VIDEO: Wisconsin Kicker Zach Hintze Drills 62-Yard FG as Time Expires in First Half vs Purdue
By Sean Facey
What a kick! Staked with a slim four-point lead over the Purdue Boilermakers heading into the halftime break, Wisconsin sent kicker Zach Hintze out to do the near-impossible and kick a 62-yard field goal. So, what ended up happening? He nailed it, of course.
62-yard FG?

That's simply unreal. He made it with room to spare!
Most NFL kickers can only dream of nailing a 62-yarder in live action. The fact that a college kicker in Hintze managed to do it with time expiring in a close game makes it that much more impressive. What a boost for the Badgers at Camp-Randall.
