Excerpt from episode 8:
Taj McGowan, sophomore running back on coach Ryan Held – "I know he's really grateful to be here because he's at the level he was trying to get his players to and it's just a great feeling to know that he understands what it means to come from the bottom and work your way up. He just takes that approach to everyday on the field. That's why it's so easy to bond with Coach Held because I feel like he's one of us. Like literally, he understands that you've got to work from the bottom to get to the top."
