Away Running (2016)
“When I walked up, practice had already started. There were about forty players and a handful of coaches. Matt, the Canadian I’d met the day before, was in full gear and lined up at QB, directing the offense in shell drill. It wasn’t the Big 12; in fact, some bits were kind of slapstick. But it wasn’t all bad either.
I watched Matt take a snap and drop back, then slip out of the pocket and take off. Homey thought he could run the rock. And he was wearing number 15—a Tebow wannabe, I was willing ...to bet.
The Arab, Moussa, saw me on the sideline. He pointed me out to one of the coaches. They jogged over, Matt just behind them.
“Glad you came out,” Matt said, taking off his helmet.
He had black hair that fell to his shoulders, a ready smile. He spoke English as easily as French—his English was kind of formal though. He introduced me to the head coach, Coach Thierry, who threw out his hand for a soul handshake, like the Arab had the day before, and I was like, Tsst. Please.
But I gave it back all the same.MoreLess
