First-half thread for NU-MSU

This.

It is no surprise when we score with a sub RB in.

 

[TerraCat]

Kick the FG - please

If we walk away with no points...we are in serious trouble...I don't care if they get a touchdown...this kind of coaching is going to cost us games...

 

[DrillCat]

Espn commentator is annoying the hell out of me!

I'm glad I don't have to make the decisions. I'd have probably gone for three also. Glad we didn't of course!

Ahmad Brooks gets on my nerves - he doesn't shut up

Great play calling until we got to the first and goal. We had them on the ropes ... but

No way you kick a fg from the 6 inch line. The numbers tell you to go for it. Especially with the new rule you can push the qb

 

[TerraCat]

I guess our goal line play is Thorson pushed in by Jackson now...glad we got the points...disagree with the call...

Maybe so, getting within 1 score is valuable though. Glad they converted. Eventually he's going to need a FG from his kicker, I hope the kid is ready as he's getting no looks in games

If we can go into the half 10 7 , we have a goo d shot. MSU will get weary before we do. It is hard to win on the road even at Dyche Stadium.

Who?

 

[Deeringfish]

Short Kick

 

[TheC]

It makes me sick to my stomach that Penn State is having so much success. If there is ever a reason to doubt there is a God, it is that the evil that is Penn State is doing well.

I agreed with the call. You should always be able to sneak it in from that distance with the new rule. And Jackson’s push was mostly a whiff. What worked was one of our OL (couldn’t tell which) grabbing CT and pulling him into the end zone.

 

[Deeringfish]

Who?

Last week Larkin Scored.

 

[Deeringfish]

Need a sack

 

[Deeringfish]

Tackle for loos , just as good.

 

[willycat]

Last week Larkin Scored.

Thank you,misunderstood.

 

[Deeringfish]

Why time out here? Our D has them in a hole, with limited time. So we give them a chance to regroup?

Green pushed him in I believe

OK, I'm wrong and Fitz is right. I will remember that the rest of the game.
We could get a lead with this much time.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Seeing why our DB's are DB's and not receivers - no hands

 

[TheC]

Now are we going to try to score this drive?

 

[HawkCat]

Green pushed him in I believe

And Butler bear-hugged him and pulled him in.

FGwould be nice

 

[TheC]

Big third down conversion and good use of timeout. Now let's go get some points!

 

[stowbilly]

Amazing what you can do when you try to score.

not much wind?

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

At least he didn't take a sack

 

[Deeringfish]

That is a big kick for the Freshman.

Seriously the biggest kick of his career.

Go Cats!!!

Has nothing to do with this game, but I just wanted to agree. I also hate that they are making me root for Ohio State. I feel so...dirty.

Drilled it - kid can kick

He's been money.

 

[TheC]

Nice job Cats!! 10-10 at half. Really nice bounce back.

 

[corbi2961]

And Butler bear-hugged him and pulled him in.

If that's the case, I believe that should have been called a penalty. Luckily it was not.

So nice to have a reliable kicker again. Given how slow we started, very happy to be tied at the half.

 

[Deeringfish]

I agree. That kick, to tie the game, just seems to me to be a good confidence builder, early in a career.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Did they really say if Wisconsin runs the table, including the BT championship they still may not make the playoff? That's just nonsense

 

[corbi2961]

I thought this game would come down to Thorson vs. Lewerke and so far it's been a good match up between the two. I didn't think lewerke had this kind of play in him. Best game I have seen him play. I think our defense starts to impose it's will in the second half. Williams coming in for Mayo may end up being a critical adjustment.
