Auburn's impeccable timing beat its NCAA-record kicking on Saturday. Not long after setting the FBS record for the most consecutive made extra points with 303 -- and naturally celebrating it on Twitter with an emoji and exclamation point -- Auburn missed the following PAT. "We're a kicking school," one fan tweeted before retracting it later with, "I take this back." Auburn kicker Anders Carlson set the PAT record with 4:19 left in the third quarter. The school's streak had begun in 2013 and ended with 11:54 left in the fourth quarter. Auburn quarterback Bo Nix completed a 15-yard touchdown pass to Seth Williams to put the Tigers ahead of Arkansas 37-10, but Carlson missed the extra point attempt. "Should've knocked on wood," another fan tweeted. Auburn would make its last two PATs in a 51-10 win.
