Missed it and had a hard time getting a run down of what happened. Looks like it was a pretty boring game.....

Yes. He crushed it too - would have been good from 60-62. Unfortunately he sprained his MCL when a Maryland player hit him during his follow through on that kick.

Yep.....there’s a video of the kick in PineIslandLion’s thread.

It is my understanding that the Coach took the penalty. Ah! as the man always said: "Never take points off the board." Vince Lombardi.

Please ignore evidently they kept the field goal. Mea Culpa.

No, he declined it and left the points on the board. Sideline reporter said he wanted Hilling to have the record (and probably to not take the points off the board).

That's awful. Wonder if that's kicking leg or standing leg. Bad timing with PSU preseason camp coming up. PSU could really use him to be part of the competition. Hope it's not a serious spain.
