AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Daniel Carlson's mighty field goal in Auburn's season-opener has earned him the special team's player of the week award from the Southeastern Conference, the league announced Monday.
Carlson hit a 56-yard field goal in Auburn's 31-24 win over Louisville, which matched the third longest in school history, the longest in his career and was a Chick-fil-A Kickoff game record.
"I had a lot of confidence going into it," Carlson said. "I went in like any other kick, and kicked it well."
He's also made 61 consecutive conversion kicks after a touchdown.
