Great runs, good play calls. Gotta punch this in.

 

[rogerkim]

I love how Porter covered up the ball at the end of that run.

 

[Deeringfish]

In games like this I always wonder if they are wearing the right cleats.

 

[Figrating]

I think we found our running back!

Bout time.

 

[NUinIowafan]

Just started watching in time to see us rip off two great runs followed by our QB slide into a pool and end of quarte 1! Wow!!

 

[Deeringfish]

Well, if we get a TD here, it's a very different game. I like the up tempo

 

[NUinIowafan]

Aaand a touchdown!!

 

[Deeringfish]

well, don't leave the room til the game is over.

 

[rogerkim]

Love the play call on 1st-and-goal: play-action pass with IL defense selling out to stop the run.

 

[TerraCat]

What kind of coverage was on that swing pass?

 

[TerraCat]

Good stop there!

 

[Deeringfish]

Wow that was a killer call

 

[Fanaticat98]

Nice stop! Let’s get some momentum.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Their punter has been the best player on the field so far

 

[Fanaticat98]

Oh my goodness.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Cmon Cats. We can’t keep giving up big momentum plays like a 4th and 10 fake punt.

 

[rogerkim]

Defense starting to wrap up on their tackles now. Guessing Hank gave them an earful on the sideline during our TD drive.

 

[Fanaticat98]

We need to create turnovers today...

 

[Deeringfish]

I guess that is the same as if they had done the punt, maybe better.

 

[BFDCat]

I guess that is the same as if they had done the punt, maybe better.

Yeah, almost for sure better. I'll take it.

 

[Fanaticat98]

They’re averaging like 6 ypc and they go for 2 FGs on 4th and <= 5 on a day like today.

 

[Figrating]

Ill is playing a great game against us.

Time for NU to take control.

 

[sprinkler2]

That you Lovie for a series of terrible play calls.

 

[chariots]

Huge penalty - certainly the right call but costly

 

[Fanaticat98]

Aaargh.

 

[Figrating]

How did Porter miss that?

 

[Deeringfish]

Too bad they didn't intercept that on the one.

 

[Deeringfish]

How did Porter miss that?

I think he took a peak up field and took his eyes off the ball.

 

[Fanaticat98]

How did Porter miss that?

Maybe that’s a reason he doesn’t play more.

 

[jensberg]

Mistakes killing us. Missed interception, fumble, penalty on TD

 

[Overly_Invested_Cat]

At least we’ve been moving the .

 

[TheC]

So now you can launch at the head of a defenseless receiver??

 

[chariots]

How is that after the ball is dead?

 

[Deeringfish]

Williams is dodgie

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

How is that after the ball is dead?

Don’t know the technical definition but the ball was past him when it happened. I think it’s the right call.

 

[Deeringfish]

How is that after the ball is dead?

It was after the ball arrived

 

[TheC]

I feel like we’re starting to take back control, but I’d feel better with another score.

 

[corbi2961]

How is that after the ball is dead?

I don’t understand that either. That was not a dead ball foul. If it had been called on the field, it would have resulted in first and goal NU. I think they blew that call.

 

[Figrating]

NU keeping it close - takes lotsa that 9AM beer.

 

[Deeringfish]

OK too many runs in a row
