A New Start (2 of 4)

Several years ago during the Rose Bowl Game, a boy by the name of Roy Rubbles recovered a fumble and he ran toward the wrong goal.

And the second half of the game began and soon when the team came on the field, the announcer with great surprise in his voice said, Roy Rubbles is back in the game. And pretty soon he was yelling at the top of his lungs, Roy Rubbles is carrying the ball. He is making the best-broken field run I have ever seen, breaking ...
