David Bailiff was feeling good. In fact, he was feeling very good.
His Rice University football team had played well against North Texas and now, with the ball on the North Texas one yard line, Coach David Bailiff was going to put that ball into the hands of his star running back Darik Dillard and expect him to do what he had done moments before---run one yard to once again tie the game.
