- Returning from a loss, the Marshall University American Football team crash just shy of the safety of their home town airport. The community, in shock, rush out to see.

- The director employs an aerial shot to show vulnerabiltiy. Here, Nate is shown clutching his injured shoulder. He knows he won't be able to play the whole upcoming game when he feels his team needs him the most since he is captain and one of the experienced members of the original team. The director uses low key lighting to highlight his mood as well which is rather downcast.
