Ok, here's my take on the game.

1. First half was extremely sloppy for both offenses.

2. Faircloth was waaaay too conservative in the 1st half except going for 2 after first TD which was a big head scratcher.

3. LeBaron played a very good game and the 2 INT on the stat sheet were extremely unlucky. A WR fell down and then a fluke bounce off defender on ground in endzone.

4. PNG scouted Ned well and was determined not to let 22 Krautz and 6 Perkins beat them, but 28 Leleux and 10 Fisher stepped up big time!

6. Ned played a flawless 3rd quarter. PNG played a great 4th quarter. PNG offense was on fire late in game.

7. Ned kicker had an awesome game

8. #27 Wistner for Ned is a soph and the next really good player on Ned D. Watch and see the next 2 years.

9. Ned defense is extremely underrated. PNG defense is good as well.

10. There were very questionable calls all night long.

All in all, another great MCM game and exciting finish. #6inarow

Quit bickering about "coulda", "woulda", "shoulda". The score is what it is. I would venture to guess that both teams just played their sloppiest offensive half of the season. The score is 10-6 and the game is super sloppy. Both teams are lucky that the other team has not capitalized.

I just finished watching the 20 minute documentary on YouTube. Very nicely put together by all involved. It truly depicts the importance of the rivalry in the great history behind it. Both schools have a lot to be proud of. I recommend watching it if you haven't already. My only question is… why are most of Nederland's highlights in color and PNG's are only in black and white? Just kidding Indian fans. Looking forward to a great game once again tonight!

serious question... has PNG won since they "got turf"? I think they had turf in Faircloth's first season, a PNG win. Am I right or wrong?

Only 353 comments?! You'd think a team had won 5 in a row in the series or something... Just kidding. Should be a great game. A case can be made for both sides. PN-G's phenomenal passing game. Ned's dynamic running game. Should be fun!

Pre 1990: PNG- Ron McGill (Ned was real bad back then, but Ron was real good)

Post 1990: PNG- Dustin Long

Pre 1990: Ned-Kip McFarlin (he was the QB that finally got us to playoffs after some very lean years)

Post 1990: Ned- Micah Mosley(Troy Sumrall was a close 2nd)

I was born in '76 so the late 80's-now are the times I recall.

His bell was definitely rung when he came to the sidelines...

I won't pick a winner in this one, but I will predict a lot of D-1 talent, a lot of speed, lots of excuses, and lots of coaching criticism. Should be fun!

he was out for several plays while being checked by the trainers. There was a pass play, a handoff to #28 Leleux, and another play that was either a QB keep or a handoff to #21 Nguyen. Then, a Ned or Central timeout and Krautz went back in. I ain't a doctor or trainer, but he didn't seem woozy gouging the Jag D the rest of the night. But, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last weekend!!

I'm not sure what the refs called. They seemed confused all night long. It had to be interference or holding on Ned though, it turned around the pick 6 and gave the Jags a first down.

While it's possible that y'all could go 4-0, I don't see it. 3-1 is a good probability, but 2-2 is as good of a probability as 4-0 in my opinion. Lots of parity in this district. It's all about match ups.

I agree 100%

I didn't think Central quit at all. They did get dominated by the Nederland O-Line in the 2nd half, but those Jags fought hard the whole game and had us on the edges of our seats until the clock read :00... Let's give both teams credit for a hard played game and move on.

yes, and Ned was after the game as well... #zinger #toosoon?

Should be another great game. PN-G was my DC pick before the season, but Ned has narrowed the gap. Game is a toss up in my opinion, but Ned has the most explosive player of the two teams.

I agree on THAT play. But, in the 2nd half he got the corner every time. Wet field and all. #onemanwreckingcrew

Sure is quiet around here... Both teams 3-0. Winner has the inside track to the DC. Does Ned make it 6 straight vs PNG or does Faircloth have the horses this year?

Ironically, if the pick-6 wasn't called back Nederland woulda covered the 22 point spread...

Great halftime adjustments by Ned. Ran the ball at will in the 2nd half. LU needs to get Krautz NOW. He would be an excellent slot receiver in FCS. What are you waiting for, LU?

Central 20

nah, he ain't fast...

Good drive by Central. Still a ballgame.

Krautz seems to get the corner on the wet field...

"One Man Wrecking Crew" 28

Central 13

Thoughts so far:

1. Central D is good. Good pass rush and our WRs aren't open.

2. Ned needs to establish the run first drive on 2nd half.

3. Ned fake punt from the 50 was dumb.

4. Great play call and execution by Central on the TD pass.

5. Bad play calling of 3 passes by Central from midfield with 3 mins left. Give it to that big back!!

6. Why did Central go for 2? That could haunt you.

7. Ned D ain't as bad as everyone thinks.

8. 4 missed tackles on the 85 yard TD return on KO. Gotta clean that up.

9. Ned needs to score first drive 2h.

10. Two good football teams. Athlete edge: Central Coaching Edge: Ned

looking forward to the 2nd half!

we are just lucky to be on the field with a team like the Jags this year, last year, the year before, the year before... Should be a good game. Anybody expecting a blowout either way is delusional. Two good teams.

why would the Dogs be nervous? We are 22 point underdogs according to Jaguar Nation... Seems to me that we have nothing to lose. We were supposed to lose by at least 4 TD last year in this game so glad to see we are getting more respect...
