Before moving on to the LH game...one last question from the FBM game. Did anyone else think that the PN-G punt coverage got a bad call? The punt where PN-G's downfield gunner hit the FBM punt returner right as he caught the ball. To me, that should NOT draw a flag? The referees threw a flag, but at the stadium, in real time, it looked like a BAM, BAM laser fast punt catch and clean tackle. Did the TV video show that the PN-G gunner was early? It happened on the end of stadium where I was sitting ~35 yard line, and it happened fast, but I thought our gunner hit the punt returner after he caught the ball. That 15 yard penalty was a big help for FBM. It gave the Buffs the football at midfield and they scored on that drive. Was it a penalty? Moving on to the LH game. Go Indians.
Yep, and Texan Live guys saw it that way too. It was same as the first game in September and both times it led to a FBM score.

Way to Indians !!! this brought back memories of when I was a kid of the 1974 play off run when we were not expected to go anywhere but got to the semi finals . which was the beging of the 1970s playoff run.
It was warranted. Still have to give a cushion to catch the ball. Still one of the best hits & needed penalty since 99 regional final with Gohlke's hit
It was perfect timing. Too perfect, and drew the flag. I watched the replay a couple times on TL, and both of the TL announcers said it was perfect timing, no targeting, etc. But when it's that close it'll typically draw the ref's flag.
Another interesting coincidence: When was the last time we had a kicker as good as Sandoval? 1999
Sandell was a really good kicker the last few seasons.
True, but not as consistent as Sandoval (and Joey Price), especially at longer distances. Thus, a weapon we have not really had since 1999. And was the difference between winning and losing against FBM.

Sandell missed a lot of kicks. Sandoval is coming on strong at the end of the season.

A little perspective of how big the PNG o-line is.

I think it was 1989 when Danny Malone was coaching. Keith Waguespack is the most consistent kicker on FG's and PAT's that I can remember in my 52 years of being a PNG Indian fan.
He was an incredible kicker. Isn't that the year we had BONZAI ?
Waguespack was also great. I remember him well.
That is what I have been saying. I think 1999 is the last time we had a weapon as good as Sandoval at kicker. Although we have had some accurate kickers since then, none that I can recall with the ability to consistently be accurate at long distances. And Price had that ability in spades.
