I don't think Newman ever made a clutch kick at Wake. I disagree that 95% of college kickers never make a clutch kick.
Went through all 2009-2012 games and looked for ones decided by a TD or less. Here are the ones in which Jimmy kicked a field goal latish in the 4th quarter or in OT:
28-27 loss to Miami, missed a 60 yd field goal as time expired:

30-27 loss to GT, made a 34 yd field goal in OT, GT scored a TD in its OT try:

24-20 loss to GT, made a 28 yd field goal to take the lead with 2:25 to go, GT scored a TD to win:

24-17 loss to ND, missed a 42 yd field goal with 5:30 to go, ND already held a TD lead:

31-28 loss to Clemson, missed a 32 yd field goal with 9 to go, Clemson scored a TD to tie it and then a field goal to win it:

23-17 loss to Mississippi State, made a 46 yd field goal with 3:30 to go, brought score within a TD, Mississippi State gave the ball back with 2:15 to go (Wake gained a total of 3 yds on that possession):

So that's 3-3 in "clutch" situations..the misses:
Miami: only time Newman could have won a game with a kick. He would have set the 2009 long for all of FBS football. Can't count this against him.
ND: field goal wasn't going to make a lick of difference and everyone in that stadium other than Grobe knew it. ND had been running at will on us that entire half.
Clemson: field goal would have resulted in the game going to OT..but at the time we were ahead by a TD with almost 2/3 of the 4th to go so not a true clutch situation. This loss goes to Lobo and Grobe for a complete failure to adjust to Clemson's second half defensive adjustments.
