Game Thread: Northwestern vs. South Dakota State

Oh man.... this doesn't look good

 

[olsh]

Punter was the No. 1 recruit IN THE NATION. He's in his own head so bad now. He's got the kicking yips. Choking so hard, it's sad to watch.

 

[olsh]

Does he have a different technique? It looks slow and like he doesn’t really step forward.

Was gonna say, I know NOTHING about punting, and it looks off.

How did it look to those watching at home? Looks grim here

Kid needs to grow up or move aside.

They showed the replay and I couldn’t see anything. I genuinely don’t understand what happened. It seems upper body as they’ve cut off his shoulder pads.

He got a knee to the top of his head, compressing downward into spine

 

[olsh]

This is terrible. Praying. No idea what happened, and couldn't tell from replay.

The opposing lineman fell with all his weight onto Carsello’s neck as he was down.

He got kneed in the head pretty hard.

To me, it looked like he took a knee to the head from a teammate as he was going down.

 

[catcrazy]

Who is down not able to get the game

 

[loyolacat]

he is raising a thumb up......better than not....best case concussion?

I just watched it again and I still don’t get it. He got hit in the head twice but not hard. He got whacked in the helmet by a knee late and his neck snapped a little but it wasn’t a high contact play, I don’t know. Hopefully just a mild concussion or neck strain?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Wagner is open a lot for sure

 

[AdamOnFirst]

WHEN OT LOOKS GOOD THOUGH ******* IT LOOKS GOOD

 

[eddie_gocats]

Now that’s a drive we expect!

 

[TheC]

There we go! Don't think... just throw!

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

A touchdown would sure be nice here.

 

[loyolacat]

komolafe slowly working his way onto my all time NU fav list. Come a long way since a freshman

I took a long time to warm up to him last year, too long frankly, but he’s a horse

 

[eddie_gocats]

Hello 84 on the drive!

 

[Harris_Island]

Just when you thought the wheels were coming off... there's #5 in for the TD

 

[freewillie07]

Amazing response from the team in response to a long time seeing their captain down. More of that urgency and intensity, please.

 

[BosCat]

Nice to get in red zone, nice to score in red zone

Never seen a worse performance

 

[Harris_Island]

Looks like 95 Mason Mayne and 55 Dylan Roberts getting some reps at DT

 

[TheC]

Man, Fitzgerald can tackle

 

[Jaguar 88]

Nice drive!!!! Hope they are starting to heat up. That first half was awful!!!! They need to get it together fast. They need to win all their non conference games to even get shot at a bowl. Only a couple of other B1G teams look sort of weak during week 1.

 

[loyolacat]

So far the defensive backfield is the group saving our behinds.

 

[Harris_Island]

Fussell seems to be having a good game. I think #4 Pate is rotating with Adeyi?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

They just said Carsello has a neck injury but is moving all his limbs and the on field stuff was “precautionary”

I think Ore got dinged

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Some of us thought this would be a battle...

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Our backs are multi-phase weapons as promised

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Has Chip Kelly always called plays from the sidelines?

No .. they said he was in the booth at Ohio State

Is there a booth at Lakeside?
