Virginia kicker Brendan Farrell talks about his game-winning field goal over Old Dominion.

Transcript

00:00Three minutes left in the game, I thought, there's a lot that can happen still.

00:03So stay in the game, stay focused, and we made it happen at the end.

00:06We had a great offensive drive there, crushed teams as well.

00:10Damik made a great kickoff return there, so he set us up to execute at the end.

00:14Were you expecting them to call a timeout before you kicked?

00:17I was, yeah.

00:18We played before, I think it was 12 seconds left.

00:20So I knew we had one left, and we were gonna use it.

00:22When you miss one earlier and then get another, does that make it extra special?

00:28It's a relief, yeah, for sure.

00:30But look, you gotta stay ready.

00:32And there was a lot happening in the last few minutes of that game.

00:34So you gotta be ready to execute.

00:36How does it feel to have your team have confidence in you to center the ball like

00:40that with a kick?

00:41It's great, yeah.

00:42I looked at the offense today, they had 500 plus yards, I think.

00:46So they were able to execute.

00:48And I went out there and had the belief of the coaches to go out again and

00:51do my job.

00:52It's great, and it makes me feel good and excited for next week as well.

00:56Are you kind of watching their progress to see where they're gonna get you?

00:59Are you warming up, or what are you doing?

01:02I would say more so the clock.

01:03The number of timeouts we have and how much clock is left, for sure, yeah.

01:07How good did it feel to see the kick go through?

01:09I mean, obviously after the guys won.

01:10It was good.

01:11I have a thing where statistically, my percentage is above 50, right?

01:16So I think I'm more likely to make it than miss it after a miss.

01:19So that helped me out a little bit, but look, it's all process oriented.

01:23So go through your process again, stay locked in.

01:25I was able to do that, and myself, Aiden, and Jerry were able to get it done.

01:29What kind of relief does that give you?

01:33Not gonna lie, it feels a lot better now, but yeah, it's very, very good.
