AUBURN, Ala. – Daniel Carlson made 88 field goals during his time at Auburn. He consistently knocked down kicks of 50-plus yards. There were games where he made four, five or even six field goals – his six field-goal performance to beat LSU might have cost Les Miles his job. But the kick he remembers the most? He missed it.

It was Jan. 1, 2015. Carlson was still a redshirt freshman at the time, kicking in his first bowl game – the Outback Bowl against Wisconsin.
