As players exited the field following the University of Texas’s thrilling overtime victory over Arizona State University in the College Football Playoffs, Texas freshman Nick Sanders approached ASU’s star senior Cam Skattebo and asked if he could pray for him. 

Skattebo immediately understood the request, and the two clasped hands and took a knee together, their heads bowed on one another’s shoulders. With expressions of repose on their faces, the men spoke to the Lord from their hearts without a hint of self-consciousness before the crush of cameras. And when they were finished, they hugged and went their separate ways.
