Probably was a good thing he didn't know it was a record setting kick.
Here’s what redshirt freshman kicker Austin MacGinnis had to say about his school record 54-yard field goal to end the first half in Saturday’s loss at Tennessee.
On his school-record setting field goal …
“When I went out there, I didn’t even know how long it was or that it was for the school record. I knew Coach Stoops called field goal to end the first half and I am just blessed that it went in.”
On him kicking several field goals at the end of the first half this season …
“I don’t know about that, but I really like kicking right before halftime. It is just another chance to get points on the board. I feel that making a field goal at the end of the half like that is a huge momentum boast for our team.”
On holding the school record as a freshman …
“Yeah, that is cool. I am just blessed to have three more years after this to try to set a new record. I just feel blessed every day and can’t wait to get back to work and get better.”

If he puts the work in and develops the strength of his leg he has a chance to make a very good living in the NFL.

It's good to know we will have a great kicker for the next 3 seasons.

Way to look at the positive, CMD! A good kicker is sometimes hard to find. Just ask Alabama!

Look at all the games and there are many where a 150 lb., 5' 5" kicker gets carried off the field because his ability to kick a field goal.

Like I said, in the last couple of years, Saban has struggled to have confidence in his kickers!
