Sanson had a hard time making the easiest of kicks, especially that flubbed PAT in 1996 that cost us a Fiesta Bowl appearance.
If anything, he had a terrible record on PAT's. Even in his best year (1998), he still shanked 5 PAT attempts. Ask him to make an easy field goal (35 yards or less), and he's shank all too many of them.
On the other hand, ask him to make a 48 yard FG into the wind, and he'd actually have the best chance of almost any kicker. If I recall correctly, that was the Army game where they were really gaining momentum, while we were fizzling out, and he did manage to make that last second field goal.

- The sad part was that kicker in 1996 was on scholarship, he was terrible his whole year. [NT]
