Odell Beckham Returned a Missed Field Goal 100 Yards for a Touchdown [UPDATE]
By Michael Shamburger
Odell Beckham, the LSU wideout that made the one-handed kickoff catch earlier, added to his spectacular night by returning a missed 59-yard field goal 100 yards for a touchdown. Beckham has 321 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns.
Update: The NCAA has created a new category after Beckham’s field goal return. The yards will now be counted under a miscellaneous yards category.
The missed FG return by Beckham has created a new NCAA stat category on all-purpose yds in stats - Miscellaneous Yards. #LSUWIN

We believe the only other time that this has occurred in FBS history was in 1966 when Don Guest returned a missed field 100 yards in the Cal-Washington State game.
*If you know of another 100-yard field goal returned for a touchdown in Division 1 (FBS) history, let us know.
