I knew we had something when I let people read the script. We had people who were sports fans and not sports fans. We had men. We had women. We had young. We had old. We had people of different races and of different sexual orientations and everyone cried. Not just one or two -- everyone. These are people who didn't know anything about Marshall, who didn't know anything about football. They were just so swept up in the story that they just cried.
