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

I expect to be able to score TD’s occasionally in the Red Zone. I expect to stop teams on third down once in awhile. I expect to beat Minnesota not Michigan. I expect to take advantage of flat teams. I expect ST’s to not negatively impact every game. WTF do you expect?

We are unfortunately not meeting your expectations time after time. Lots of blame to go around - it’s a team game.

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?

Well, if it’s insulting to say we had many chances to win Nebby, Michigan, and this game them I’m guilty. I am tired of the ******** that goes on with the football program. It sucks. Even if we miraculously pull out a win, changes are needed.

conversely, we have a BBall staff that is top notch and has the team prepared in all phases.

When you settle for 3points instead of 7 in the red zone give up a gigantic special teams play on a kick- off and your D can't get off the field on 3rd down giving up a 1st down on 3rd and 15 on a scoring drive well this is why we are down by 8 at the half.
I am a an optimist when it comes to NU football but this 1st 30 minutes today has knocked the wind out of my sails. If Fitzgerald is out we are in bad shape. The 1st possession of the 2nd half is huge. I have my fingers crossed but do not have any faith we can comeback. 30 minutes of football. Let's see what we got.

My expectations. Are they meeting yours? Are they meeting anyone’s. I typically stay off this game day threads, but it causes knee jerk reactions. It isn’t knee jerk when it happens multiple times.

Let’s see if they have the fire in the second half? I would expect the entire team should be spitting nails after that crap.

This is an inexcusable performance. I’ll be thrilled if we turn it around or win next week, but at this moment I’m very read to move on to the next staff

Right there with you. And I was very much not in that mindset heading into this game.

Beginning to sour on Braun and Lujan. Sad. This looks like coaching. If the Cats cannot pull this out I believe time for the change.
