TU at NIU Game Thread

[TulsaAM]

And NIU kicks the ball out of bounds! It's the Toilet Bowl back from my John Maybe days!

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

This is a comedy of errors.

How funny would a 2-0 score line at half be?

 

[TulsaAM]

That would be damn funny, a final score of 4-2.

Baseball is BACK at TU!

 

[TulsaAM]

Real question after that toss play... if you toss the ball FORWARD is it considered a pass or is it illegal?

A toss forward behind the line is still a pass.

 

[TulsaAM]

Tulsa with the 1st Quarter lead improves from 49 - 3 to 49 - 5 in the 1st this year. I have to laugh to keep from crying. I used to bleed gold and blue, now I just bleed

 

[TulsaAM]

A toss forward behind the line is still a pass.

Then I get the play. RB 7 yards behind the line and QB tosses it to him forward as the RB runs full steam ahead. If he drops it, incompletion. If he hit an outside hole like a freight train you can pick up some good yards.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

I'm just waiting for us to get our willies out early. Then we'll roll.

Our O-line is pushing them back on every play, run it down their throat.

UH use to run the back in motion in front of the QB in shotgun. He would touch pass to the back. If he dropped it was incomplete.

 

[TU1NNJ]

TD

 

[TulsaAM]

TOUCHDOWN TU! Now that was a well called, well executed, drive on a short field. Nice job

 

[Henry Kendall]

Watkins! He’s taking over the RB position, seems like.

I remember that. TU did it with Stokes if I remember correctly. I see the Academies use that play, but I think one of them (maybe Army) runs a version of the Veer. It's been a while since I cared enough about football to keep those facts in my head.

 

[TU Pilot]

That's better

 

[TulsaAM]

Watkins! He’s taking over the RB position, seems like.

He isn't dancing at the line, he is hitting it. Was it his fumble or someone elses?

We got the unfortunate side of that call when Boise State played in Tulsa. They fumbled and had it called incomplete.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

We really had 2 nice drives in a row. It’s just that the first one ended in a fumble after we had driven 74 yards. We need to keep the momentum going!

 

[Henry Kendall]

Oh mylanta… I thought our mascot was bad…that Husky is fugly

 

[TU1NNJ]

We kick it out of the end zone! Yea!

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Ford fumbled. Watkins is our best RB.

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

Wish they would have kept Lombardi in. He's doo doo.

 

[jesterondirt]

Imagine being a 7th year senior QB and getting benched.

That was Houston in their own end zone

 

[TulsaAM]

Ford fumbled. Watkins is our best RB.

Thanks for the memory refresh, Watkins definitely looked good on that drive

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

Imagine being a 7th year senior QB and getting benched.

Imagine being named Lombardi and being terrible at football.

 

[TulsaAM]

OH NO! They discovered our secondary on offense

 

[Tulsafanzz]

That was Houston in their own end zone

I think it was was Case Keenum who “threw “ it.

 

[Henry Kendall]

That was a good play call by them.

 

[TU1NNJ]

We have to answer before half.

 

[TulsaAM]

TD for NIU after an 11:03 drive on a well-designed play makes it 9 -7

 

[TulsaAM]

We have to answer before half.

Right, even if it's a FG NIU doesn't need to momentum going into half

 

[HuffyCane]

If the QB runs the play that is called, doesn’t telegraph his eyes, and doesn’t throw late we will be OK in the second half.

 

[HuffyCane]

Up by 2 and calling a pass on 3rd and 4 under 2 minutes in your own half in a game with minimal scoring and you’ve had success with edge running? Questionable.

 

[TulsaAM]

18 was open and could have made the first... poor decision on the part of Williams. Game is just a little faster than he is at this point. But the play calling is there. The execution is hit or miss, which is expected given the age and experience of the team.

 

[TU1NNJ]

If Cardell scrambles to the outside instead of inside he goes for 10-20 yards

 

[TU83]

If the QB runs the play that is called, doesn’t telegraph his eyes, and doesn’t throw late we will be OK in the second half.

Agree but That won’t happen!

He had a player open for the first and didn't make it through his progressions in time. He should have dropped his third read given the situation and use the safety valve to make the first.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Pick!! Boom!,

 

[TulsaAM]

INTERCEPTED BY TU DEFENSE WAY TO GO!
