Nick Rice and Jarod Brown, the greatest placekickers in Old Dominion football history, are good friends and will remain so even though Rice will soon surpass Brown as ODU's all-time field goal leader.
ODU plays at Liberty University on Saturday night with Rice needing one more field goal to surpass Brown's record of 49.
Brown played at ODU from 2010 through 2013 and was one of the nation's best kickers. Rice tied his record by making all five of his field goal attempts so far this season.
Brown was in the stands Saturday when Rice kicked a career-high four field goals during a 47-7 victory over Hampton.
