Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Minnesota

[AdamOnFirst]

Glad my wife scheduled a concert so I have to leave now. This is going to end up with like 3 more field goals for us including failed red zone trips and from them at least 2 more TDs. We are WAY worse than MN at being an effective scoring offense despite our yards and our D after the first drive is mediocre.

They aren’t effective either, we penaltied them into like seven chances inside the ten

 

[jensberg]

Several times he's deflected every single game whereas typically we get maybe one or none

 

[DaCat]

This is a sloppy penalty ridden game.
Defense giving up 3rd and long plays.
Pathetic we are behind in this game now after totally dominating. Stupid penalties killing drives and not able to stop 3rd and long plays.

I wish we stop dropping Saka in coverage on 3rd and long. Very poor use of him.

If we lose this game Braun and lujan should be fired. The touchdown play is Sanskrit to them and his recruiting is terrible

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

This team finds ways to lose games they should win

Without a doubt

 

[Catmandoo78]

We WON'T lose to this team. Hell, they don't have 20 yards of offense.

I mean, with the curse of Wrigley anything seems possible.

 

[DaCat]

Their QB is in rhythm and has too much time. Disrupt him with blitzes or something.

Other than Tulane, how does this statement make sense? We are rarely favored.

 

[stpaulcat]

MN starting to outplay the Cats, and the Cats are starting to play like "the Cats." What's with the Cat's all of a sudden?

 

[TheC]

Their QB is in rhythm and has too much time. Disrupt him with blitzes or something.

We don't have the speed for our blitzers to get to him

 

[jensberg]

All the momentum on their side now and if someone mentioned a bit ago they get the ball first in the second half. What a reversal of that first quarter.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Hope Braun calls over the turnover play with that TO

 

[AdamOnFirst]

**** this. These teams both suck ***.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Do you watch games

 

[eddie_gocats]

We are f’d… maybe we do want Fleck as coach.

 

[TheC]

It's time for a clean slate. This program is pretty atrocious right now.

 

[catcrazy]

Pathetic should be fired before he makes it to the locker room

 

[Hungry Jack]

Terrible

This comment aged like milk

Well, Minnesota is a bowl team already.

 

[989bjm989]

Just terrible.

LOL. You have no clue what you are looking at.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Under circumstances, worst half of the season.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Terrible

It would be interesting if it literally EVER worked, which it doesn’t

 

[SDakaGordie]

Do you watch games

Do you?

 

[jensberg]

At the rate this is going we're going to get blown out and lose five straight games. No chance to beat illinois. I've been a big supporter of Braun but after this I think he's got to go.

 

[LACatFan]

5 win season is in sight.

 

[MCC_Cat]

The Kilbane for Hubbard swap out isn't working well at all.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Im at the game. I volunteer to drive him to Ohare so they can fire him on the tarmac.

Edit but seriously Jackson seems to like him so I think we are stuck.

Seniors and expensive transfers all over the place and can't close one out to get 6

 

[DaCat]

Again a long kickoff return turned the momentum of the game.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Giving up the td late is totally demoralizing. Our offense couldn’t run out the clock and our defense couldn’t stop them to at least a fg. Sad.

This game sucks now after we totally had control. Long kickoff return turned around the game.

 

[stpaulcat]

I'm not sure the Cats can stop these guys.

 

[HawkCat]

We are not a bowl-worthy team.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Under circumstances, worst half of the season.

What did you expect after 500 yards given up last week? Do you watch games?

 

[TheC]

I'm not sure the Cats can stop these guys.

We can't score TDs either. Just a bottom tier program again. Need to a new direction.

 

[Deeringfish]

It appears that Minnie is the better team and our close loses were the result of teams looking past us to future opponents.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Do you?

Yes, but I remove my rose colored glasses before viewing

 

[SDakaGordie]

Do you watch games

BTW - went to DePaul and Michigan last week and I live in CT. Your response is insulting. You seem to do that a lot more to folks these days. What’s wrong?

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Penalties cost us points and gave Minny points. If we can play without penalties in the 2nd half we'll have a chance.
