| Summary |
Everyone loves an underdog story. The tale of an unlikely hero overcoming incredible odds to achieve success is dramatic and entertaining. In football, a classic underdog tale is when the starter on a team is replaced by a bench player. One of the most nerve-racking and yet exciting times in football is when your team’s quarterback, the center and focal point of the offense, is unable to play, and the fate of the entire team falls into the hands of a substitute player. Often, the hopes of success are bleak but taste of victory is just a little bit sweeter. In Eustace Williams’s 1900 novel “The Substitute Quarterback,” readers will be taken back to an early era in football history before the rules had evolved into today’s sport. The players at Belle Monte have a difficult road ahead of them, and with a new quarterback, their fate is uncertain. This unique and entertaining tale of the early days of football is a glimpse into a young version of today’s popular sport. |
