Game Thread: No. 25 Northwestern at Michigan State

[HawkCat]

Really bad decision by Chiles on that sack. Had two guys open. But the biggest problem is we keep trying to run up the middle when our OL is getting devoured.

Kelly can’t find the spam play

Been a frustrating game to watch.

How do you reconcile this OL play vs. previous games? What’s changed?

Running game looks like the Indiana game, maybe even a little better than that game but similar.

Child's not having a good game missed wheel route again. And of course our special teams aren't very good. Just an all-around flat game just so sad

And unexcusable!

Yeah but IU, MSU is not.

Just horrible

 

[Rodenthater]

O line SUCKS!!!!

Well, they appear better-prepared than PSU. They nearly beat Illinois and they have losses against Nebraska and Notre Dame, so I don't see the evidence that they're absolutely terrible.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Eep

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Was Turner rattled on his first down hit?

 

[jensberg]

Well that's probably game over. We sure thought we were a lot better than this. So did all these analysts. Clearly were nowhere near top 25. Going to have to work hard now to even get Bowl eligible if we keep playing like this.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Mother ******

 

[stpaulcat]

That's not the game, but it's close.

 

[HawkCat]

Kudos to Fitz for having his team better prepared to play despite all the injuries.

 

[Drilcat]

It aint over yet

 

[cat inkansas]

O line SUCKS!!!!

Not as bad as the D line.

 

[TejasCat]

Never seen a more putrid 4 man rush - it’s like we aren’t even trying

 

[Anon1756236851]

O line SUCKS!!!!

And special teams.Plenty of seats available for Rutgers next week.

 

[989bjm989]

Game not nearly over but we have got to come alive. Maybe having to throw the ball more will help us avoid all these brutal runs for losses that put us behind the chains

 

[Gocatsgo2003]

We can’t impact a QB. It’s getting exposed.

NU thanks they are better than they are.

LOL, you are a piece of work.

 

[Catslash]

A little 25 ranking and 2 weeks to bowl eligibility hangover. Roasted asparagus or creamed turnips with that crow tonight?

 

[Drilcat]

Lets see what our coaches are really made of.

Better competition. And Schaller has really struggled in pass protection.

 

[HawkCat]

We are just getting eaten alive in the trenches on both sides.

 

[Anon1756236851]

He is correct.

 

[jensberg]

Well check back later and tell me if I was wrong that it's game over

 

[stpaulcat]

C'mon Chip, get your game on.

 

[HawkCat]

Let’s go!

 

[corbi296]

He is correct.

No he is not. Both of you guys are cynical losers.

 

[Itschiry]

Coaching, defense, and running game are supposed to travel well.

 

[corbi296]

Well check back later and tell me if I was wrong that it's game over

That won’t change the fact that your attitude sucks.

[989bjm989]

Great response and tie game! Okay can the D now step up???

 

[GeauxCatsGeaux]

Here we go. Dominate from here on out.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Clutch drive in all respects. Now our D needs to shut down any nonsense.

 

[Gocatsgo2003]

That was a big boy drive.

 

[stpaulcat]

That was a thing of beauty. C'mon defense.
