In Georgia State’s 21-13 win on Thursday night, South Alabama kicker Gavin Patterson attempted a 46-yard field goal that bounced off every part of the goal post.

Patterson’s field goal attempt first hit the left upright, then the crossbar twice before bouncing in for three-points.

Patterson was 2-for-3 on field goals and 1-for-1 on extra points against Georgia State.
