Won the toss… yay

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Well this is quite odd

(also Deasfernandes)

 

[eddie_gocats]

Strange start… hope Fussels ok.

 

[HawkCat]

That first completed snap was fugly.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

3rd and 11 an effing killer

 

[AdamOnFirst]

They are way way way faster than NU

 

[AdamOnFirst]

WHY NOT US

 

[eddie_gocats]

Nice goal line stop…

 

[HawkCat]

Great stop on the goal line, but we have to stop conceding third and longs.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Indiana a little too greedy.

 

[freewillie07]

Fussel in street clothes and crutches. Dammit.

 

[NUcats92]

Really really hate the news on fussell

 

[HawkCat]

Are we the most injured team in America?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Fussell hurt bad is a disaster tho

 

[NUcats92]

Are we the most injured team in America?

Kinda of like my beloved Lions

 

[eddie_gocats]

Dangit

 

[loyolacat]

so who knows who screwed up?

 

[NUcats92]

Why

 

[AdamOnFirst]

…

 

[HawkCat]

This is not optimal. That just cannot happen. Is Carsello playing center?

 

[BFDCat]

Painful

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

It's frustrating that we're halfway through the 1st quarter and we still don't get to see the offense.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

That was pathetic. Looked like a Chiles mistake to me, but hard to know for sure.

 

[Fcmchi1]

Similar issue last week against Colorado. What?

 

[Jonny2TheP]

That was pathetic. Looked like a Chiles mistake to me, but hard to know for sure.

Nope, I was wrong.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Our defense is “hope Hoover misses an open receiver”

 

[freewillie07]

Our defense is “hope Hoover misses an open receiver”

Hasn’t been so bad so far…

 

[eddie_gocats]

Glad Mendoza not back there…

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

All things considered, it worked out. We only gave up 2 (not even a FG) and now we have the ball with a little more breathing room.

The offense needs to move the ball now and give our defense a breather. They're sure playing their hearts out.

 

[HawkCat]

Offense is a train wreck.

 

[989bjm989]

OMG offense. What is up?

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Offense really seems to have the jitters so far.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

We can’t even get the snap off.

defense playing really well.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

What the ****

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Probably a good timeout.

 

[eddie_gocats]

That drive … flush it

Nice punt!

 

[989bjm989]

sheesh. But great punt.

 

[HawkCat]

Who had a punt being our best play on their bingo card?

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

3rd and 11 an effing killer

Well we get another crack at it.
