Football. Finding Hope at Christmas

When a linebacker went down with an injury during the first scrimmage of spring practice in Athens in 1958, Frank Orgel stepped up.

He had something to prove to legendary Georgia Coach Wally Butts.

So Orgel did the only thing he knew to do when Butts snatched the whistle out of his mouth and barked at the team.

"I need another player!" Butts yelled.

Everyone just stood there. Except for Orgel.

Frank had been moved from running back to tight end, a position that would not have been his first choice.
