Kicker Andre Heidari continues history of success against Stanford
- Share via
USC kicker Andre Heidari probably wouldn’t mind playing Stanford one more time.
The senior, who kicked another game-winning field goal against the Cardinal on Saturday, has made all six of his field-goal attempts against Stanford.
Heidari made field goals from 25 and 50 yards in 2011, when Stanford defeated the Trojans, 56-48, in triple overtime at the Coliseum.
A knee injury sidelined Heidari for USC’s 21-14 loss at Stanford.
In 2013, he converted a first-half kick from 23 yards before coming on to boot a 47-yarder with 19 seconds left to give the Trojans a 20-17 upset at the Coliseum.
On Saturday, Heidari made a 25-yard field goal late in the third quarter to tie the score, 10-10.
Asked if he harkened to last season and was thinking, ‘Here we go again,’ as the Trojans drove into field-goal range in the fourth quarter, Heidari said, “Absolutely.”
With 2 minutes, 30 seconds left, he kicked a career-long 53-yarder to put the Trojans ahead.
