* In Bobby's first game, one of the first things he does is he hits the quarterback as he is throwing the ball, causes a bad pass that Robideaux easily intercepts and and returns for a touchdown. When Bobby runs to the end zone to celebrate and high five his teammates, he gets ignored and is left standing alone. In his first play of the last game of the season, Bobby crushes the running back, causing a fumble and once again allowing Robideaux to score an easy touchdown. This time, the defense celebrates with Bobby squarely in the middle.
