It was on the last play before halftime, so it wasn't much of a gamble.
Regardless, I thought there was no chance.
He not only made the kick, but it looked like he cleared it by about 10 yards.

Fabian has a son who plays there. I bumped into him last summer at a scrimmage and asked him the story with Murray's kicker. He told me that Murray rarely gave him opportunities to kick.
If I were Murray's head coach and getting blown out every week anyway, I'd let the kid try 70 yarders. I think he could do it.
