Xavier Beitia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xavier Beitia (born 1982-11-23) is a former placekicker for the Florida State University football team. Before attending FSU, Beitia attended Jesuit High School of Tampa in Tampa, Florida and kicked for the legendary Domanic Ciao. While in high school, he participated in the first ever U.S. Army All-American Bowl game in 2000. He is now a rookie kicker for the Arena Football League's Georgia Force.
At FSU, Beitia was well known for having missed a potential game-winning field goal against the archrival University of Miami Hurricanes to the left as time expired in 2002, in what would continue the bizzare "Wide Right" saga. Beitia's miss at the Miami Orange Bowl was dubbed "Wide Left I."
More than one year later, Beitia missed another field goal in the 2004 Orange Bowl which would have given the Noles the lead with about five minutes left. The Miami Hurricanes went on to win that game, 16-14.
