I think teams (both us and our opponent) are on like a 1-15 streak since that game with GW FG attempts. 2016 UK is the only one that I can remember since 07 Egg. Someone double check my memory.

St. Petersburg bowl win over Miami (Ohio) in 2016, and I think that's it.
It's pretty crazy looking back over our scores the last decade plus just how few have been decided by 3 points or less, or even by a TD or less. We tended to win fairly comfortably and lose big.
Well we lost the Egg Bowl in 2007. But I did a google search and man all I saw was heartbreak and sorrow in that department. Arkansas this year, South Alabama, LSU, 1983 Egg Bowl. All lost on last-second field goal misses.
I remember Arkansas spoiling two or three attempts in 2000 during that Godawful sleet storm. That was the worst.
The last time I remember a kicker winning a game is in 1999 against Kentucky. I'm sure there are others but that's the last I remember.
Didn't we block a field goal against Miami Oh. to win that game?Quote:

If memory serves the DOGS beat #4 Tigahs in the first night game (portable lights) at Scott Field on a last second FG by a kid from La. The coldest game I remember and probably one of the five best......John Bond at his toughest......
1982. I remember watching that on TV as a 9 year old. That was a big deal.Quote:

We hit our FG well before it was game winning. I guess I could have specified as Game ending.Quote:

No, we lost. It was the start of the downfall in the JWS era. We were never the same after that game. The downward spiral continued on in to the next two seasons (01-02). I may be wrong but that is how I remember it.Quote:

The St Pete bowl we blocked a kick at the end to win, just like at Arkansas 2015. But our winning points in the bowl game, off a FG, came with 12 minutes left.
The only game winning FGs made by State, that I can think of...... are 2007 EB, 1999 v UK and OM, 1998 Arkansas, 1997 v Memphis (which there may have been some time left but it was very close to the end of the game). I may be missing some. I don't have very good recall on the Croom era for whatever reason....ha. Also, Artie Cosby hit a 54 yarder v Memphis around 1984 or 85. THen someone mentioned Dana Moore's winning FG v LSU at home.
Oh, didn't we MISS a game tying or winning v LSU in 2015? Early in the season at home.
Maybe, I remember that game.Quote:

The other problem in 2001 was we lost another NFL entire DL. The JUCO fills ins were too big a drop off and several were busts.
2013 didn't we hit the game tying FG to send to OT?Quote:
