## Resource

When a kicker misses a 50-yard field goal at the buzzer, it can change a championship’s fate — just like in that wild 2022 Ohio State vs. Georgia game. Now, UCLA’s Mateen Bhaghani is proving why kickers deserve more spotlight: ranked sixth nationally as a high schooler, a two-time high school special teams standout, and a game-winner in college. After starting at Cal as a walk-on, he transferred to UCLA and has been flawless — 20 field goals last season, including a 57-yarder against Iowa, and perfect on extra points. With a new coaching staff and roster, Bhaghani’s clutch performances make UCLA a serious contender, especially when the clock runs out.
