Coach Hayden Fry needs a talented quarterback to right the ship. Unexpectedly, he signs a lightly recruited QB from run-dominated Wheaton (Illinois) North High and proclaims him \"destined for greatness\" before even taking a snap. After getting bruised, battered and benched in a 42-7 drubbing by Nebraska in his first start, Chuck Long proves his coach prophetic by throwing for more yards than any other quarterback in Big Ten history, finishing runner-up for the Heisman to a kid named Bo and hearing his name called as the 12\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e overall pick in the '86 NFL Draft. And that's just for starters. Sound too good to be true? Not if your destined for greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 398\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 27, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51815186366752,"sku":"9780996521369","price":43.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/42e107ee5ba2bd35a1a35cfdd63288a7.webp?v=1781072711","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/chuck-long-destined-for-greatness-the-story-of-chuck-long-and-resurgence-of-iowa-hawkeyes-football-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
