Can You Be Perfect?
First let me start off with some very unfortunate news. As many of you may already we have lost Boobie Miles for the rest of the season. He has suffered a ruptured disc in his back. The whole team was excited to see him step back on the field and show the world he should have been mentioned with the other Heisman Candidates. I wish him the best of luck and for a speedy recovery. Some team in the NFL is going to get one heck of a player when he gets drafted next spring.
Now for that outstanding performance against #10 Colorado. I'll give a recap of the game and then give my thoughts on it.
1st Quarter
We started off very poorly when we gave up a huge 53 yard run to the RB Scott on their first drive.

Winchell and the boys promptly responded with a long drive where Comer and Miles were getting over 5 yards a carry. It ended with a TD pass to Bean
At the start of our second drive my heart immediately sank when Miles hurt his back. I thought the drive was over when the Comer fumbled the ball, but the replay system proved that he was down before the ball came out. A few plays later Winchell was in the endzone for his first time of the day after a 4 yard scamper.
Score: 14-7 Permian
2nd Quarter
With about 2 minutes left Colorado got on the board again with yet another Scott rushing TD, but they would miss their PAT.
Colorado would get the ball back again before the quarter would run out. They used their hurry up offense to march down the field and scored another TD on a Hawkins TD to WR McKnight.
Score: 20-14 Colorado
1st Half Stats
Colorado: 60 yards rushing 2 TD, 14 of 16 for 209 yards passing and 1 TD. TOP: 5:02
Permian: 106 rushing yards and 1 TD, 6 of 8 for 52 yards passing and 1 TD. TOP: 8:58
3rd Quarter
Both teams started the quarter off slowly with a few stalled drives ending in punts. With :18 left Winchell was at it again when he hit Collins deep over the middle for 50 yards.

Score: 21-20 Permian
4th Quarter
Colorado started the quarter quickly with a TD pass from Hawkins to WR Smith. They would complete their 2pt attempt, putting them back up by 7.
Two plays latter Winchell had answer for them. He hit a wide open Comer over the middle and he out ran both safeties and took the pass 59 yds for a TD to tie the game up at 28.

A couple of minutes(4:16 left) later Winchell found our TE Bean for a 51 yard pass. The drive would stall when Winchell barely missed Morris over the middle.
The defense would come up huge and get us the ball back quickly(2:37 left). Benson and company were huge in the second half, getting in Hawkins face quite often.
In about 30 seconds Winchell had that MOJO yet again. He threw the ball right through the safeties hands and Bean caught it and out ran everyone for a 66 yard game winning TD.
The defense would seal the win with about :56 to go after stopping Colorado on 4th down. Benson came up huge on second down when he tackled Scott(RB) for a 2 yard loss after we gave up 5 yards on first down.
I thought my team played very well today. The offense could have rolled up and died when Miles went down, but they kept chugging along. Winchell was huge for us today, he came up with big play after big play in the second half. Comer and Fiero(RB) kept pounding away at the defense all game long and eventually tired them out. Which opened up our Play Action passing game for Winchell.
After our defense started off slowly in the first quarter they settled in and focused on stopping the running game. They gave up a 53 yard scamper to Scott to start the game, but only allowed 59 yards total for the game. Hawkins was virtually unstoppable at QB with his robo like skills and he through for damn near 450 yards. Towards the end of the game I called on Defense time and time again, pleading them too give us just one more stop and a chance for the offense to score. In which they did so and they eventually sealed the win when they stopped Colorado on that 4th down attempt with under a minute to go.
