VIDEO: Wisconsin's Zach Hintze Booted a 62-Yard Field Goal
By Kyle Koster
Purdue gave Wisconsin all it could handle in the first half as the Badgers battle to keep their Big Ten West title hopes alive. With a four-point lead in the final seconds, Paul Chryst opted to allow his kicker, Zach Hintze, try a 62-yard field goal.
The odds of blasting through a kick of that distance are low, but hey, what's the harm in trying (non-Kick Six division)? Hintz took the opportunity and ran with it, booting a majestic rainbow that managed to sneak through the uprights and over the cross bar.
62-yard FG?

The collegiate record for distance without a tee is 65, set by Kansas State's Martin Gramatica in 1998.
