FOOTBALL Game thread for NU vs. Oregon

[bringbacktherantboard]

Just one play away, now twice on this drive

Thrice we couldn't stop them on 3rd down. This drive was a back-breaker.

 

[TheC]

Oof, Fitzgerald not quite the star in coverage that is he in the box yet

That is a talented TE. Not everyone can move like him

 

[CatManTrue]

I was hoping we’d beat the spread.

Not looking very likely now.

 

[NU Houston]

Oof, Fitzgerald not quite the star in coverage that is he in the box yet

Not sure what he was trying to do on that play.

 

[MCC_Cat]

Gotta get off the field on 3rd and 8. Twice they didn't on that drive.

 

[TheC]

Not sure what he was trying to do on that play.

He was playing the curl and that TE gave him a nice shimmy move like a WR

 

[IMC Cat]

Will NU score a garbage time TD or get shutout again. Let's sit thru another 90 minutes of commercials together and find out!

 

[jensberg]

200 yards of offense for them 50 for us. Not a recipe for Success especially since we can't pass at all.

 

[DaCat]

It was tipped because he forced it into triple coverage. He's going to have to get other WRs involved.

How dare you argue with someone who knows ball. LOL

Stone single-handedly killed at least two drives, if not more. That fumble was embarrassing.

Not looking very likely now.

Just run it down their throat to open the half. Putting it in the hands of Stone killed our drives everytime.

This is obvious to everyone except the guy calling the plays for us.

 

[Cool Cat]

I hope there's not any WR recruits watching. We have 1 catch for 8 yards to WRs.

On the first offensive play of the game for us. Nothing since.

 

[DaCat]

Stone has been awful so far. He panics easily, and I’m surprised at his lack of arm strength. Just as a benchmark, the Oregon QB has an elite arm. Stone is not even close. The difference is glaring. But if he eliminates his mistakes, he can still be good, but at this point not too hopeful.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

I think Stone is just trying too hard.

He sure doesn't look like it. He's the love child of HuJo

 

[eddie_gocats]

Too bad our O sucks… wished they leaned more into the run. Seemed the line making holes.

 

[Cool Cat]

We're still in this game. Stop the mistakes and run the ball. A mistake free first half and we would be looking at a one score game.

 

[jensberg]

If Stone keeps playing like this even again say UCLA do you think our coaches will ever give Boe a shot

 

[Cool Cat]

Would it be a mistake to give Boe the 2nd half?

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Reminder that Mike Wright lost his job after ONE bad game

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Might as well have stuck with Lausch. He wasn't any worse.

 

[GECat2]

The tell with Stone will be the UCLA game. If he stinks in that one than the OB competition will begin.

 

[TheC]

That route across the middle has been deadly for us

 

[Cool Cat]

We're carving them now!!!!

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Yay rushing offense

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

FIRE LUJAN NOW.

 

[TheC]

Fire Lujan this second!!!!

 

[989bjm989]

Gotta get rid of the ball there or step up into the pocket!!!

 

[989bjm989]

Ouch

 

[AdamOnFirst]

That is a heinous play call. Passing offense is horrible and you call the play action on 3rd and 1 with the run game going well? Terrible

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

That reminded me of the ending of the Duke game last season.

 

[TheC]

Our WRs SUCK!!!! I sure hope we aren't paying them for this

 

[Cool Cat]

Dammmit Boy!

 

[CatManTrue]

Pathetic.

 

[prez77]

sack on third and 1; drop on 4th.

 

[JimStarr777]

Can’t blame Stone for that, fellas.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Jesus dear lord our receivers are hideous. Slow, bad hands…

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Stupid call on 3rd. Good play on 4th...and then

 

[AtlantaCat]

That play call was as colossally stupid as the OT call in the Duke game last year.

 

[TheC]

Can’t blame Stone for that, fellas.

Enough suck to go around for this offense
