To Big 10: A Personal Narrative Of A Football Team

So I did and got the tackle and we were all pumped. We lined up for defense and since I was a right side linebacker I was told to make sure the running back did not get past me when they snapped the ball I watched and waited. He went left and I had to wait and watch for a reverse and by time I saw there was no reverse our left side linebacker had already tackled the running back. Next play same thing happened then on third down and four yards to go they went right and I was the first one to hit the running back and as I was tackling him our cornerback came up and hit him as well since the ball was wet from rain the running back fumbled and our corner jumped on the ball and it was our ball on the opposite twenty-four yard line. We lined up for offense and I lined up behind the quarterback and was ready to receive the handoff and i got excellent blocking and I ran the ball in to the end zone 8-0 us. Then we ran a quarterback sneak and scored for the two point conversion. The rest of the first quarter was spent alternating between offense and defense. They would get the ball and fumbled, punt it away, turn it over on downs. Then we would get the ball and have to punt it or fumble or turn it over on downs. The first of four eight minute quarters ended with the score still

It was so close we could almost taste it. The undefeated season, the holy grail of the NFL, seemed to be a sure thing. Here the Patriots were in Super Bowl 42. They had the chance to achieve a 19-0 season. Something no team had ever done before. I stood in my living room. Surrounded by friends and family watching the ongoing battle. I could feel the joy radiating from those around me. Victory was near. The Giants stood in their territory just a few downs from their ultimate demise. The Patriots defense had been stout the entire game, and so surely they would be able to hold the Giants now, when they needed to the most. Eli Manning took the snap, and the Patriots defense pounced. They had him by the jersey, all they needed was to finish the

The 11-play,65-yard drive ended with a 2-yard touchdown run by, Chapman. The point after kick by,Nathan Liesen was good, making this a,20-7 game, with 43.6 left in the half.

Into the third quarter, Linebacker Lang Evans came up with the biggest play of the game, an interception leaving Turpin at the Redskin six yard line. On the next snap, Turpin’s Nathan Hooper scores a 6 yd run touchdown, breaking the tie. With a successful Turpin field goal from kicker Harry Sand and unsuccessful kick from Anderson, 3rd quarter ended in 31-21.

Facing a 4th and five with 4:47 left in the third quarter,the Indians elected to go for it. Jack Beeler was sacked for an 12-yard loss by #8 Marcus Jones. The Cougars carried that momentum with them on the ensuing drive. It tool 8-plays to cover the 49-yards for the score, with the score coming in the shape of a 4-yard run from Bailey. The point after kick locked this one up once again, at 14 apiece with 1:22 left in the quarter.

I went to see a great game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers. First they started to flip the coin when Packers called tails and it landed on tails and they chose to receive. The Dallas kicked and Packers gained 19 yards. Then they lost 5 yards or -5 because they got tackled behind the line of scrimmage and its now 2nd and 15. The Packers threw the ball 10 yards and they caught the ball and gained 12 and now have a first down. 1st quarter was over and Green lost 18 yards or -18. Green Bay threw the ball and Dallas intercepted the ball picking up 12 yards before being tackled.

We were all very upset. The first play they tried to throw the ball and we patted the ball down. Next they just tried to run the ball. We kept stopping them in the back field. It was fourth down and they were going to punt the ball. Logan and I went to the very right side of the line. When the kicker said, “hutt,” we all went to try and block the punt. Logan and I got through the blocks and blocked the punt. I was looking for the ball and realized that we were in the end zone. I saw the ball, I jumped for it and charlie was already on it. It was a touchdown. Everyone was so

21 to 21 with 1:01 left on the clock. I went from glancing at the clock to returning my attention to the huddle. Looking around the huddle I saw all of my teammates that I admired most. Cole Garrett, Alex Koplin, Connor Collins, Nathan Puckett. All of their faces seemed tired, soaked in

Not on the outside, but on the inside. Now, I was determined that I wanted to win, no matter what the pain was. After all, no pain, no gain! I went back on the field and went off. I caught every single ball that was even thrown even in my direction, and later I found out that if I could get two fingers on the ball, it was as good as caught. The coach kept me in the rest of the game, and I realized that I was in the zone. I didn’t hear any of the trash-talking the other players did, I didn’t hear the fans, I didn’t even twist and turn and juke out the defenders, my body did for me automatically. I didn’t feel any of the pain, I did not realize that I scored so many touchdowns, I was pure adrenaline. Before I knew it, the score was 49-56 Montgomery, the fourth quarter, there were only 50 seconds left on the clock, we were at our own 20-yard line, and we had no timeouts remaining at all. This was the real test, to see if we deserved to be the champions. One touchdown, 6 points would reduce the loss by one, and the extra point would tie the game. But, if we went for the two-point conversion, then the game would be over, one way or

"We just got to know their is a to more football to be played," senior safety Jarrod Harper said. "One loss isn't going to dictate our season, what this season has in store for us. We just got to regroup and come back this week and have a strong performance this week. Just be focused and locked in all week. Just get even more familiar with our opponent this week and come ready to play Saturday."

Boise State's ball first and ten Cozark snaps the ball pass incomplete, now it is second down and ten Cozark passes the ball and first down Boise State. Cozark hands it off and Hercules Mata’afa gets a tackle for loss. Second down and ten i'm watching Boise State on offence and us on defence hoping boise state does not get a touchdown. Then we get the ball back after a stop. First down incomplete, second down incomplete,third down incomplete. When we punt Kyle Sweet kicks it off and the ball flying in the air I am getting blocked and the player that was getting blocked by got hit by the ball and the cougs get the ball back with not very much time left. Then tyler hilinski hikes it, incomplete, second down he throws the ball deep to the endzone for the freshman jamire calvin and he catches it for a touchdown cougars with one minute left martin stadium goes electric. Boise state just knees the ball until overtime. I win the toss again and win and select to defer. Boise state first play run up the middle, second down incomplete, third down pass complete for six yards. Boise State kicks the field goal and its good, thirty four to thirty in OT. Our first offense possession we need a field goal to tie touchdown to win. We end up going

Finally the game started Chuck got the ball and got a 25 yard play.Chuck looked tall and mighty. He was reading to get the ball again but the had a pass play. The pass got intercepted and Chuck hit the corner with the ball so hard the ball flew out and Chuck grabbed it and ran it back 45 yard to the touchdown! The crowd was crazy Chuck loved it. They other team scored a couple times and the panthers only scored 1 more time ,so it was the 4th quarter the score was 21 to 14 Cardinals. They handed Chuck the ball Chuck raced down the field and broke 1, 2, and 3 tackles and was down at the 20 yard line with 10 seconds left the Panthers called a timeout. The Panthers called the play it was a screen pass to Chuck ”Hike” Screamed the QB he threw it to Chuck and he was off like a jet.He weaved and juked, then he got hit hard but somehow stayed up the announcer announced “He might do it”. And then he jumped over a Cardinal player for a touchdown. But the game was not over yet they wanted to go for the 2 point conversion to win the game. So they did a hand off right to Chuck and the Cardinals had no chance when Chuck sprinted outside and juked out a Cardinal for the 2 point conversion to win the game for the

The team was ready, we had been working extremely hard for the past seven months for this. We were all in great shape and very rested. A few of the returning players were meeting me at my house to carpool to the final game of the state championship tournament. Everyone knew that the hard work had paid off when we won the semi-final game the preceding day.
