OK. From experience, that is a tough injury.

Congrats to the Indians on a great season!
Too many mistakes. Not enough adjustments on offense. Stopped the run cold for the most part but could’t get enough pressure on the QB to stop the pass (IMO that’s the only way we good have stopped it with the quality of receivers they have). That’s about it. Still a great season. Number 2 spot in the state is nothing for either the team or the coaching staff to hang their heads about. Hopefully the beginning of a run like the 70s
I lived in Silsbee for seven years and got to attend two PNG games during that time. It was an amazing experience. Years later, I was in Houston when PNG played in the state final in the Dome. Loudest Dome crowd I ever heard when PNG scored in the third quarter (I think it was) to try to engineer a comeback. I was living several hours away when I brought a friend to PNG so he could experience it once.
Congrats to you guys. You represented well against a tough Dallas team.
I live in Virginia now, and amazingly ALL of the 12 state final games are on the cable system I have. Last night is the one I really wanted to see, though it would have been even better to have been there in person.
You all already know it - but you truly have something special. Heads held high!

Great effort by the Indians. Great season. They just shot themselves in the foot a few times too many. 11 points of Christmas gifts to SOC. But despite being on the short end of points, PN-G was the clear victor on a number of fronts. Proud of the PN-G Indians. Players, coaches, band, fans, and all. You showed up and played with class and gave a team supposedly dominant all they could handle, and then some. Thank you for a wonderful season.

Didn’t see the play but he hit the ground out of bounds. Did they hit him out of bounds?
It was right in front of us and I didn’t see it only saw the interception.
The first safety changed the momentum. We cannot continue with the QB on his back and receivers 30 yards down the field. We’ve got to develop a short pass game during the off-season. That safety changed the game and gave them field position the rest of game. SOC picked on the one corner all game and we never gave him help. The long pass the start of 2nd half the CB completed miss read the pass and stopped. Need to really work off coverage fundamentals during off season. We’ve got to stop chasing receivers and play the ball.
My biggest complaint about the offense all year long has been that they practically never threw short passes. Never could understand it, especially when we have receivers and backs so capable of YAC. I never noticed it before (probably because we never faced a defense as good as SOC), but an additional complaint about the offense in this game would be that it was too predictable. In the second half, it mostly consisted of two runs up the middle followed by a relatively slow developing pass on third and long.
With regard to the pass defense, there were clearly some busted assignments and we could have probably also afforded some safety help for the CBs. However, there were also situations where the coverage was pretty good and their receivers caught passes they seemed to have no business catching. It seemed like their QB did not even need to be that accurate because anything in the general vicinity of the receiver would be caught. I think the only way we could have really slowed down their passing game would be to put more pressure on the QB.
Despite all these things, I still like our chances if we don’t give them 11 points. I felt all along that we would need to play mistake free to get the W, and I think we would have probably won if we had done so.
Overall, I think we have a lot to be proud of regarding this season and not much to complain about.

i like the nguyen and the dual threat that adams brings
I had the same thought about the dropped INT over and over and over…,
Quite a bit of experience coming back on both sides. Hard to replicate the OL, however. Next man up.
Seems like he hadn’t played much receiver the last few games.
