After setting Murray State and Ohio Valley Conference records in the Racers 38-37 victory over #15 Tennessee Tech, kicker Kienan Cullen was named the adidas OVC Specialist of the Week, the league office announced Sunday.
Cullen (Louisville, Ky.) tied the MSU scoring record when he kicked his first extra point in the first quarter. After recovering his own onside kick, Cullen took the record all to himself when he converted his second extra point at the end of the possession. He now has 270 career points, breaking the old record of 263 points held by Paul Hickert. Cullen also ranks ninth on the all-time OVC scoring list.
He was successful on all five extra-point attempts, marking the first time all season the Racers have converted all of their attempts.
Cullen also made history in the second quarter as he connected on a 33-yard field goal. The field goal was the 53rd of his career, breaking the tie with Kelly Potter (Middle Tennessee, 1981-84) for the all-time OVC record. He is 10-for-11 on field goals this season, with his only miss being blocked.
In his career, Cullen is 53-for-71 on field goals, with a long of 48. He has made at least 10 field goals in all four seasons, including a career-high 15 field goals in 2010.
The senior also averaged 41.5 yards on four punts, including downing both of his second-half punts inside the 15-yard line.
