VIDEO: Colorado kicker boots 56-yard field goal for playoff win

We're guessing Collin Root will now be referred to in the halls at Ralston Valley (Arvada, Colo.) as Collin Boot - with a capital B.

Root booted a 56-yard field goal as time expired Friday night, to give the Mustangs a 44-43 victory against Eaglecrest (Aurora) in the second round of the Class 5A state playoffs.

The undefeated Mustangs (11-0) will take on Fairview (Boulder, Colo.) in the quarterfinals. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Root, who also excels as a tight end and defensive end for Ralston Valley, told Neil Devlin of The Denver Post that "during warm-ups, I was pushing it left."

As you can see from the video, Root's effort had plenty of height and distance and cleared the uprights as the game clock hit 0:00.0.
