How many turnovers are they looking at ? At least 2 interceptions? And one fumble recovery. I think between the both of them it's about 5 turnovers. Or 4.

TD Crosby.

BH was moving the ball too.

Yeah, it was a heartbreaker to lose a game like that, especially since it seemed the whole game like we were the ones who were winning, since we kept stopping their offense and making them settle for field goals. No one thought their KICKER would have like 19 points.

That interception hurts. Bounced off the receiver's hands and landed right in the Crosby DB's chest.

28-6 PNG at the half. Some game details: PNG intercepted Dayton on Dayton's first pass of the game. Dayton QB has completed several long passes, particularly in 3rd and long situations. PNG defense looks better, though Dayton isn't throwing a lot at them. PNG offense is balanced and precise, not a lot of hurry. PNG hasn't punted (I think). Dayton receivers have made some good catches, but there isn't much of a Dayton run game. PNG RBs are having a good night. Conner had a 62-yard run where it looked like he was wrapped up, but he kept his legs churning and got out of the scrum.

It would be nice to have BH and PNG undefeated in district next week.

Right -- But BH is going to make them need to score more than Dayton will. You may be right that Dayton actually held them, but it may also be that Crosby didn't need to score any more than they did. I can also see it being more like BH/PAM - something like 24-21.

That was QB Josh Miller (I think that was his name). The receiver was Jayce Nelson, who played for Lamar and now coaches at PNG. Jayce has a strong argument for being the best WR in PNG history.

It seems the refs have been especially active this season.

Crosby will get above 30, I think, so BH better keep up

Don’t remind me. It looked like PNG was going to run away with it because Dayton couldn’t stop our offense, and Dayton kept “settling” for field goals from what seemed like impossible distances. And they won - it was either 12 or 15 points off of field goals alone. It was surreal - he was hitting them from 46, 48 yards. That was 2011. So PNG got behind and could have won with a score, but in the last play Dayton intercepted PNG in the end zone and it was over.

Will this game be broadcast on the radio, in addition to Texan Live?

Thank you - I didn't know any of this. I'm not sure who the coach was at this point in the timeline, but Dayton was pretty good in 2011 (beat PNG in close game), 2014 (beat PNG in close game), and 2015 (lost to PNG in close game). Ever since then it's been a different story.

As a Dayton fan, do have any inside info as to what happened to Dayton? I hope this question doesn't sound patronizing. All I know if Dayton was solid and even feared no more than five years ago.

I think Jacksonville does, but they do it a little faster, I think. They play it a little faster, if I remember.

Texas City wins.

Nederland by three scores.

I’m curious what the last coach did so wrong. All I know is Dayton used to be good, (knocked PNG out of the playoffs at least twice in the last ten years) but it’s been one of the worst teams in the state for about 4 years.

It’s going to continue to be a problem. I feel like the players have been in the right position to make a play, but just don’t latch and on like they should.

I also want to see more sure open field tackling. I think the defense just needs to move permanently to a 4-3 for the rest of the season. What is clear after four games is that if we can get a body on a runner right at the line of scrimmage we will be okay, but in just about every instance where the runner is able to build up a head of steam (read: anytime the runner makes it to the second level), we are looking at a huge gain, or a touchdown. So far every team has been able to exploit that.

I think PA takes this one.

All indications are this should be a tune-up game for PNG. But PNG has played every team to a one-score finish this year, so I'm wondering if Dayton will be different. My prediction is PNG wins by +10.

PNG finally has a tune-up game!

I’m excited for this game. Easily the marquee matchup of the week. Are Crosby and BH rivals? They should be. Crosby is a mystery. My gut says they should be favored to win district, but there is still a lot to learn about them. The fact they lost to the teams they lost to isn’t a surprise, and I think everyone knows Crosby is better than their record. But how much better?
