TROY, Ala. – Brooks Buce said he tried not think about a game-winning kick before he trotted onto the field at The Vet in the final minutes of a tie game.
"When I went out there, I was trying to clear my mind of everything but the one goal -- which was to get the team a win and try to block out all the crowd noise and everything," Buce said.
That was harder than he imagined.
"Of course, you know the situation," the transfer kicker from Johns Creek, Ga., said. "Luckily, I have a really good snapper and holder to help execute that play, and we went out there and executed it.
