Use your imagination and consider the situation as it developed in the U. of Kentucky and U. of Georgia football game as few years ago. Time was running out. Kentucky was leading, but Georgia had the ball as the final seconds ticked away. Georgia was in field goal distance for the accurate toe of their All-American kicker Rex Robinson. This is the story as Coach Dooley told it. There was barely enough time to get set for the kick as he counted the Georgia players on the field and was shocked to find they only had 10. Hurriedly, he looked around and found standing right next to him one of his best and biggest linemen who was supposed to be in the game. If the kick was successful, Georgia would be penalized for not having enough men on the field. Georgia was out of time outs. If the coach called one, they would also be penalized. Either way, they would be penalized; and a penalty would put them out of field goal range. Coach Dooley said he thought in all his years of coaching he had heard every excuse but not the one he got when he said to his lineman, "Timmy, what are you doing?" The answer, "I am praying coach!" Looking out on the field Coach Dooley answered, "Well your prayers have just been answered. The Kentucky coach has just called time-out to put pressure on Robinson. Now get your big self in the game." He did. The ball was set, the kick was up, and sailed through the goal for the winning field goal.
