Game Thread: Northwestern @ No. 5 Indiana

[JustGary]

Wideouts have zero catch with one target. Tight ends seem to be our targets today. Their DEs are killing us.

Yeah, the real mistake was not throwing the ball away when the play was initially blown up a few seconds earlier.

To be fair, there was a player in his face immediately and he was hounded the entire play. And he also wasn't out of the pocket (another condition to avoid a grounding call). I don't think throwing it away was an easy thing to do that play.

Game over

I’m afraid Chiles is cooked for the day. Holds it forever and takes another sack instead of throwing it away. I know he’s the guy but this is not his day. Maybe Marchiol will get some time.

 

[JustGary]

Game over

Unfortunately, you are right. Hopefully we don’t give up a lot of points this half.

Good lord.... at least the score isn't terrible.

Good coverage by Indiana in 3rd down but Chiles needs to either run or get rid of the ball. Too much hesitation/indecision. The Indiana defense is dominating our offense. Our defense has kept up in the game so far.

No one has been open

Happy to see us continue to dial up pressures on third down

Their edges are athletic and disciplined enough that he can’t just get free and take off every play, there was nothing there

Great stop by the D ! Brus with the blitz on third down.

 

[loyolacat]

no reason to throw it away on 3rd down

Great call

 

[AdamOnFirst]

We seem to false start every time Chiles raises an arm to communicate something

 

[loyolacat]

Duece McGuire got beat immediately

 

[JustGary]

God our o-line looks so awful

 

[AdamOnFirst]

My lord is Daley destroying us

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Wow, Aidan.
He’s taking too many hits

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Chiles can ball, two amazing plays in a row

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Heroic run from Chiles.

 

[JustGary]

Aidan is awesome

 

[loyolacat]

is our oline that bad tonight or is their dline just that damn good

Duece McGuire got beat immediately

H

Duece McGuire got beat immediately

He is not really good

 

[JustGary]

Chiles is awful

 

[JustGary]

Chiles is awful

Just joking.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

is our oline that bad tonight or is their dline just that damn good

The latter definitely. The former a little. This is a lot of the same d line that dominated Ohio state and won them a national title last year.

also awesome coverage, even if there is an initial little pocket there is nowhere to go

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Way too many hits for Chiles

 

[JustGary]

Wow

 

[AdamOnFirst]

*******. ******* Chiles is good.

 

[Fanaticat98]

I cannot believe with this $&?)! show of an offensive game that we’re down by less than a TD in the back half of the 3rd Q??

 

[eddie_gocats]

COJONES GRANDE!

 

[BFDCat]

Maybe not over? Nice drive.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

I would take the points...

But that's why I don't make the big bucks.

 

[eddie_gocats]

I would take the points...

We did take the points…

 

[JustGary]

Please defense please

 

[DaCat]

12-7 now, beautiful call by Chip!!!

 

[eddie_gocats]

Need some TNT from the D

 

[989bjm989]

Holy **** AC dislocated his finger and then made that TD play.

Becker gets a call from his Dad the ref
