Waseda University was trailing Ritsumeikan University 28-27 with 3 seconds remaining in the 2015 Koshien Bowl, the collegiate football national championship game.
The ball was placed on Ritsumeikan¡¯s 35 on fourth down, meaning a 52-yard field goal would give Waseda its first national title and set the new record for the longest field goal in the 70-year Koshien Bowl history.
Waseda¡¯s senior kicker Toshiki Sato felt relaxed as usual. He was smiling when getting onto the field at the most clutch moment of the season. Kanto¡¯s No. 1 kicker was confident he would come back to the sideline as the champion.
