Iowa State Kicker Kyle Konrardy Sets 63-Yard Field Goal Record

Iowa State football kicker Kyle Konrardy set a new school and Jack Trice Stadium record with a 63-yard field goal during a 55-7 victory over South Dakota, marking the second-longest field goal in Big 12 history. The kick came at the end of the first half after head coach Matt Campbell asked Konrardy if he wanted to attempt the field goal, leading to a celebratory reaction from teammates and coaches. Konrardy's confidence and consistent practice with holder Drew Clausen contributed to the successful kick, which was praised by players for its accuracy and power. The field goal was a highlight in a dominant team performance, though some discussions remain about the team's overall readiness to compete for the Big 12 title. Coach Campbell acknowledged the difficulty of long field goals but expressed confidence in Konrardy's abilities. This record-breaking kick adds to Konrardy's memorable career moments, including a previous game-winning 54-yard field goal against Iowa.
