What was the secret to WSU kicker Erik Powell’s much-improved senior year?

Apple sauce and Rice Krispies played a part in Erik Powell's big senior year. But above all, the mental game trumped all, and Powell says this was the year he learned to put everything together

Twice this season, in what’s been the best year of his career, Washington State kicker Erik Powell has reset his career-long in field goals.

He converted a 52-yard field goal against Oregon, matched that at Cal, then knocked a 56-yarder between the uprights against Arizona with room to spare.

“I like to say that kick would have been good from 62,” Powell says.
