Fridge's last-minute advice

So what exactly did Fridge tell Obi Egekeze moments before sending him out for last week's game-winning kick against N.C. State?

I asked Obi.

"He's like, 'Obi, you realize within the course of your time here you maybe have kicked 200 of them?' Egekeze said.

"I was like, 'You know what, you’re right.' "

The kick was basically at extra-point length.

Few people in the stadium besides Egekeze knew he had special confidence about bad-weather kicks.

"My career long is 54 in the rain (in high school). That definitely gave me confidence about the ability to kick in the rain," Egekeze said.
