Method

  • Every kicker who played at Purdue since 2004, ranked by field goals made over his games there. Bowl and playoff games count.
  • A kicker is in a box score only in a game he kicks a field goal or an extra point, not one he only kicks off in, so his games aren’t counted.
  • The numbers here start in 2004, so a kicker who played at Purdue before then isn't here.
  • A decade counts his field goals made at Purdue in its seasons.
  • The record book's numbers are the school's own. Where they and the box scores differ for one player, the box scores are missing a game or count bowls another way.
  • A kicker still playing at Purdue is counted at tonight's numbers against the record book's, which run through the 2025 season.
