Has any kicker in history missed more PATs than Marshall Koehn?

It became the most fascinating part of the game. Vegas should've had a betting line on his extra points.
PSU does not have any scholarship kickers or punters. Their kicker missed 4 in two games and was benched.
Have to admit, I was really pissed because at the time it prevented us from scoring in the oh-so-lofty double digits.
Amazing we went 5 years without missing a PAT. He'd be fine in the NFL where the XP is 30+ yards.
That 57yd FG against Pitt makes up for it.
Koehn has surely been an enigma. His leg strength places him in the upper tier of kicking prospects. I don't think I've seen someone with a better field goal average from distance than XP average. I can't find statistics, but he has to be close.
Overall, he was 16/20 on FGs (80%) and 47/53 on XPs (89%) in 2015. Does anyone remember what distances his missed FGs were from this year? I wouldn't be surprised if his FG average on 40+ yarders was better than his XP average.

I agree, actually. Although not ideal, none of his missed XP had an impact on the outcome of a game. The 57-yarder obviously did.

Only 50 yarders (1/1) and 1-19 (1/1) actually surpass the XP, but he was a solid 7/9 from 40-49, and went 5/6 from 30-39 including that BS miss against Minnesota.
Like I said before during the season....he had a tendency to push his XPs hard to the right just like the miss yesterday. I don't know if that was from being distracted by the defense constantly leaping over our middle guys on the PAT tries or if he just kicks so hard that it's a flaw in his close range form.
BTW while we're on the subject Iowa should look into changing their blocking schemes (new this year) for PATs. Almost every time the guys near center would jump right over our blockers because we would squat low and sit there watching those guys hop over us. I am surprised we only had one or two blocked XPs this year.

And, according to many, Hawkeye coaches would continue to trot Lucy Van Pelt out there time and time again!This guy has missed more…
I liked to joke and say we should take a couple false starts on each PAT .
That said he'll be missed. Hard not to appreciate him when you see "top notch" college (and even the occasional nfl) teams afraid to kick a 35-40 yarder.

.I actually think if the number is 6, he is correct...most ever missed by one player in a season. So calling him
a DBag is off base...and classless, I might add,
He wasn't Kaeding or Schlicher, but Iowa could have been a lot worse off than having a guy whose missed kicks didn't cost them a game this year
