West Virginia kicker hit below the belt on field goal block attempt

West Virginia kicker Josh Lambert wrapped up a solid season with a perfect performance in the Liberty Bowl on Monday. He was 3-3 on field goal attempts, but paid the price. 

Late in the third quarter, Lambert got hit below the belt by a Texas A&M defender attempting to block a kick.

WVU went on to lose the game, 45-37.
