Is this the same kicker that was being questioned, critiqued, and criticized at the beginning of the season?
Hughes' career-long 54-yard field goal as time expired — the longest game-winning field goal to end an App State victory in program history — delivered a 41-40 triumph in the Sun Belt opener at ULM late Saturday night.
"I'm very proud of our players," head coach Shawn Clark said. "Everyone involved in our program just showed resilience. The odds of us winning that football game were not good, but everyone stuck together."
The longest App State field goal since 2000 — and tied for the third-longest in program history — capped a six-play, 43-yard march after the Mountaineers (3-2, 1-0) had regained possession at their own 20 with 1:02 left on the clock and no timeouts remaining.
