1) FG % -- The record for FG % is held by Jet Toner at 0.933 (14/15) in 2018. Karty will beat that record if he doesn't miss 2 FGs against BYU.
2) FG MADE IN GAME -- Karty already shares this record (5) with John Hopkins and Nate Whitaker.
3) LONGEST FG -- Today's 61 yard FG by Karty broke the record of 59 yards held by Mark Harmon and Rod Garcia.
4) EXTRA POINT % -- Karty joins a number of kickers with a perfect record on extra point kicks, both for a season and career.
The 61-yarder was also a Big Game record.
He very well may be Stanfords only first team All PAC-12 pick. I don’t think Stanford has ever had a place kicker in NFL. Hoping he ends that drought.
Phogge is right. Moody will win the Groza. He’s 25-30. 47-47 on extra points. Michigan actually scores TD. Lots of opportunities.
Thing about Karty is not just that he’s been perfect. He’s 12-12 on kicks of 40 or more. That’s damn impressive.
I think Mike Michel and Braden Beck were the only Stanford kickers that played in the NFL or AFL -- and Michel was really a punter. Michel was a 5th round pick of the Dolphins, went 9 for 12 on extra points, and didn't attempt a field goal. Beck was drafted in the 19th round of the 1965 AFL draft, he played two games for Houston, and went 1 for 2 on both FGs and XPs.
I think Conrad Ukropina was invited to a combine. I don't think any other Stanford kicker had a sniff of the NFL.
