Defense on a whole played well, but the 2 big pass plays were back breakers, and the fumble in the redzone leading to the 3rd td didn't help either. I don't care how this season turns out. I refuse to talk down on these kids or this team. 4 turnovers will kill you every time. I did like what I saw out of Milton, especially on that last drive, he threw the ball accurately and with timing. I hope they start giving him more reps.

He had WRs wide open and couldn't hit em. Overall they just wasn't ready tonight, once again i saw no fire out the boys. 

Man I ride or die with these kids, but QB play was atrocious tonight. Everytime it seems like he's about to turn the corner, he takes 2 steps back. This was a piss poor offensive performance.

I'm more worried about the NC QB killing us with his legs than his arm per the footage I've watched. The wind shouldn't be too bad, right now they have it 8-15mph on Friday night in this area, shouldn't be a problem for anyone in the area. 

I just have a funny feeling that this is the come together game we've been waiting for....27-24 Titans.

And why are you taking joy in that statement?  I think they will be fine.  Looks like they started looking ahead which kids tend to do

Young QB trying to force his game now, he needs to settle down. Hero ball gets us nothing. 

Good catch and run lil Gip

Homie you kill me sometimes, you give GC slack for self inflicted errors but not your home team.

What are you looking for, when at team plays a poor team to see if there's any improvement? When they played Madison, the defense was arm tackling and there was a ton of missed tackles. Thursday, there were few blown assignments, and they played behind their pads and actually was hitting people.....improvement. O line played with somewhat of a mean streak, and actually fired off the ball and held blocks better......improvement.  The QB consistantly found the open WR, he under threw some, or the receiver dropped some but he's shown that he's starting to process what he's seeing....improvement. You actually notice that we had linebackers this game "GIANT IMPROVEMENT!!" I can see the potential in this team, and I can see it coming together. Will they get there? I dunno, but if they do....it's gonna be interesting, because they are getting better every week. 

They are right there, I see the week to week improvements, they had over 400 yards of offense Thursday. GP, couldn't do anything with them, self inflicted wounds stopped them and kept them in the game. All they have to do is continue to clean up their game by the end of district and they will be fine. Even if they don't, I'm still 100% in with these kids.

I personally don't care if we win 3 to 2 every game as long as we get the win. The defense showed a little bite tonight, they at least tried to hit something tonight instead of trying to hug their grandma. Inexperience at the QB position is holding them back right now, I hope the light comes on, but Ned dropped a TD, a bad  fumble call on the 8 yardline, my son gets stripped at the 50, and a blown coverage for a td. This could have easily been a 49-0 game. 

I think you'll see continuous improvement come this week. I hope all naysayers, and bleacher coaches stay home. 34-10 Memorial 

Even if they lose to NC, 7-3 ain't bad considering what they lost from last year, current injuries, and a sophomore which may be trying to do too much

I raved about the D tonight to @BMTSoulja1 
 
slow start O holding this team back. Can't play that way the next 4 games.

Key thing here is Miss opportunities.  .  United cannot keep leaving TD's on the field.  We did it last week Vs. Nederland and We did it last night.  I counted 24 Points left on the field.  The dropped TD pass on the near sideline, the Fumble in the red Zone, the Missed FG and Stupid penalties Need to be cleaned up.  And in no way should we get ANY delay of game penalties with the offense that we run.  In the first quarter, the run to the edges worked and I have no idea why we went away from it.  Later, PA made adjustments and we started running up the middle, which is a good sign, I guess.  QB play was decent, but  #5 will need to not take the unnecessary hard hit and just run out of bounds and/or throw the ball away if he is flushed out of the pocket.  Other than that, our O-Line blocked well and our RB's ate all night long. 
I have no issues with the defense. They hit hard and were fast to the ball.  D-Line was dominant as they have been all year and I see our LB's are getting better after each game. 
Honestly, Memorial has the athletes, but I think they were just outmatched with the overall size of BU, just looking at the battle in the trenches.  Still, some good pieces.  Ned is a beast and they QB has some wheels.  That was apparent on that 50 yard scamper to paydirt as he outran the BU defense.  That right there can be utilized in district and can cause New Caney fits. 
Memorial Needs to find some kids that want to hit someone on defense.  Arm tackles against big ball carriers won't cut the mustard, so I think they will need to address that.  Someone will need to also emerge as a leader on that defense and talk to someone and light a fire under someone's arse.  I didn't see that at all. 
I think PA will be fine and Morgan will have the team getting a lot better. They'll be , again, in a position to win district based on the talent I seen out there.
Game ball goes to Sophomore Rivers for playing great defense and getting a TD, this time from the punt return.  Including scrimmages up to this point, I just get higher on this kid and he fails to disappoint.  I love young guns that ball out in big games.
To conclude, PA will need to work on blocking and tackling in their bye week.  United will need to work on Silly penalties and mistakes on offense. If both teams do this, they'll peak in district and be in a position to do great things.

Big ups BU looks like you guys have turned that corner good game. We need to do a ton of tackling drills. 

For those that may not be familiar with Coach Williams, here is a story by I.C. Murrell from the PA News:

It has been a rough week for the alumni and fans of Port Arthur Lincoln.  First, the passing of an all-time great in tennis and service to PAISD, Mr. Levi Adams.  Second, the passing of a great football player, teacher, coach, and mentor, Mr. Richard Dick Williams.  Two excellent role models for success in sports and life.  A tip of the cap!  Jobs well done and lives well lived!  Prayers for the families.
Go Indians.  Peace.

Peace be to all who loved & respected him on this great loss. Nothing but respect!

This is the coach that got football turned around in Port Arthur, mainly Lincoln. He took the Bees back to the playoffs and beating the WOS mustangs. He was a great teacher, coach, and friend... you will be missed!!!
