The storied football team of Gallaudet, the nation's first university for the Deaf. Football team's joy shines during one amazing season.
WASHINGTON, DC -- Next spring marks the 150-year anniversary of a school called Gallaudet University, which became the first university in the country to focus on the Deaf.
Today, the school has more than 2,000 students. They also have a dominant and undefeated team on the football field.

Every member of the Bison football team is Deaf or Hard of Hearing, so he had to learn to sign language, and find other ways to communicate with his players.
"I've not used a whistle in five years," Goldstein said. "Our players can't hear whistles."
Gallaudet, the nation's first university for the Deaf, has a long and storied football program. The Bison invented the huddle, thought up by a quarterback in the 1890s as way to keep other players from seeing what they signed.
But the school, famous for its contribution to the game, wasn't particularly good at playing it.
Senior quarterback Todd Bonheyo said: "I think the hardest part of this season is actually believing that's real. Based on previous seasons, we've never had this type of luck or this type of winning streak. We always come up as a losing team and now we're the winning team."
This year, Gallaudet is 9-0, and in the running for the school's first men's NCAA Division Three championship.
The team only has 54 players, half the size of most in its division, but between the white lines, it only takes 11.
Senior Adham Talaat is a 6-foot-6-inch, 270-pound defensive end. He might also be the first Gallaudet player in history to make it to the NFL...
