Need points? Better 📞 Sauls

Pitt has a first-team All-American … at kicker

Keeping with the aggressive theme, Pitt decided to send Ben Sauls out for a 58-yard field goal with 10:04 left in the second quarter. When Sauls confidently knocked it through, he tied school records for longest field goal and consecutive field goals made without a miss. 

Sauls has been a legitimate offensive weapon for the Panthers this season, something very few teams can say about their placekicker. He still hasn’t missed a field goal or extra point attempt and is putting together a first-team All-American caliber season while etching his name in the Pitt record books.
