FAYETTEVILLE — Throughout the 1970s and ’80s, Arkansas had a kicker lineage as good as any over a comparable time period in college football history.
The Razorbacks’ kickers were often in the news. Steve Little kicked a record 67-yard field goal against Texas in 1977; Ish Ordonez made 16 consecutive field goals in 1978-79, at the time an NCAA record; and Kendall Trainor made 24 consecutive field goals in 1988, one shy of the NCAA record.
Little (1976 and ‘77) and Trainor (1988) were All-America kickers for Arkansas, as were Bill McClard in 1970 and Bruce Lahay in 1981.
