Wondering if that's the longest Michigan State field goal OFF THE GROUND in program history. I know Morten Andersen hit from 60-plus, but that was with the little stage tees that were legal back then.

Jonathan Kim's 58-yard FG is fourth-longest in MSU history and the longest by an MSU kicker since Ralf Mojsiejenko's 59-yarder in 1983. Also a Kinnick Stadium record.
MSU record is 63 by Morten Anderson in 1981. Mojsiejenko also had a 61-yarder in 1982.
