Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Penn State - New Ryan Field opening!

[AdamOnFirst]

So this Dorsey… who is hurt?

 

[jensberg]

I was wondering the same thing amazing that we would lose another defensive back

I don’t know for sure if we’re in dime perhaps

 

[jensberg]

We don't need the score but we need to move the ball and run the clock out a bit just to be safe

 

[AdamOnFirst]

I could have thrown it better than that

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Still a 3-score game.

 

[TheC]

Took a lot of time. And with the 2 point miss, I don't think they'll have enough time unless we make mistakes .

 

[eddie_gocats]

Need to make it a 4 score game… no mercy

 

[Deeringfish]

I could have thrown it better than that

There was a defender bearing down and he is not a QB. That's why pressure matters.

Yeah. Turnover free football does it.

 

[NUcats92]

Barring a disaster quarter we should be ranked right next week

Nah bc its jNW in the media’s eyes zero respect…..

 

[Rodenthater]

Why is the place half full

 

[AdamOnFirst]

I don’t know for sure if we’re in dime perhaps

JK, he’s in for Pate. Unclear why.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Why is the place half full

People can’t stick around just to watch us pound on some pipsqueak like Penn State

 

[TheC]

Too many empty seats. And at such high ticket prices, the casual fan may not come.

 

[jensberg]

Yeah it was pretty obvious in those last scenes how empty the highest level is but maybe a lot of people left early thinking came over

 

[jensberg]

Good job running a lot of time off the clock I think we're safe now

 

[TheC]

Yeah it was pretty obvious in those last scenes how empty the highest level is but maybe a lot of people left early thinking came over

It's looked empty up top all night to me

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Our backs are awesome. Sawchuck has looked like probably the best ball carrier the first three games with Himon the Lightning guy and pass catcher and Komo with the most versatility but behind the other two, so of course Komo comes out and looks like a ******* beast tonight while Himon continues to hit bombs

If Iwas a PSU fan I would have left by now. Beat the traffic.

 

[Drilcat]

Sad the stadium is half empty already on this historical day.
Unlike Fitz, Braun would at least try to get a FG to run up the score.
Thank you, Coach Braun!

This has been a perfect night, but not surprised by the empty seats.

The students have been incredible, but our fan base is still our fan base. I hate to say it, but it’s true. Hopefully wins like this remedies the situation, but it will take some time.

 

[Fanaticat98]

Looked like it filled in pretty well by second quarter then some people left at halftime due to us dominating and the late hour (for old people).

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Chip and Jerry are effing on Aidan’s *** tonight lol

I offended Sawchuck. What a run.

Massive Melt Down.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Over 400 yards rushing! What an incredible job by this line and these backs tonight.

 

[Deeringfish]

Over 400 yards rushing! What an incredible job by this line and these backs tonight.

I think I would have been happy with 400 total offense.

 

[Fanaticat98]

Komo owns PSU.

 

[Drilcat]

What did I say? Fits would have ran the middle to get stuffed and turn the ball over. Braun ain't doing that crap.
Go cats!

 

[TheC]

The running backs will get all attention after this game, but the D was great. PSU only had one real TD drive and that was when we were in a prevent defense, causing them to use a lot of clock.

 

[AtlantaCat]

Effing incredible play, Fitzgerald!!!!

 

[BFDCat]

What a win, Go Cats!

Yep. NU fans generally suck. At least the students showed up. It is mind-boggling to me that NU fans buy tickets and then either leave early or don’t show up at all. This team deserves better.

 

[Rodenthater]

SWEET!!!!

 

[Drilcat]

Ahahahaha! We did not have to pass to win this BIG!!!
Go cats!!!!

 

[JustGary]

Game ball to the offensive line for opening up holes all game long

 

[GrandRapidsCatFan]

Incredible. Three or so years ago, I didn't imagine we would be sitting here today

 

[Deeringfish]

I don't think I have ever looked forward to a game as much as this one and to win it is such a blessing.
