2012 College Field Goal Attempts Leaders
Attempts count every field goal try, made, missed or blocked. A high number usually means a kicker's offense moved the ball into range often and a coach trusted his leg.
Attempts are not skill by themselves, but they show how much of his team's scoring depends on him. In 2012, Quinn Sharp (31) led college football kickers in field goal attempts, ahead of Kyle Brindza (31) and Dan Conroy (31). 175 kickers qualify.
