Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In football, the opportunity cost would represent the number of yards which could be attained on any play if the correct play was chosen and if the teams were of equal quality-essentially what the offense can expect to get and what the defense can expect to give up.

Detailed explanation-2: -The opportunity cost of a choice is the value of the best alternative given up. Scarcity is the condition of not being able to have all of the goods and services one wants. It exists because human wants for goods and services exceed the quantity of goods and services that can be produced using all available resources.
