You could tell early on that he was going to be a big part of their game plan. Not sure if it's because they were making any sort of effort to get the local kid some run in SB or what, but one of their early drives they seemed to be really trying to get him in the end zone.
Glad he was able to have such a huge game. Awesome story. Looking forward to watching a crappy Disney production about it in like 25 years.
