Related Topics: Field goal, Conference USA

Throughout the summer ODUSports.com will talk to coaches and student-athletes to get to know them better. Today's Q&A is with sophomore kicker, Chris Kirtley. Kirtley took over kicking duties nearly midway through last season and connected on 10-of-13 field goals.

Q: You took over the place-kicking duties after four games last season. What do you think made you earn that spot?
A: It’s kind of a long story, actually. Coming out of a high school I wasn’t recruited very heavily. One day I got a phone call from ODU and they wanted a freshman to come in and compete.
