Former Kentucky star Austin MacGinnis hits game-winner in AAF debut

This evening, MacGinnis stole the show in his professional football debut, where he drilled four out of four field goals, including the go-ahead score to win the game for his team.

Sound familiar?

His first professional attempt came late in the first quarter with his team down 6-0 to the San Diego Fleet.

46 yards out, he drilled it. Right down the middle.

On the very next Express possession, MacGinnis hit a 40-yarder to cut the Fleet’s lead to 14-6 with 10:58 left in the first half.
