens of thousands of college football games, Saturday's game was the third which featured such historic results.

Prior to the Bronco game, in which both Jonah Dalmas of Boise State (56 yards) and Colton Boomer of UCF (55 yards) there were only two times in which the feat was achieved.  This article not only gives the background for the first such time in NCAA history (Texas's Russell Erxlerben's 58-yarder followed by Arkansas's Steve Little's 67-yarder on October 15, 1977), but shows the prowess and determination that field kickers from Texas had to be distance-dominant.

The Washington State-Arizona game in 2017, which featured a 57-yard field goal by Lucas Havrisik of Arizona and a 56-yarder from WSU's Erik Powell, was the second time in which opposing kickers booted field goals of 55 yards or longer in the same game.

An astounding 67 of the 363 field goals of 55+ (18.5%) have been made by kickers from Texas colleges.  There are also several oddities unearthed by our research.   This includes 18 by kickers from the University of Texas,14 by kickers from Texas A&M, 10 by UTEP placekickers and 6 by Texas Tech.

So difficult is a 55-yard field goal that Erxlerben (9),  Tony Franklin of Texas A&M (6) Colorado's Mason Crosby (6) and Jason Hanson of Washington State (4) are the only players in NCAA history to accomplish the feat more than three times in a major college football game.

Here are the all-time longest collegiate including all divisions:


1.  69 yards--Ove Johansson (Abilene Christian) vs. East Texas State, 1976

2.  67 yards--Russell Erxlerben (Texas) vs. Rice, 1977

2.  67 yards--Steve Little (Arkansas) vs. Texas, 1977

2.  67 yards--Joe Williams (Wichita State) vs. Southern Illinois, 1978

2.  67 yards--Tom Odle (Fort Hays State) vs. Washburn, 1988

6.  65 yards--John Haxall (Princeton) vs. Yale, 1882

6.  65 yards--Tony Franklin (Texas A&M) vs. Baylor, 1976

6.  65 yards--Martin Gramatica (Kansas State) vs. Northern Illinois, 1998

9.  64 yards--Tony Franklin (Texas A&M) vs. Baylor, 1976

9.  64 yards--Russell Erxlerben (Texas) vs. Oklahoma, 1977

9.  64 yards--Jose Martinez (UTEP) vs. UCF, 2008

12.  63 yards--Joe Duren (Arkansas State) vs. McNeese State, 1974

12.  63 yards--Clark Kemble (Colorado State) vs. Arizona, 1975

12.  63 yards--Morten Anderson (Michigan State) vs. Ohio State, 1981

12.  63 yards--Tim Foley (Georgia Southern) vs. James Madison, 1987

12.  63 yards--Scott Roper (Arkansas State) vs. North Texas, 1987

12.  63 yards--Bill Gramatica (South Florida) vs. Austin Peay, 2000


In the 136-year history of Notre Dame football, its longest field goal is 54 yards.  In the 133-year history of Army football, its longest field goal is 53 yards.  In the 144-year history of football at Navy, its longest field goal is 54 yards.  Louisville and Northwestern of the Big Ten Conference also do not have any field goals of 55 yards or longer.  

Powerhouse USC, in its 135 years of playing football, has one field goal of 55 yards+ (Don Shafer's 60-yarder in 1986), compared to Boise State's two total and one in 27 years as a major college football team.  Boston College and North Carolina of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Rutgers of the Big Ten (which has been playing football for 154 years, longer than any other college), Arkansas of the SEC and BYU and UCF of the Big 12 all are represented once on this list, the same as Boise State. 

We have organized the list first chronologically to show the history of the 55-yard field goal and highlight the three instances of opposing 55-yard field goals in the same game in NCAA history, then also reveal the list to show the kicks in order of distance.  Finally, we show the list organized by school, which brings home the point made in the above paragraph.  All of this information is brought to you exclusively by Blue Football Through and Through--you won't see it anywhere else.

The chronological list shows us that very few 55-yard field goals were made in college football's early days.  John Haxall of Princeton, after discovering the football traveled farther when kicked on its end than in the middle, sailed one through the uprights from 65 yards, a record which stood for 77 years.  According to The Daily Princetonian in December of 1915, "Later in the game Haxall tried another goal from 90 yards but the ball fell barely two feet short of the mark."

Some kickers drop-kicked the ball, meaning they kicked it right as the ball hit the ground.  You will note that Pat O'Dea's kick in 1898 specifically states that it was a drop kick.  Others from that era may or may not have been.  

Following those five early kicks, 62 years passed (1904-1966) before another college football player was able to make the distance.  

There have been a total of 363 recorded field goals of 55 yards or longer in major college football games, or an average of a little over two per year.  Field goal kickers were greatest in the 80's, when 82 of the 363 in the list were made (average of 8.2) and the 70's, when 81 of the 363 were made (average of 8.1).  

Field goals 55 yards and over dropped to just 51 in the 90's and 47 in the 00's before increasing to 56 in the 2010's and numbering 35 in the 2020's.

More field goals of 55+ were made in 1977 than any other year (23), during the heyday of the long-distance field goal.  There were 17 in 1975 while1982 featured 13 from 55 or beyond.

In addition to the three games in NCAA history in which opposing players kicked field goals of 55 yards+ in the same game, we also note the eight instances in which the same player kicked two 55-yard+ field goals.  There were also a few select instances in which a player kicked a 55-yarder or longer against an opponent whose roster included another player who kicked one that same year but not in the same game.  

Although our list is only made up of kickers who achieved the feat in a major college football game, we also show those players below major college level who have achieved the feat, including Ove Johansson of Abilene Christian (pictured above), whose 69-yard field goal is the longest ever kicked in a college football game.  Coincidentally, Tony Franklin of Texas A&M made his 65-yard field goal (one of two kicked against Baylor) on the same day as Johansson.

Here are the complete lists of major college football games in which a 55-yard field goal was made, organized in the manner described above.

______________________________________________________

*Skladamy of Ohio State kicked his 59-yard field goal against Illinois.  On the opposing sideline was Dan Beaver, who didn't kick a 55-yarder in that game but did (a 57-yarder) against Purdue that same year.

*Chris Bahr of Penn State kicked a 55-yarder against Temple while Don Bitterlick of the Owls was on the other sideline.  While Bitterlick didn't kick any field goals 55 yards or longer in that game, he did boot a 56-yarder against Akron that same year.

*Bahr booted another 55-yarder vs. Syracuse.  Dave Jacobs was on the opposing sideline.  Jacobs didn't kick any field goals of 55 or longer in that game, but he hit a 58-yarder against Boston College that same year.

*Franklin's 57-yard field goal against Texas was made with elite kicker Russell Erxlerben on the opposing sideline.  Erxlerben didn't boot one 55 yards or longer on that day, but he did of course kick many others on different days, including a 57-yarder against SMU that same year.

*Erxlerben's field goals of 58 and 64 yards against Oklahoma were made with Oklahoma's Uwe von Schamann on the opposing sideline.  Von Schamann's only field goal of 55 yards or longer was made not on that day but against Oklahoma State that season.

*Gerger's kick of 57 yards for Oregon was against Paul Watson and Washington State.  Though Watson didn't kick any field goals of 55 yards on that day, he did hit a 57-yarder against Idaho that same year.

*Bill Adams' field goal of 57 yards for Texas Tech in 1977 was made in front of Russell Exlerben of Texas who of course nailed numerous kicks of 55 yards and longer, including 6 that season, but not in the Texas Tech game.

*Steve Mormon's 56-yard field goal for TCU in 1977 was against Oregon.  Rex Gerger of Oregon kicked a 57-yarder against Washington State that same year, but none of 55+ against TCU.

*Miller's kick of 55 yards for Miami of Florida against Florida was while Brian Clark was on the opposing sideline.  Clark booted his 55-yarder against Kentucky that same year, but none of that distance in the Miami game.

*Fuad Reveiz of Tennessee hit a 60-yard field goal against Georgia Tech in 1982 with Ron Rice on the opposing sideline.  Rice didn't hit his 55-yarder on that day, but rather against The Citadel that same season.

*Mark Fleetwood's 58-yard kick for South Carolina was made with Georgia's Kevin Butler on the sidelines.  Butler obviously had ample leg but did not attempt any 55+ field goals on that day.  Butler made his 59-yarder vs. Mississippi that same year.

*Luis Zendejas of Arizona State kicked his 55-yarder against Oregon State with Chris Mangold of the Beavers watching from the other sideline.  Mangold connected on his 58-yarder not against Zendejas and Arizona State but versus San Jose State that same year.

*Andre Guardi's field goal of 55 yards against Colorado State in 1985 came while Steve DeLine of the Rams was looking on.  DeLine didn't get any 55+ field goals that day, but his 60-yarder against Air Force led all kickers that year.

*The Missouri-Colorado matchup in 1986 was a great opportunity for the nation to see two 55+ field goals from opposing players for a second time.  Both Tom Whelihan of Missouri and Colorado's Dave DeLine had the ability.  Whelihan hit a 62-yarder on that day, but DeLine had to wait until the Nebraska game to make his from 56 yards.

*When Michigan faced off against Michigan State in 1999, two long distance phenoms were on opposing sidelines.  Hayden Epstein of Michigan was successful on a 56-yard attempt that day, but Paul Edinger of Michigan State booted his 55-yarder not versus Michigan but against Wisconsin that same year.

*When Kevin Kerr of Ohio connected on a 55-yard field goal try against Toledo, there was another opportunity for history.  But Todd France of Toledo didn't make a field goal of 55+ that afternoon.  France kicked his 55-yarder against Western Michigan.

*In 2006, Alexis Serna of Oregon State booted a 58-yarder vs. California.  Reagan Schneider didn't kick a 55+ field goal that night, but he did hit a 55-yarder against Stanford that same season.

*Goessling's national best kick of 58 yards for Fresno State in 2008 came against Chris Ulinski of Utah State.  Ulinski hit his 56-yard try against New Mexico State that season, not in the game vs. Fresno State.

*Marshall Koehn of Iowa hit a 57-yarder against Pittsburgh in 2015.  Chris Blewitt of Pittsburgh did not hit a field goal of 55+ that afternoon but did connect on a 56-yard attempt vs. Georgia Tech that season.

*Matt Gay's field goal of 56 yards in 2017 came against Washington State, which also featured a long distance phenom, Erik Powell.  Powell didn't hit on 55+ that evening, but saved his best (56 yards) for the Arizona game, one of only three in NCAA history to include field goals of 55+ from opposing players in the same game.
