Like Lucy, Payton keeps promising Estime the football. Like Lucy, Sunshine Sean keeps pulling the rock away at the last minute.
“We knew we wanted two-thirds of the game to get to Blake (Watson) and Audric, and I think we were able to accomplish that,” Payton said after the Broncos stomped Arizona, 27-7, in the Backup Bowl on Saturday at Empower Field.
“It’s not an exact science. But those guys got a lot of work. I thought they did a good job with their opportunities.”
In the third quarter, Estime carried the rock just twice, netting minus-1 yard.
