The crowd huddled atop the ramp in the southwest corner of Rice-Eccles Stadium awaiting its quarterback. Night had long settled and the temperature was dipping down further, but they stood there.
They stood for the pride of Logan High. They stood for the most-decorated passer in the history of the Pac-12 Conference. They stood for Luke Falk.
A few feet away from the metal barricades in the swarm stood Mike Favero. He saw the tall, lanky kid with an arm and an eye for pinpoint accuracy so many years ago. So before Falk shuffled up the concrete ramp to meet those there for him, his high school coach stood there, doing his absolute best to put what happened Saturday evening into words.
