Game Thread: Northwestern at Tulane

[eddie_gocats]

Career high comparisons…

 

[NUChicago]

Who do want as HC next year?

Better question, who takes the job?

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Imagine having bought plane tickets to watch this

(not me)

The ESPNU announcers are now doing their version of "bless their little hearts, they're really trying out there."

 

[AdamOnFirst]

NU doesnr have TOP as an excuse, it was quite even entering this drive

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Held them to a FG. The offense must answer with a touchdown to at least keep it interesting.

If we don’t score a touchdown here, the game is over.

Fun fact: I played against Dustin Fox in high school. He was FAST.

 

[Figrating II]

Wonder what's on the train wreck channel?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Program isn’t gonna get better until we have WRs that aren’t a joke

 

[CatManTrue]

Covey with two drops in a row… and then thrown out of bounds on fourth down.

Can we get 3 wins?

 

[989bjm989]

So disappointing. Wanted so badly to see something different from this.

 

[eddie_gocats]

I’m a Sad Cat….

 

[TheC]

Welp..... Northwestern football is in a very very bad place. It's going to take a long time to rebuild this mess. Hope our new AD (who comes from a school with no real football program) knows some people.

At least it's sunny and beautiful here in New England. Enjoy the holiday weekend all.

We look deficient at pretty much every position.

Looks like another long losing season is in store.

No

Ball was thrown behind him on the 2nd one.

3 wins depends on how bad Purdue is.

 

[UpsetAlert]

True, but if that Piece of Stone had not thrown INT 3 up for grabs, I could easily see it 13-6 at the half with some modicum of hope.

Put in Lausch. He at least can run around. Oh wait.

Purdue is dominating Ball State.

 

[eddie_gocats]

At least no interceptions…

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Purdue is dominating Ball State.

Not comparable, we’re playing an actually good opponent. Not that I’m excusing our non-competitiveness, but it’s apples and aircraft carriers

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Can't believe we didn't go after another WR in the portal. The thought process and decision making of this coaching staff is very questionable.
Just like not taking that holding penalty that would have made it 3rd and 29 and they kick a field goal.

There’s a chance Tulane is a Top 25 team and playoff hopeful.

But several Big Ten games will be worse than this. Oregon, Penn State, Michigan… woof

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Can Porter is insanely better thank Komo and I don’t need to see the latter for more than a couple carries a game going forward

We DID

 

[CatManTrue]

At least Porter wants to compete! He should have been much more involved in the first half.

Our WRs are getting absolutely dominated.

Pathetic WR play is the hallmark of this program. We once again don’t have a single P4 level talent on the roster. Mind you I don’t mean no guys who should play on a P4 field, literally no guys with the talent to be on a P4 roster in the first place. Wilde is the best of them but he’s just a savvy veteran

 

[Rodenthater]

There’s a curse on this program and a new stadium, taj mah Al facilities, is never going to make a difference until we drop the gpa

My point is Purdue probably won't be awful this year.

 

[Rodenthater]

If I were Pat Ryan I would be raising holy hell!

 

[jensberg]

The transfer wide receiver from Stanford is not existent in this game

 

[Rodenthater]

Why Dave Enet continues to do play by play for all these years is beyond me!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

The transfer wide receiver from Stanford is not existent in this game

He’s a freshman who couldn’t even play for a stanford team who was worse than we were

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

The good news is he's down at the 2.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

So, last year, Wright benched after a bad game. Against an OK team that we nearly beat. Now?

 

[TheC]

That interception was partly on a WR who again can't get an inch of separation

 

[AdamOnFirst]

our WRs can’t even compete to causes breakups on 50-50 balls…

 

[eddie_gocats]

Time to shut down Stone… #sadcat

 

[Catslash]

This is what a last place team in an 18 team league looks like .

 

[CatManTrue]

4 interceptions for Stone.

Let’s see what the backup can do.
