Jack Lengyel : When you take that field today, you've got to lay that heart on the line, men.
From the souls of your feet, with every ounce of blood you've got in your body, lay it on the line until the final whistle blows. And if you do that, if you do that, we cannot lose.
We may be behind on the scoreboard at the end of the game but if you play like that we cannot be defeated. Now we came here today to remember six young men and sixty-nine others who will not be on the field with you today, but they will be watching.
You can bet your ass that they'll be gritting their teeth with every snap of that football. You understand me? How you play today, from this moment on is how you will be remembered. This is your opportunity to rise from these ashes and grab glory. We are Jack Lengyel : We are.

Storyline Edit. In November, , virtually the entire football team and coaches of Marshall University Huntington, W. That spring, led by Nate Ruffin, a player who was ill and missed the fatal flight, students rally to convince the board of governors to play the season.
The college president, Don Dedman, must find a coach, who then must find players. They petition the NCAA to allow freshmen to play, and coach Jack Lengyel motivates and leads young players at the same time that he reexamines the Lombardi creed that winning is the only thing.
As a year-old newlywed senior cheerleader at Marshall, she read the news of the crash on the crawl at the bottom of a television screen. Suddenly, then-Lucianne Kautz was without a father. Charlie Kautz was Marshall's athletic director in The decision had already been made regarding cheerleaders for that trip.
There was room for only a few of them on the plane to Kinston, North Carolina. East Carolina is located nearby in Greenville. Normally in that situation, the cheerleaders would draw straws to see who went. This time, they decided if all couldn't go, none of them could go. They stayed in Marshall for a fundraising event. Charlie Kautz had lived long enough to give away Lucianne at her wedding only five months earlier. He went to work one day and didn't come home. That begins to describe some of that enduring guilt.
There are so many stories of folks who either got a spot on the plane at the last minute or were bumped off. There were injured players who stayed behind. Pure chance, some cases. Mary Jane Tolley didn't go because the local veterinarian recommended she stay because the couple's dog was sick. Rick Tolley had helped him with the plane ticket to get back home. In the days before instant news, the fog of tragedy took time to lift. Carter read his own obituary the next day in the local newspaper.
Her flight made it safely back to that same Tri-State Airport the Marshall plane never reached. When police needed a list of those on the plane, they came to the Kautzes' home.
Charlie had given his wife a manifest before he left. Carter maintains he was spared because of God's providence. At age 69, the former Marshall defender calls himself a "traveling preacher. He has traveled internationally and led huge congregations. Carter wants everyone to know God chose him to survive for that purpose. Three-and-a-half years after the crash in , Carter was working with Carl Hewlett, a former Marshall pitcher.
Carter can't recall how a Marshall assistant found his film in the late s. Wichita Falls is 1, miles from Huntington. The college town agreed with him. Things were going swimmingly two weeks before the East Carolina game. Tolley gladly gave Carter time off -- even bought him the plane ticket -- to travel back to bury his father. When it came time to return, Carter's mother Sarah urged him to stay at home. In fact, it was stronger than that.
She feared for his safety. It was an impression he put in her heart. To be honest, when she told me, I didn't believe her because we had never had a plane trip. The Lord watched over me so that he could save me and put me in the ministry to serve him.
After the crash, Carter took a bus back to West Virginia. The trip took 20 hours. He returned to find a city, a university and a program in despair.
Carter hardly knew anyone on the team who carried on. Most of his teammates were gone, forever. They even won a couple of games. The return became the subject of the film, "We Are Marshall". God's providence? Two weeks before the release of the movie, Call was diagnosed with colon cancer. She went to the premiere in a wheelchair prior to her first chemotherapy treatment. On the 50th anniversary, they're both still around. Carter will be thinking about "thanking the Lord for his grace and mercy, watching over me and sparing my life.
Edwards Stadium. The Hokies were in town to play the Herd. Frank Loria was one of Beamer's best friends. The two played in the same defensive backfield for Virginia Tech in the late s.
Loria became Marshall's defensive backs coach in Beamer was at his wife-to-be's home that November night. Loria had been a two-time All-American at Virginia Tech. When he passed, Loria's wife was pregnant with Frank Loria Jr. Beamer guided the buses to the memorial. He wanted them to learn about the Frank Loria he admired so much. Football made sense to him.
Beamer had brought a special Hokie Stone inscribed with Loria's name. Hokie Stone is the native Virginia limestone that makes up many of the buildings on the Virginia Tech campus. He said, 'What the hell is going on with Virginia Tech? Frank got the whole team out and they went up and placed that Hokie Stone on the memorial. He was taken away way too soon. The dog's name was Sturmisch. That's German for "stormy. The Tolleys loved their German Shepherd.
That's why, when a vet recommended Mary Jane stay home that weekend of Nov. She would just listen to the game on the radio. We didn't have children, so she was like a child. After the plane crash, she became the only thing that I had.
Her recollections of the crash's aftermath are split. Of course, she misses her husband.
