While it leaves Alan confused and alienated, it also allows him to "gallop"--a visual representation of his freedom and complete independence.

A spectacular Jim Mrowka reception between three defenders on a third and eight and Bell's 17-yard gallop through the right side brought the Crimson to the Cornell 16-yard line. Lazarre-White then scrambled to the six-yard line for a first down, and Bell soon added his second touchdown of the game on a one-yard run to tie the game, 17-17, with one minute remaining in the third quarter...
