Last season our QB completely lost his voice two days before the last game of the season against our biggest rival. We had not beat this team in six years so as you could imagine, it was already a little bit tense!
Most teams may just put in the back up and go from there, but with the back up kid we had, this just wasn't even an option. Only other solution.......have the FB call the cadence......so we did. We are a double wing team so our FB is up tight behind the QB making this possible. Needless to say it worked! No problems at all, timing was just fine. We went on to win that night even though our two starting wings, and TE were all out injured, not to mention the QB situation.
When it comes to battling adversity, this game would definitely be at the top of my chart. Just when you think nothing else can go wrong, it does, yet you find a way to beat the odds just the same. This is the kind of stuff that makes me love coaching this game!
