Fifteen-year-old Garrett Gilbert has some big shoes to fill. This season, he'll replace the star quarterback on his high school football team, the Lake Travis Cavaliers. On top of that, Garrett's dad, Gale Gilbert, took his team to the Super Bowl five times (although he never scored a Bowl victory). So with his coach's eyes and dad's eyes locked on his every pass and play, Garrett is feeling the intense pressure of the game. Weekend America's Michael May watches him play.
Then...
... Bob Moon talks with Jerry Kramer, the legendary Green Bay Packers lineman. Kramer is the author of the best selling football book "Instant Replay," which chronicles the 1967 season that ended with a Packer Super Bowl victory.
