*EC vs. OF....EC Wins/Comments*

What a game! OF had EC on the ropes when the Cats broke out after trailing EC 14-13 with two quick scores just after the half. The Bucs then fought back with outstanding blocking paving the way for two sustained scoring drives. After turning back an OF drive deep into EC territory with a 4th down stand at the 25, the Bucs then worked their way back down the field, converting a 4th and 4 to go with seconds remaining with a great pitch out that surprised the OF defense. A plunge over the goal line with 20 seconds or so left in the game broke a 28 all tie and gave the Bucs the win! Great effort by all involved, and a great call on the 4th down conversion.

With Huckaby as OC I figured they would be better on that side of the ball, but I heard the defense is not very good.  Morrison came up through the ranks as a DC and was a pretty good one at that.  DOn't now much about the new guy but Im afraid he's no Morrison and the "D" will have a drop off.

I did not go to the game but it seems to me 28 points the first game of the year after only having a month and a half to incorporate your offense isn't too bad. How many times did OF score 28 points last year? Giving up 35 isn't good...I'll agree with you there...but perhaps things could change.

Was a great game, feel like we are better now than when the season ended last year.  Defense played ok in first half, not so great in the second.  Made some great plays on offense had to good chance to tie at the end.  Its a new week and new opponent so let's shake it off and get ready for next week.  Good job Bobcats!

    • I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure. 
    • WOW what a game. just got home, I'm gonna sleep with a big smile all night. PNG QB passes were spot on tonight, lil #17 freshman receiver had huge catches at critical times in the game. # 44 had a couple of huge catches including the 'jump pass' on 4th down for a touchdown.  #4 made big plays at key times on both sides of the ball, he is a beast. #11 played his usual consistent game with big time catches and a couple of good punts and a good job of just falling on a bobbled kick reception. #27 probably had 125 yards or so rushing. The defensive backs did a good job, bending but not breaking including the interception in the end zone. I thought the TH coaches messed up not trying to score with the high power players they have when they got the fumble right before half with 45 seconds or so on the clock and 3 TO left, if they would have scored then it would have broke our backs. I know it was 90 yards to go but they could cover the field in 3 or 4 plays. This is one of the most exciting wins in PNG's long history of exciting wins. Oh yeah kudos to the fans for getting in to the game at key times and in my Opinion making a big difference. 😂
    • To the 41 individuals that picked TH…..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Round 4 here we come!
