...that. At a press conference at the start of the season, a local writer asked Rose what an average day was like for him. There was class, and there were meals, but the day began and often ended with hours of watching game tape in addition to regular practices. Chalk some of this up to Murphy’s offense, one of the few in college football that allows quarterbacks to freely alter protection schemes from the line of scrimmage.

The hounds or "harriers," would set off soon after, in hopes of "capturing" the hare before he finished the trail. The reward at the end of the run, whether or not the hare was caught, was cold beer for all. The group would start out from...
