The State Championship Game | Friday Night Lights

This reminds me of those Old Coaches who always quote: THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTION FOR WINNING. This scene pretty much proves it.

Still get goosebumps watching this

I always loved it in this episode when Voodoo tries to flip Smash and Smash tells him to pound salt.

Idk how yall watch this show, the movie is 100x better

Just when you think it will never be as good and they introduce that new Vince fella who we’re never gonna love as much as smash and Saracen…BOOM!who knew.
Coach, Riggins & Vince equal 3 greatest TV characters ever ever ever

BEST show EVER ❤ I cannot remember how many times I’ve rewatched this series 😊

Buddy G

They've got to be the smallest high school football team in America and they're state champs? What's their average - like 5'9" 170 lbs if that?

Whats crazy is Zach Gilford the actor who played Matt Saracen was 24 playing like a 16 year old and Taylor Kitsch was 25 playing a 16 year old Tim Riggins

Almost every game in this show is won on the last play of the game.

Texas don't want none of Alabama high-school football. This little 5A school wouldn't stand a chance against the 7A power down here

I loved this show

Hawkman vs The Dillon Panthers

I taught high school for decades, and the last thing I want to watch are movies and TV series about anything to do with high school. I made an exception for this series. It's just so well done.

My mom brought home the first season on DVD back in 2013 the summer before my freshman year of high school. Didn’t play in Texas but this show nailed the vibe high school football in a lot of ways, and yeah winning state is really this sweet.

Oh no, I'm 2.50 in and I'm just going to stop watching. Can't possibly turn this around.

2023 and still love this show!!!!

Best show I have ever watched

Makes me feel like I want to go to Texas one day and get the feeling of state championship.

Say what you want about Smash and his ego, but he put the team on his back a carried them to victory!

Nice to see a team in blue knows how to win in Dallas.

Hook and ladder for the state championship. Love y'all.

Connie Britton completely sells this moment. They cut to her for maybe 1.5 seconds and her gasp let’s you know that she knows Smash is going to score but she still can’t believe it. Great emotion from the actor without over selling it

I mean if we're being real honest the formation for the last play of the game made zero since and they really didnt even run the play he said

I love Jason Street as an assistant coach for Matt Saracen

If tatum went back to lousianna , then how did he end up on the other team in the state championship game against the panthers?

Jason street was a legend ,, really the ⭐ of the championship

I went played college football at high level, but my absolutely best memory was winking a high school football state championship our junior and senior year, I was the king of a small town for three years and there was no better feeling! I felt like NFL pro, it was an absolute best time of my life

Should I start this series?? I loved the movie! But I didn’t know this tv series was a thing is it good?

I always rewatch this series

Very good show I still watch it

Did anyone see when smash took his helmet off

Watch the entire series like 4 times and it's still the best show ever.

Wasn’t Voodoo banned from the league after the recruitment violations?

A great show that was mishandled by NBC.

U sss

John 3:16For God loves the world he sent his son for whoever believes in him shall not perish but live an everlasting life

Wished they showed the Devil Town victory parade.

Incredible show!!!! They don't make them like this anymore.

yet they still replaced matt. he had what the others didnt and that was being clutch under pressure

seems like the main problem for the panthers was the o-line...

smash was the real star and heart of the team.

Hooo Mack Daddy, somebody stole my caddy!

Note how Eric insists that Smash, who is in the middle of an MVP performance, go get his shoulder checked. A man who cares about his players’ welfare more than winning. Love this show forever.

Just rewatched the series. Matt Saracen was my favorite character. To see Coach Taylor grow to believe in him is pure greatness.

I got Tim Riggins mentality

Smash put the whole team on his back doe… dude went into the mind of Greeeg Jennings…

This show had two of the hottest girls on tv.
