Florida State kicker Ryan Fitzgerald understood his assignment playing in Dublin, Ireland.
After launching a massive 59-yard field goal through the uprights on Saturday, Fitzgerald celebrated with the billionaire strut first demonstrated by disgraced former WWE owner Vince McMahon but then infamously co-opted by Irish superstar Conor McGregor.
Fitzgerald hit the booming kick and turned to celebrate with his teammates, who were equally excited after he tied the game 14-14 at the end of the first half.
The 59-yard field goal was the longest of Fitzgerald’s career and the second-longest in Florida State history.
Unfortunately, Fitzgerald’s heroics came in a losing effort, as unranked Georgia Tech knocked off Florida State in the opening college football game of the season.
Prior to the loss, Florida State was ranked No. 10 but that number will definitely change after Georgia Tech pulled off the upset with a final score of 24-21.
Still, Fitzgerald put on a show to remember in front of the Dublin faithful watching at Aviva Stadium.
