making certain plays that end up being the difference between victory or defeat. Some time there has to be a play or plays that happen because of "doing what is right".
So, Collie's comment could have meant (my personal belief is that is exactly what he was saying ) was that at the particular time, the play worked as one of those times that "things work out" because of "doing what is right". I don't think he was saying that every play he made was ordained of God and he was on God's errand on every play.
Whit's comments and Collies are the same.
