Glad my seats in shade

 

[SmellyCat]

Who leads NU in rushing today? Komolafe, Himon, or other?

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

In pregame segment not much positive was offered by the pundits. Dinardo to seems to dislike NU. (Sideline reporter Brooke Fletcher is quite attractive.)

 

[TerraCat]

Good first down! Let’s go Cats!

 

[eddie_gocats]

Timeout?

 

[CatManTrue]

UCLA’s defense is B. A. D.

We should win this big…

 

[eddie_gocats]

Timeout?

Not productive…

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Might be ok if the line wears them out

 

[Harris_Island]

Run blocking, Komolafe looking good. We've got to find a receiver outside of Wilde.

 

[TheC]

Need playmakers iinside the red zone

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Poor red zone offense after long drive. Not good to just come up with a fg instead of a td. We should be able to run all day on their defense.

 

[TheC]

Good Defense !

 

[eddie_gocats]

Ground and Pound Lujan…

 

[TerraCat]

Excellent play action call.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Wear em put guys. Good time of possession

 

[TheC]

Need 6 now

 

[DaCat]

Stone’s weak arm is on display again. His throws are high, and if his throw to Eligon had a little more mustard it would’ve been a TD.

 

[Harris_Island]

Touchdown off the bounce! Go cats!

 

[TheC]

Good play call to run outside

 

[eddie_gocats]

Hot Knife Through Butter…

 

[DaCat]

Good TD run, the ball is literally bouncing our way so far, could’ve been a disaster.

 

[TheC]

Stupid that the booth didn't call that. May not be watching this one

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Defense was Asleep at the Wheel on the fake punt. Poor special teams play on that one.

 

[TheC]

Need a spy on the QB. He's their only option.

 

[CatManTrue]

Defense was Asleep at the Wheel on the fake punt. Poor special teams play on that one.

They had three LBs and called the fake. UCLA busted it.

It gave them a spark. We’ll see if it lasts.

Sucks to see Adeyi hurt again

 

[Harris_Island]

Great to see the stop/sack on 4th down. Survived the fake punt. Run the ball and put this one away!

 

[TheC]

Our DBs must be stuck to their guys today

 

[eddie_gocats]

Wilde - our 1 and only receiver

 

[TheC]

Man... UCLA is really bad

 

[DaCat]

Wilde - our 1 and only receiver

The UCLA guy he beat for the TD tried to injure him after the play. Dirty player.

 

[TerraCat]

Is Fitzgerald Pat’s son?

 

[Cool Cat]

UCLA’s defense is B. A. D.

We should win this big…

UCLA and Oklahoma State should be forced to play each other every weekend for the rest of the season.

 

[TheC]

UCLA is holding our DEs a lot

 

[TerraCat]

Seriously, we need to put some pressure on this guy.

 

[DaCat]

UCLA and Oklahoma State should be forced to play each other every weekend for the rest of the season.

OSU getting a bit of a dead cat bounce.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Game ain't over, gents. We've lost stupider games than this

 

[eddie_gocats]

Still nervous…

 

[Rebel II]

Is Fitzgerald Pat’s son?

No, Robert is a safety from Houston.

 

[jensberg]

Still nervous…

As the announcers have stated several times their quarterback is essentially the whole team. Got to stop in on some of those runs, surprising we don't have a spy on him.
