Carl Etelman
- ... that in his final collegiate game, Tufts University football player Carl Etelman kicked a field goal with a broken ankle? Source: Thomas, Buddy (February 6, 2004). "Looking Back: Carl Etelman, unstoppable force". The Standard-Times. ("Nobody gave his leg a thump until the final game of the season. It was a hard enough thump to break the same ankle again. But Etelman refused to leave the game and two plays later he successfully drop-kicked a 40-yard field goal before being carried off the field.")

- New enough, long enough. Hook is interesting, but I cant see the "game-winning" in the sources. (They also disagree on 40 versus 48 yards). Doesn't smell like copyvio, but I can't seem to be able to check Earwig right now. Looks reasonably well cited, but you could try to combine some of the multiple citations to the same source. QPQ has been done. Should be good to go once the "game winning" issue is sorted one way or another.

- @Kusma: I thought I read that it was the game-winner, but I guess I misread. It was the margin of victory, but it was made early in the game per [1]. I've changed the hook accordingly. Which references should I combine? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:32, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: Sorry about that – I think there were some refs that looked identical yesterday, and now they don't. Or I am going crazy. Anyway, happy with the modified hook.
