Spot on. Some of the play calls made no sense. PNG stopped running the plays that were working. Nederland did not stop us. Indians stopped themselves with mistakes. The very thing you cannot do in this game.
Do we stop the hard-nosed football because of conditioning?
Does Mr. Faircloth still call the plays?
Tons of cramping and hands on hips.
Yes
Thanks.

Nederland is a second half team apparently. They have shown that in two games in a row now. Hopefully don’t have to do that again. Good game ndns

After sleeping on the FAN agony of defeat it is easier to state that it was a good game worthy of the rivalry series. The Indians flashed what they can be with a mixture of the growing pains still apparent.
The last 4 PN-G possessions ended in turnovers or a self committed loss of yardage. While the opponent is certainly due the congratulations for the win, we cant help knowing that it could have easily been a different outcome if the execution had matched the first half. On offense Cole Crippen demonstrated that he's going to be a very good QB. The offensive line won the battles. The receivers caught the ball and Trahan had another excellent night running the ball. On defense it was a mixed bag with lots of high points and opportunities for improving the tackling. The team will learn from this and fix the things that need improvement.
Congratulations to the Bulldogs on the win. Fighting to the end and realizing the victory is what it's all about.

We need to remember one key factor. The Indians are very young. They have showed improvement each week. If this trend continues by years end they could be a very tough team to beat. Next year will be a senior laden team not a Junior and sophomore laden team like this season. The growth from scrimmage 1 to now is immense. I know a few out there who has been watching with me from two-a-days until now and we have grown as a team a lot.
Faircloth will have them better each week. We will need to beat BH, Texas City, or Crosby plus all the expected wins to make the playoffs. This is very possible. Last night showed us we can run the ball and we had a standout receiver as well.
Trahan had 135 yards rushing, Prosperie had 130 yards receiving

The o-line won the battle all night and Trahan benefited. All those guys return next season with the exception of 1. Only 7 or so starters graduate after this season. But they still have some winning to do. Seniors, set a fire under this team to work harder towards perfect execution on each play. Despise losing and fight for the wins.
See the fire Faircloth talk starting on the other site.
