Ugh

 

[HawkCat]

Wow. We are getting our arses thoroughly kicked so far.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Being out coached

Seems like our quarterback is playing the way he played at Michigan State when he was their quarterback not the guy we've seen at our place

 

[Gocatsgo2003]

Bad eyes from Smith on the back side.

Everyone settle down a bit. MSU is clearly in “F it” mode, made a handful of 4th down conversions and missed one. Lotta game left.

 

[jensberg]

All this talk about how great we are and how we might make the college football playoffs and all that must have gone to our head or something cuz this team looks terrible

 

[Drilcat]

We just need to settle down and play our game.

Dude. It hasn't even been a full quarter in a road game with a lot of emotions on both sides. Settle down.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Rough second down spot tbh

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Well we certainly don't look like a top 25 team that's for sure

MSU coaches put together a good scouting report. So it's time for our coaches to make some adjustments. It's certainly way too early to panic.

 

[eddie_gocats]

What a **** 1st qtr… let’s keep this drive going

 

[AtlantaCat]

What the heck is Kelly doing???

 

[989bjm989]

MSU is all in to stop the run. We need to see more Wilde Wagner et al

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

What the heck is Kelly doing???

We're moving the ball this drive.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Lol, need 15 yards? Just go to Himon

 

[989bjm989]

There we go Cats!!!

 

[eddie_gocats]

**** yay!

 

[HawkCat]

Righted the ship there.

We're moving the ball this drive.

Sorry...my post was delayed for some reason.

 

[BosCat]

OK -- let's get the d going now!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

That safety had neither the capability nor the inclination to tackle Komo, lol

 

[Gocatsgo2003]

Clearly a better plan that drive. MSU’s LBs are flowing really fast, Chip is coming up with answers.

 

[Deeringfish]

Well, between you guys and game tracker, it sounds like NU is back on track

 

[RockfishCat]

Let’s $)&&7))@ goooo!

now, can Timmy Mc G dig deep into his inner Hank

 

[AdamOnFirst]

His name is Braden Turner

 

[RockfishCat]

Braden!!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Lack of pass rush is hurting, especially with that being a huge MSU weakness

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Walters out is very uh oh

 

[Gocatsgo2003]

Doesn’t have to, IMO. I don’t think MSU can consistently execute all game, even if Fitz is in “F it” mode and playing 4-down football most of the time.

 

[Gocatsgo2003]

Walters out is very uh oh

Pretty sure he will be back. Got wrenched back awkwardly with friendly fire, didn’t look significant.

 

[eddie_gocats]

HOK!

 

[eddie_gocats]

Glad 11 is not that good

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

I think Fitz should've punted there, try to pin us back.

Fitz knows he's allowed to punt, right?

 

[Deeringfish]

Score here and take the crowd out of it

 

[Deeringfish]

Even FG

 

[NUinIAFan]

. Time to makea move NU!!!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Drew Wagner…
