First-half thread for NU-MSU

[TheC]

I think I am just going to accept that complaining about Northwestern football is my favorite past time.

 

[NWFAN66]

Wow a blitz

The more we ***** the better they play as the game goes on. See there is a sack

 

[corbi2961]

Is Tyler lancaster playing today?

 

[TheC]

Ok here we go. 3rd and 9. We will rush 3 drop 8 Get no pressure and qb will run for 1 st down

We actually blitzed!! And it worked!

 

[Hungry Jack]

Play action would be fun

 

[NWFAN66]

Who was thorson throwing to?????

 

[TheC]

Who was thorson throwing to?????

To one of our slow wide receivers who had no chance of getting open one on one.

 

[Fitz51]

That was tied for most predictable drive and starting position for the opponent in NU history. It’s quite a multiway tie.

Who was thorson throwing to?????

Nobody on our roster.

Is it me or is our offensive play calling just so unbelievably frustrating...?

 

[DrillCat]

CT.. sad. He needs to channel Persa Strong..

He has no feet. Can't perform if hs is being moved.

I just can't decide. We have WRs who have zero quickness and so can't beat man to man and we have an OL that can't run block... so not sure what an OC is supposed to do.

Yes

3rd down

Tight ends?

 

[Deeringfish]

3rd down

nice stop

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

There's a concept, let your FG kicker get you points

 

[Deeringfish]

Time to start moving the ball except for the incredibly mysterious play calling.

 

[TheC]

Of course, their kicker hits his career long against us.

 

[Deeringfish]

If we could just admit that CT cannot think on his feet and quit asking him to make decisions on the run, I think we would be ok.

 

[DrillCat]

Now that defense plays lights out, we get stuck with this offense. And this was the yr for us to win chamiponship..
Hope some lights come on inside CT’s brain now.

Not sure why its CT's fault. He has zero talent at WR and a line that can't run block. Its a lot to ask from the kid to be successful under those circumstances.

 

[TejasCat]

What's our longest kickoff return this year? More than 25 yards?

 

[Deeringfish]

Finally a break

 

[corbi2961]

Clayton is playing fine. Fumble killed a nice drive and defense needs to figure it out.

 

[Deeringfish]

Nice Catch

 

[stowbilly]

How about passing beyond line of scrimmage where receiver does not need to slip 5 tackles to make 3 yards?

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Better throw and that's a TD

 

[Deeringfish]

CT needs to take a little mustard off the ball on two yard passes.

 

[TheC]

That's why we have no long game. No WR can get any separation.

 

[TerraCat]

Awesome YAC by Jackson

Rees is a player! Let him from the"wildcat" formation.

 

[Deeringfish]

So predictable on and goal calls

 

[SmellyCat]

Awesome YAC by Jackson

The best play they have is screen to JJTBC and let him go.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Kick the FG - please

 

[Deeringfish]

Jackson looks gassed. Passing game wears him out more than running.

 

[TheC]

Uggh... our OL

 

[HawkCat]

So predictable on and goal calls

This.
