Or is it just about you?

Coach Boone...

Uh, Coach,

you lost Bertier...

Is your defense

in trouble?

You cannot replace

a Gerry Bertier...

as a player or person.

I don't know, Mama.

Maybe Yoast was right.

Maybe I pushed 'em

too hard.

Gerry had an accident.

Sometimes life's

just hard.

For no reason at all.

You think I was blinded

by my own ambition?

Mm. Whatever kind

of ambition it took

to do what you did

around here...

this world could use

a lot more of it, Herman.

Hmm.

Hey, Coach.

Hey, Coach.

ow you doing?

This for me?

I want you to be my eyes

out there, all right?

Any of these guys slack off,

you just let me know.

You bet I will.

How you doing, Gerry?

I'm all right, Coach.

I was just talking

to these guys about Marshall,

trying to get 'em--

You don't need to talk

about football now.

I think this is a good

time for refection

and for prayer--

Coach...

I'm hurt.

I ain't dead.

No, you're not.

No, you're not.

You know, I've been,

uh, reading up

on the activities

that they got for people

in wheelchairs and such.

They got Olympics.

This is the granddaddy

of state high school football

championships.

The Virginia triple 'A. ''

It just doesn't get any better.

We have

Coach Herman Boone's Titans

vs. the legend, Ed Henry,

with over250 wins

in 30years.

Amen.

Amen.

Let's go!

Lastik,

what's the matter?

I'm eligible.

Well, um, I'm glad

to hear that, son,

but I'm already married.

I got a C-plus average,

Coach.

I'm going to college.

All right, fantastic.

Coach? Coach?

I just want

to say I'm sorry.

You abandoned your team

in their moment of need, Petey.

''Sorry'' won't make up

for that.

Yeah, I know, but...

listen, I want

to play for you.

I want to play

for the championship.

You can play for me

next year.

You sit on that bench.

Show me you can support

your teammates.

You'll start again

as a senior.

Entering the stadium now

is Jean Bertier.

Now, she's the mother

of injured all-American

linebacker, Gerry Bertier.

And the Titan fans

are really giving her

a warm reception.

Gerry! Gerry! Gerry!

Gerry! Gerry! Gerry!

Gerry! Gerry! Gerry!

Gerry! Gerry! Gerry!

Gerry! Gerry! Gerry!

Gerry! Gerry! Gerry!

Gerry! Gerry! Gerry!

And here come

the Titans,

entering the stadium

in what's become

their own unique style.

!We feel,

hoo, hah, real good !

! Hoo, hah, we feel !

! Hoo, hah, real good !

! Hoo, hah, we feel !

! Hoo, hah, real good !

! Hoo, hah, we feel !

! Hoo, hah, real good !

! Hoo, hah, we feel !

! Hoo, hah, real good !

Julius Campbell?

Hi, I'm Emma Hoyt.

Oh. Oh, I guess

we never met, huh?

Uh, excuse me, young lady.

You can't be here right now.

ou gonna have

to get back to your seat.

Well, now we've met.

Yeah.

It's nice to meet you.

Good luck, Julius.

Whoa! Wait!

What the hell's going on?

Shotgun.

Who do they

think they are,

the New York Jets?

Switch! Switch!

Get 9!

Get9!

Bosley, move!

Move it up! Line up!

Get Bosley! Get9!Get9!

All right, let's go!

Hut hut!

Real good.

Keep it up.

Shotgun rush.

Cover3!

Go to cover3!Pass!

Hut!

Put some pressure

on that QB.

They got all day

to throw, Coach.

You just worry

about your offense.

Let's go!

Swing it! Swing it!

Set!

Get set! Get set!

Hut!

Yeah!

No!

What's wrong, Gerry?

Do not come in here!

They got receivers

everywhere out there.

It's like watching

Monday Night Football.

Good hustle, good hustle,

good hustle.

Just give him

a little cushion.

And when they throw

that ball, you stick him.

- Ready?

- Break!

Ready?!

Red, 57!

Red, 57!

Hut! Hut hut!

Titans star quarterback,

Ronnie Bass, gains 6yards.

What you think? You

think we got a chance?

Got to give me some way

to disguise that coverage.

Let's start thinking

about it. Let's go.

Ready!

Set!

Hut!

They're a mile

ahead of us.

He's a mile ahead

of you, Coach.

If your defense

would stop somebody,

we'd get the ball

a little more.

Well, the Titans

gave 'em a scare,

but Ed Henry looks

supremely confident.

T. C. Williams

goes in at the half

trailing 7-0.

Coach!

Sweetheart.

You better get back

to your seat.

I can't, Coach.

What?

Ed Henry's got Boone's

number, sure as shoot in'.

And you ain't doin' nothin'

against that shotgun.

Look, Coach...

now ain't the time

to be proud.

It's all right.

We're in a fight.

You boys are doing

all that you can do.

Anybody can see that.

Win or lose...

we gonna walk out

of this stadium tonight

with our heads held high.

Do your best.

That's all anybody

can ask for.

No, it ain't, Coach.

With all due respect, uh,

you demanded more of us.

You demanded perfection.

Now, I ain't saying that

I'm perfect, 'cause I'm not.

And I ain't gonna never be.

None of us are.

But we have won every single

game we have played till now.

So this team is perfect.

We stepped out on that field

that way tonight.

And, uh, if it's all the same

to you, Coach Boone,

that's how

we want to leave it.

Yeah.

I hope you boys have learned

as much from me this year

as I've learned from you.

You've taught this city how

to trust the soul of a man

rather than the look of him.

And I guess it's about time

I joined the club.

Herman! I sure could

use your help.

Ed Henry's kicking my ass

out there.

Listen up.

This is our time now.

Second half is our time!

We gonna make some changes

on defense.

They're spreading us out

too far.

We gonna put Sunshine, Alan,

Glascoe, Davis.

You gonna play both ways,

rest of the game.

I don't want a receiver

to get across that line

of scrimmage.

Coach Yoast will tell you

where you're playing, all right?

Let's go. It's our time.

Everybody in.

Our time! Our time!

Our time!

Titans on 3! 1 , 2, 3!

Titans!

Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go!

All right, Julius.

We're gonna go 52 monster.

I know that's all

you need to know.

All right, we're going

zone, Alan. I need--

Sir, I could play

with Roosevelt.

But I cannot play

with these guys.

No, I tell you what.

I didn't warm the bench

all year

so I could watch us

go down on my account.

Put Petey in.

He's better.

You want him

to take your spot,

you go give it to him.

Thank you.

Ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

!!!!

All right, Petey!

All right!

That was beautiful!

Offense, let's go.

!! There's a place up ahead!!

!!And I'm goin'!!

!!Justas fast as my feet

can fly!!

!! Come away, come away

if you're goin'!!

!!Leave the sinkin' ship

behind!!

!! Come on the risin' wind!!

!! We're goin' up

around the bend!!

All right, Defense?

Get out there!

Let's go! Let's stop 'em!

Let's go,

let's go, let's go.

!!Better get while

the gettin's good!!

!!Hitch a ride to the end

of the highway!!

!! Where the neons

turn to wood!!

O-2...inside veer.

O-2 inside veer.

!! Come on the risin' wind!!

!! We're goin' up

around the bend!!

!! Ooh!!

!! You can ponder

perpetual motion!!

A field goal

attempt for T. C. Williams.

It's good!

!!Always time

for a good conversation!!
