FINAL: Brenham 45, PN-G 14

[Rez]

Nederland’s proving right now that if you can run the ball and play some defense you can beat anyone. Nederland is entirely one-dimensional and they just took it to Crawford.

Brenham is region 2

It comes down to the Jimmys and Joes... Brenham is just a better team. And the team to beat in Region 3.

Yep, they have to get by SOC first.

They are in Region 2. They won’t beat SOC

We’re moving the ball on the ground. Absolutely no reason to try that pass.

Agree when in doubt launch a hell Mary in the end zone.

Thanks UIL. Can't keep up with who is where.

We got straight whipped in the 2nd half. Might have been the hardest half of football to watch in the Jospeh era, unfortunately. Defense looked like Swiss cheese and offense couldn’t block. They just bullied us on both sides of the ball in the 2nd half. Was hard to watch honestly. Hoping our kids learn from this beat down and really turn it on during district. If not we may be one and done come playoffs.

Yeah, Brenham knocked Liberty Hill out of the playoffs the last 2 years and got banished to Reg 2…sounds kinda familiar, lol!

Tip of the cap to Brenham. They were bigger at every position on the field on both sides of the ball. Watch the film, heal-up, and commit to blocking and tackling. I'll be there next week in Santa Fe rooting them on. GO PN-G INDIANS!!!

I could see PNG winning the next 6. I can see what they are trying to do, This being a new concept with many new players maybe after getting it right we will still have a good season. Playing these type of preseason game will toughen you up and show you what you have to do to be the best you can be. Season will start now against Santa Fe.

 

[IndianFan]

No doubt they’ll improve. And probably win the next 7. But I hope they remember how these losses felt. I hope no payer on the team feels overly confident about a win or performance going forward. To heck with points and yards. And forget about setting individual records. Because the bar to win against strong teams like Brenham is high. 6 weeks of actual improvement in performance and fundamental football is necessary to have a chance in the playoffs. Block, tackle, run harder, throw better, catch the ball, and don’t commit stupid penalties and mistakes. The record could have easily been 3-1 right now with more of that. Brenham was the only team that flat out won the matchups.

Did Tyson Henry play? I don't recall hearing his named called by the announcers.

Yes

Yes, #27 played, but when the game was out of reach in the third and fourth quarters, he was pulled and the backups played.

In another post, someone asked whether there was a running clock. No. Once the score reached 38-14 and then 45-14, both teams shortened the game by running the ball and letting the play clock wind down before snapping the ball. Brenham picked up first downs (and TDs) on basic handoffs to its running backs. The clock moves quickly when teams play that way.

I'm not sure the Indians can count on any district game as an automatic win. The 2022-2025 PN-G Indians are not walking through the door. Their offensive and defensive lines have been overmatched. Aside from #4 and #97, who will hit you with some thump, too many players rely on arm tackles. You are not bringing down Brenham's 205-pound running backs with arm tackles. During the bye week, line up in the Oklahoma Drill (aka Shotgun Alley) and get back to blocking and tackling.

On to Santa Fe. I'll be there next week rooting on the purple and white Indians! GO INDIANS!!!

 

[IndianFan]

Texas City and even Nederland can’t be overlooked in district.

 

[kingcrablegs]

I am starting to think this is going to be the yr that this is a rebuilding yr for PNG imo. We are way too small this yr imo.

 

[IndianFan]

Too many seniors to consider it a rebuild. There are 6 weeks to improve as much as possible. Then we see where the chips fall.

There are some very good players on this team.
