ESPN Revisits the 1990 National Championship Season
From time to time, national outlets revisit historic college football seasons that continue to shape how the game is remembered and discussed. Most recently, ESPN published a long-form feature revisiting the 1990 national championship season — a year that remains unique in college football history.
I was interviewed extensively for this piece by Andrea Adelson, sharing perspective from inside that season as Georgia Tech’s kicker. The article explores not just the results, but the context surrounding the split championship, the weekly pressure of competing at the highest level, and how individual moments — often measured in seconds — can carry lasting weight.
