That was the line Friday night for McCallie tailback Jay Fullam, whose three scores led the Blue Tornado past Providence Day, 35-13, in the opening football game of the 2008 season for both teams.
Fullam, a full-time safety who comes in at tailback when McCallie reaches the red zone, had touchdown runs of 12, 7 and 25 yards.
Fullam has committed to sign a scholarship with the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Providence Day took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Gary Scott to Blake Wylie.
The Blue Tornado then put up 21 points in the second quarter on two Fullam scores and a 1-yard run by John Brock, who also kicked five points-afters.
Providence Day pulled within 21-13 in the third quarter on a 3-yard run by Terrell Tyrance.
McCallies Tyler Newman then returned an interception 15 yards for a touchdown and then Fullam scored his third touchdown.
Neither team scored in the fourth quarter.
Joey Skogen led McCallies rushers with 17 carries for 110 yards and quarterback Keenon Rush had 13 carries for 72 yards and completed 3 of 6 passes for 38 yards.
Brock added nine carries for 53 yards and John Burkus had three runs for 34 yards.
