Daniel Carlson, K, Auburn

Daniel Carlson did not get a chance to kick a field goal against Arkansas due to the effectiveness of his offense. However, he did make all eight of his extra points. Carlson is the best kicker in the country and should be drafted this spring into the NFL.

Colby Delahoussaye, K, LSU

Delahoussaye made his only field goal attempted against Ole Miss. It was from 44 yards out. He also made all five of his extra point attempts. Delahoussaye is a solid college kicker.
