* VillainousBreakdown: Coach Kilmer starts losing his grip the more Mox continues to defy him. When Mox and Tweeder refuse to carry on playing, Kilmer angrily assaults him in the locker room in view of the other players, which costs him his credibility. His desperate attempts to rally the team fail as they refuse to follow him.

* NeverMyFault: Kilmer blames Billy Bob missing a block for Lance's CareerEndingInjury despite the fact it only happened because Kilmer forced Billy Bob to play through a concussion and Lance's knee was already weakened due to Kilmer making him play through a minor injury he already had instead of sitting out a game.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Mox's narration of Billy Bob and Tweeder in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue only speaks of their reactions to winning the big game, so the viewers are left with no knowledge of what became of them after high school.

Added DiffLines:

* SkewedPriorities: Sam Moxon considers playing for the West Canaan Coyotes to be the opportunity of a lifetime and has little patience for anything he sees as a distraction for that. Mox rightly tells him that it's only a lifetime opportunity for ''him'' and there's more to the world than their no name town's high school football team.

* {{Narcissist}}: Coach Bud Kilmer. All he cares about is his personal glory, has a NeverMyFault moment with Billy Bob, his most devoted player and expects the team to obey his every command, especially in the final scenes.
