The ball was placed on the 1 yard line and we had to go all the way to the other end zone. The coach called some plays and they were all runs. It came to fourth down and 10 to go to get a first down and we had to go 40 yards to score a touchdown. The coach called a run play, and in my head it did not make any sense, so I changed the play to a pass play. I said “Red, Set, Go" and we ran the pass play, the coaches were “Screaming that’s not the play!” I ignored what they were saying and continue the play. I waggled away and saw Zach McCammon covered. The right read would have been to keep the ball and run, however I decided to throw and "threaded the needle" to Zach. We completed the pass and I scored a touchdown. The coaches were surprised and a little bit mad that I changed the play call. Coach Puglio said, “That takes guts kid, I like that in you.” That comment to me made my day and change my life forever. Later in the month of August, we learned that there will no longer be a freshman football team. The freshman team was bumped up to Varsity and Junior Varsity. I had no clue I was going to end up starting a varsity game. We had a couple of weeks before our first game and I was going to start
