AUBURN, Ala. -- There was a familiar sight at Auburn's scrimmage Saturday. It was fourth down from the opponents' 45-yard line. Gus Malzahn had a decision to make -- go for it, punt it or kick the long field goal. He asked his kicker, "Are you good?" The response? "I'm good."

Then a Carlson stepped up and drilled a 62-yard field goal.

That's happened time and again over the past four seasons as coaches, teammates and fans alike had grown used to seeing Daniel Carlson routinely knock down field goals from 50-plus yards and even a couple from 60-plus in practice or in scrimmages.
