Game Thread: No. 20 Northwestern at Oregon

[jensberg]

Good Lord how many missed tackles can we have

 

[Fanaticat98]

I cannot believe the tackling. By some of our good players as well.

 

[loyolacat]

are we scared to tackle?

 

[TheC]

This is not a CFP defense. Really poor.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

That fade ball is a problem

 

[Fanaticat98]

We’re cooked. With our D injuries and poor tackling we’d have to score a TD on all our remaining possessions to win.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Raiola is clutch today. He's dropping some dimes.

 

[jensberg]

Raiola throwing some incredible touchdown passes

 

[989bjm989]

man, we never even saw the ball in the air.

 

[stpaulcat]

DEFENSE! PLEASE!

 

[Deeringfish]

are we scared to tackle?

Looks like someone told them if you spin they will let go.

 

[cat inkansas]

We are going to need touchdowns because obviously we’re not stopping them

Defense not up to it today. Missed tackles.

 

[989bjm989]

D needs to step up.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

That fade ball is a problem

I usually hate when my team runs a fade because it's tough to execute. But if it's timed right, it's also not so easy to defend.

 

[BFDCat]

Painful

 

[jensberg]

As mentioned above our only chance to win is to outscore them

 

[NU Houston]

Isn't that how games are usually won?

 

[AtlantaCat]

#7 could not have played that worse.

And. NO PASS RUSH as usual.

 

[Deeringfish]

I wish we would just fair catch and guaratee the 25 yd line

 

[jensberg]

How did illinois' poor defense hold these guys to just 10 points?

 

[Cool Cat]

Give the ball to #6 and get out the way.

 

[Deeringfish]

Better pass rush. It's our biggest weakness.

 

[jensberg]

Give the ball to #6 and get out the way.

Surprised how few times we throw the ball to him or use him on a sweep or anything of that nature including the wheel route

 

[Deeringfish]

Their QB is confident we can't get to him.

 

[stpaulcat]

Ducks now passing at will

 

[GeauxCatsGeaux]

Here we go defense. Your time to shine.

 

[989bjm989]

Okay D. Time to do something special.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Need some TNT

 

[Deeringfish]

Surprised how few times we throw the ball to him or use him on a sweep or anything of that nature including the wheel route

They have been keying on him the last few games becaseu of his big play potential.

 

[Fanaticat98]

We’re witnessing a rare collapse of a Braun team.

 

[jensberg]

Assume we can't win this game then we have Iowa who looks fantastic and then Minnesota who's actually beating Indiana and of course Ohio state. Really need to win this one to keep things rolling.

 

[989bjm989]

How about another Riaola TO?

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

What an interesting call on 3rd down.

 

[Deeringfish]

no

no

 

[NU Houston]

Nice stop. Now we need a long TD drive to go back up by 10.

do you enjoy watching these games or is this a source of stress for you?

 

[989bjm989]

Love Chiles.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Nice pick from the ref on that run...

 

[Deeringfish]

WOW no tackeling
