Winning a rivalry game can cement a legacy. These games can also create legends. What happens during a college football rivalry lives on as some of the most iconic moments in the sport.
Sometimes it's a backup QB who must save the day. Sometimes it's an unheralded player who saves his biggest performance for his team's most-hated opponent. Sometimes it's a player who absolutely owned a rival.
From the Iron Bowl to the Territorial Cup to Michigan-Ohio State, each rivalry has "that guy." He'll get random autograph requests. He'll never buy a meal in his college town.
