Capece attended Florida State University, where he graduated as the holder of FSU's records for single-season scoring (104 points), most field goals in a game (five, against Pittsburgh), and field goal percentage (100%).
[1][2][3] Capece missed a field goal and an extra point in a 1983 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the 1983 home finale, and was told to stay home for the season’s final game in Detroit.
After that game, a 23-20 loss, coach John McKay made his famous announcement that "Capece is kaput".
[4] Capece returned as the team's placekicker the following season, but was waived following a poor performance in a preseason game against the Dolphins.
[5] His 41 field goals stood as the Buccaneers' career record until broken in 1987 by Donald Igwebuike.
