Longest College Field Goal

Written on November 24, 2007 – 10:29 pm | by JC |

The longest field goal ever kicked can actually be attributed to 3 people. Sixty seven yards is the longest college field goal and they were all kicked in the 1970’s. With all the longest college field goal in the 70’s it must have been pretty good to be a kicker back then. So following is a list of the guys who have done it. Russell Erxleben did it in the Texas vs. Rice, game on October 1, 1977. Then Steve Little cranked one in the Arkansas vs. Texas game on October 15th 1977. Joe Williams also kicked one in the Wichita State vs. Southern Illinois game on October 21 1978.

The longest college field goal hasnt been kicked since, but there has been some recent events which merit attention. The fact that the longest college field goal in the Rose bowl was just recently kicked. This was made by Kai Forbath in the Bruins versus Oregon game. That was the third longest kick in school history and the longest field goal made at the Rose Bowl. for the Bruins which is pretty amazing.

This is technically then the longest college field goal in the rose bowl, but this came after no activity from the Bruins in the Beginning of the first Quarter. But boy it sure got the Bruins pumped.

Besides the longest college field goal recorded the Bruins made some great plays which only happened after they recovered a fumble by Oregon quarterback Cody Kempt.

Then, the next 3 plays by the Bruins were by Chris Markey who ran for 1 yard as well as Osaar Rasshan who was sacked for a 3 yard loss then only more bad news when Rasshan gets the snap and has no where to go and then gets sacked again for a 3 yard loss. Then the Oregon QB goes down later in the game and it just sits like so for the rest of the game. So the longest college field goal wasn’t kicked in this game, but a heck of a long one made a difference, thats for certain.
