Missouri’s Harrison Mevis Drills Last-Second 61-Yard FG to Upset Kansas State
College football witnessed another ranked team get upset on Saturday in incredible, record-setting fashion.
Missouri, four-point home underdogs, toppled No. 15 Kansas State 30–27 on the strength of an SEC record 61-yard field goal by Harrison Mevis.
With the game tied 27–27 and only three seconds remaining in the game, Mevis blasted the mammoth game-winner through the rain to give the Tigers to an incredible walk-off win.
The kick by Mevis, an SEC record, falls shy of the Abilene Christian's Ove Johansson NCAA record 69-yard field goal against East Texas State back in 1976.
Although, Mevis’ kick came up short of earning placement as the longest field goal in college football history, it will live forever in Tigers’ lure.
Missouri, which improves to 3–0 on the year, will host Memphis next week at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium. Kansas State, which falls to 2–1, will look to rebound when they host UCF at home at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium next Saturday.
