Eberle also holds eight all-time records with the program, including his 359 points scored, 8.34 points per game, 64 made field goals, 167 extra points made and 167 extra points attempted. He is tied for first all-time in PAT percentage at 100%. His streak of 167 consecutive PATs made is also a school record.
