STARTING ON THE LEFT FOOT
Date: 1998 Season
One of the greatest special teams players in program history, lefty kicker Sebastian Janikowski won his first of two Lou Groza Awards in 1998. That season, Janikowski went 27-of-32 in field goals, including a long of 53 yards, and 42-of-43 on extra points. The sophomore PK also set a then-ACC record with 123 kicking points in a season. Janikowski, a former high school soccer player known for his big leg, became the first Seminole to win the Lou Groza.
