SAN FRANCISCO – After kicking a school-record six field goals in leading Utah to a 32-25 win over Oregon on Saturday, Utah senior kicker Matt Gay was named the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week. It is the third Pac-12 Player of the Week award this season for Gay and also the third of his career.
Gay was spectacular in scoring 20 of Utah's 32 points on 6-of-6 field goal kicking and 2-of-2 PATs. His 20 points tied the school record for points in a game by a kicker and he is one of two kickers nationally to score 20 points in a game this season.
His six field goals, which broke the school record set in 2009, is tied for most in the nation in a game this season. He has now made 18 straight field goals, which ties the school record.
Gay's 55-yarder against the Ducks as time expired in the second quarter was a season-long and his sixth career field goal of 50-plus yards. He moved into the Pac-12 lead in field goals per game (2.0), which ranks third nationally.
