Auburn wrote itself into the NCAA record books during its SEC road contest against Arkansas.
After the No. 11 Tigers' third touchdown of the day — a 48-yard pass from Bo Nix to Seth Williams to put them up 24-3 — sophomore kicker Anders Carlson knocked home the program's 303rd consecutive extra point, a new NCAA record.
The previous record was held by Florida State from 2012-16.
The program's last missed extra point came from Cody Parkey during a win at Tennessee in 2013.
Carlson is a perfect 71-for-71 on PATs in his career. His older brother, Daniel Carlson, was also perfect (198-198) in his four-year career from 2014-17.
UPDATE: Two touchdowns later, Carlson missed the PAT, settling the new NCAA record at 304 straight extra points. The sophomore is now 73-for-74 on PATs.
“It is the biggest blessing, just being a small part of a big thing going back to Cody and Daniel and all their long snappers and all their holders,” Carlson said.
