UW’s Cameron Van Winkle didn’t let a missed kick at Boise State get him down for long

Washington kicker Cameron Van Winkle’s 46-yard attempt at Boise State barely missed to the right. Now he has set his goals even higher for the rest of the season — perfection.

It has been six days since Cameron Van Winkle’s 46-yard field goal attempt slid a shoe-length wide of the upright in the game’s closing seconds.
