What is the longest field goal kick?

Three people have kicked a 67-yard FG:

• Russell Erxleben, Texas vs. Rice, Oct. 1, 1977

• Steve Little, Arkansas vs. Texas, Oct. 15, 1977

• Joe Williams, Wichita State vs. Southern Ill., Oct. 21, 1978

The site also has other qualifications to the longest FG question (longest indoors, longest without a tee, etc.) if you're interested.

The NCAA changed the rules after the 1978 season - before that a kicker could keep an old roughed-up ball to use when he kicked, after that the NCAA started supplying NEW footballs for use in all games - and required the kickers to use those. These records are likely to stand for some time.

The all time college record:

69 yards Ove Johansson, Abilene Christian (W 17-0) v East Texas St., 10/16/1976 (2" tee) Shotwell Stadium, Abilene.
