Alex Trlica (born August 11, 1984) is a former American football placekicker for the Texas Tech Red Raiders football team.[1]
As of January 9, 2007, Trlica held the NCAA record for successful point after tries. During his college career, he made 233 consecutive PATs without a miss. This, along with his field goals, put him among the nation's top all-time leading scorers for kickers and number two on Tech's all-time scoring list.[2]
A Trlica 52 yard field goal tied the 2006 Insight Bowl sending it into overtime and resulting in an eventual record-setting victory for the Red Raiders. The following season, it was Trlica's 41-yard field goal that capped-off a come-from-behind win in the 2008 Gator Bowl.
