Texas A&M's Randy Bullock was named National Placekicker of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards after the senior connected on 4-of-4 field goal attempts on Thanksgiving night against Texas.
With a national television audience watching, the Lou Groza Award finalist hit field goals of 49, 52, 29 and 32 yards in length in the Aggies' narrow loss to the Longhorns. The 52-yarder was the longest of Bullock's career, and marked the longest by an Aggie since 1999. Bullock is one of three Groza finalists and will travel to Florida for the Home Depot College Football Award Show on Thursday, Dec. 9 .
Â
A senior from Klein High School, Bullock entered the game in a tie for the single season A&M field goal record of 21 set originally in 1986. Bullock's four three-pointers pushed the record to 25 (on 29 attempts). Bullock's 127 points in 2011 ranks behind only Joel Hunt's 128 points in 1927. Bullock also took sole possession of the season extra points record. The old record of 51 was set originally by Terry Venetoulias in 1993 and matched by Bullock in 2009 and 2011.
Â
On the career field goals chart, Bullock's raised his career total to 58, which ranks No. 2 in school history. He has connected on 58-of-75 field goal tries, which is on a school record pace for accuracy at 77.3 percent. He has scored 349 career points, which is already a school record.
