Brutal Day: ECU's Kicker Missed the Game-Tying Extra Point AND Game-Winning Field Goal
They don't come much worse than the day ECU kicker Owen Daffer had on Saturday.
First, Daffer shanked the extra point that would have tied the game between the Pirates and No. 13 NC State — though the holder didn't do him any favors, either. But it seemed like there could be a redemption story in the works when ECU got the ball back and drove down into field goal range for a potential game-winner.
And ...
Tough. ECU fought valiantly to pull off the huge in-state upset, but it just wasn't in the cards.
