From Game Changers The other guys trying out for quarterback had made some good plays tonight. And some great throws. Just not like this one. Not off the kind of busted play that Ben had turned into pure money. It was why Ben couldn't help himself now, had to steal a look over at Coach, see what his reaction was. Only there wasn't one. Coach O'Brien was over on the sideline, back turned, showing Shawn the proper way to pivot away from center and make the handoff he'd messed up earlier. Coop saw where Ben was looking. "He didn't see," Coop said. "They never do," Ben said. Excerpted from Game Changers by Mike Lupica All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
