One maligned OSU kicker earned cult status on a last second kick in Norman. Another, more popular one, didn’t even get that chance.
Ben Grogan, who ended as the program’s all-time leader in scoring, was a favorite scapegoat for OSU’s fanbase before he put together a nice resume of clutch kicks, including a game-winner in Norman in 2014.
Matt Ammendola has had his history of slumps and head-scratching misses but has been mostly dependable and has shown off YouTube-worthy range during his career. But his connection with Bedlam will undoubtedly have a negative connotation.
Early in 2017, Ammendola went 2-for-4 at Texas Tech with misses from 18 and 22 yards.
