College Football Longest Field Goal

What was the longest drop-kick for a field goal in American Football, college or pro ?

I read once that it was 80 yards, but cannot verify that.

A drop kicked field goal the only recorded record was: 45 yards by Wilbur "Pete" Henry

Later on the ball was made more pointed so drop kicks were nearly eliminated for field goals. This improved the passing game.

The longest recorded kick with a 2" tee was 72 yards
