Matt Hudson on the quarterback sneak

Monon Bell…2009…fourth down…Wabash on their own 18 yard line…DePauw offense looking unstoppable…

I don’t think we had a quarterback sneak in our playbook…

Matt Hudson, our quarterback, made his case for keeping the ball.  He finished his plea to Coach Raeburn with words similar to “Coach, I won’t let you down.”  And he didn’t…First Down!

Wabash goes on to win…

After watching the conversation on the sidelines (but not hearing it) I knew something was up.  So, rather than move to a better angle, I decided to stay close to the line of scrimmage.  I’d rather be lucky than good, any day…)

Matt was simply not going to be denied…and his O-line was going to make it work.

That one hung in my office for a long time and now resides at home.  A special play on a special day…by a gifted and talented young man.

Keeper…
