[BFDCat]

Unbelievable

 

[eddie_gocats]

[Sheffielder]

[TejasCat]

Unreal! Go Cats!

 

[989bjm989]

Good to see the Cardiac Cats back in business.

 

[GeauxCatsGeaux]

Is Chiles the greatest QB who ever lived? Wow what composure in the 4th quarter.

[Rodenthater]

Unfreakin beautiful!!!!’

 

[stpaulcat]

Unf'ing believable! Poo to the naysayers.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

ALL PRAISE TO AIDAN

Braun tried to absolutely gift wrap that game away

 

[EvanstonCat]

This said, there will be good reason for us to drop out of the polls after that one. But, I imagine most voters will look at a win and 5-1 and keep us in.

 

[eddie_gocats]

AC … making me 🥹

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Well good teams find a way to win. Great game and loved the way the Cats stayed in the game to come back to win. Complete finish by the defense, special teams and offense to nail the win. Yes! Go Cats!

NGL…Maybe better not to be ranked

 

[EvanstonCat]

Btw do we have a great kicker or what?

 

[Drilcat]

Though I feel sorry for Fitz who had his team ready for this game, I am so damn happy and on cloud 9! Winners find a way!

 

[NUinIAFan]

Wow. What a finish!

Why are people feeling sorry for Pat “1-11” Fitzgerald?

He lost 11 straight games heading into this season.

 

[EvanstonCat]

I’m still perplexed by how we looked so good against all the other teams we played, but played so wretched against this 2-5 team.

 

[Skunkpilot]

I’m shaking!!!

Let’s not forget to give Wilde credit. Those two catches on the final drive were big time, NFL level plays. The guy reminds me of a Cooper Kupp type WR.

He’s still a Wildcat hero for his contributions to the program

Excellent point

 

[Arlcatsfan]

I can't believe we won. AC and Griffin Wilde on that last drive and Kleather on that game winner. AC with a bloody lip on the post game interview. WHEW. That was something else

 

[CappyNU]

That adds one win for Braun to the come back from a halftime deficit column, and one more loss for Fitz in the lose when leading at halftime column.

 

[GECat2]

MSU found the most FITZGERALD way to lose a game!!!!!!!

 

[stpaulcat]

Still the Cardiac Cats!

You’re an ahole.

I love his final contribution… hiring Brauny!

I think it was more about Fitz getting Sparty ready for this one to be honest. I don't think we were taking the game lightly and I actually don't think we played "badly" so much as Sparty played pretty well and go up for this one.

 

[AtlantaCat]

Painful game to watch, then exhilarating. But for some reason, I feel good about a close, last-minute win that must have been an agonizing gut-punch, WTF loss for the losing coach.

Go Cats.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Thank you Flakes!

 

[eddie_gocats]

Last minute I had confidence that we will drive it and win… haven’t felt that way in awhile!

 

[AtlantaCat]

We could use #55. What a beast.

Thrilled for the win but many questions going forward. MSU is not good and NU seemed unprepared which is alarming.

 

[stpaulcat]

I can forgive Braun for the busted fake play. Heck of a comeback win.

We did not play well at all. That’s on us, we are very fortunate.
