ARLINGTON, Texas -- The stadium bleachers there run from one end zone to the other. And if you go online to purchase a ticket, you'll find a seating chart that goes no higher than 19 rows.
This is Shepherd University in West Virginia, and before Sunday, Cole Tracy had never attempted a field goal in a larger venue than this one.
Then came Sunday, when the stage grew significantly larger.
Tracy's poise in making all four field-goal attempts, including a 54-yarder that skimmed the crossbar and bounced through at the cavernous AT&T Stadium, should provide some belief that he'll handle the raucous environs of the SEC without much trouble.
