In Friday Night Lights there is a character named Boobie Miles who is the starting running back for the team. He lead the team with the most yards last year and had college scouts looking at him every game like Texas A.M. "The pre-season scrimmage in the late August twilight had barely started when Boobie peeled off a run that gave glimpses of why college recuiters were after him."(53) this quote says how he is one of the greatest running backs in Texas but it comes before he ends up hurting his knee half way through the season.

"Boobie stood behind the other players glassy-eyed, his hands clasped."(198) Boobie thought that he wouldnt get in because he had missed over a year and had losted his starting position to the man that was behind him in the depth chart.

"They jacked me. If i dont play,I'm not gonna suit up. You know me. If i suit up, Iwant to play."(196) This was Boobies attuide to playing his first week back since he had been moved to 2nd string after he had been out for over a year.

"Durning the next week, when it became clear he was going to get a chance to play, his mood alternated."(197) Boobie Miles there star running back had just  come back from his knee injury. This was the first game in over a year that he acutaly got to play in. When he finnaly got in he didnt preform to his expetions of what the colleges wanted him to be able to do.
