Sarah Fuller's impact goes beyond a historic kick (or two) in a college football game

College football Saturdays in the middle of a pandemic have tended to all run together, but the morning started differently last weekend.

Over breakfast, I told my two daughters that Sarah Fuller had a chance to make history at Vanderbilt. I did not have to explain why. Their eyes went wide.

In between bites of her French toast, my 9-year-old daughter started chanting, "I want to see HERstory!"

I did, too.

In a different year, in a different time, in a different house, I sat with my dad on the couch to watch football on Saturdays, desperately wishing I could put on a jersey and shoulder pads and play quarterback just like the players I watched on television.
