ALTOONA, Pa. -- If you've ever played sports at any kind of higher level, odds are you eventually became a backup at some point.
You worked your butt off in practice, hoping to either become a starter or to at least get a chance to crack the rotation and play some. When you did get that chance to play, you wanted to give it your best effort -- and so did your mom, dad and friends sitting in the stands watching you.
If there's still time left to play in a game, you wanted to make something happen -- like scoring a bucket, running for a big gain, intercepting a pass.
