Flashback, December 2014. Boston College is in the Pinstripe Bowl and has just scored the potential go ahead touchdown in overtime on a beautiful pitch and catch from Tyler Murphy to David Dudeck. Place kicker Mike Knoll comes in for the XP, and his kick isn’t even close, missing by what seems like 10 yards.
It was a disappointing end to a disappointing year for Boston College kickers. All in all the team missed a whopping 8 extra points between Knoll, Alex Howell and Joey Launceford. Unfortunately for Knoll he became the poster boy for those struggles. For many, he became the personification on why BC lost that game.
