First-half thread for NU vs. MSU

[Deeringfish]

Lees should have fielded that. Lucky the bounce didn't carry.

 

[jensberg]

We are badly losing both lines of scrimmage

I thought we just got a sack and a stop.

 

[Figrating]

Gotta start passing on these guys to loosen up the LOS...

 

[Deeringfish]

Nice pitch and catch

 

[Deeringfish]

Anderson won't be effective until the MSU D gets tired.

 

[Titanium999]

Run blocking needs work

 

[Figrating]

MSU is just all over our guys - saw a push after the play that the ref didn't notice..

 

[Deeringfish]

Keying on Bowser

Bowser looks slow! Needs to get going!

 

[Rodenthater]

The refs are keeping us in the game, but the ol sucks!

Both RBs need a little help from the OL

 

[NUCat320]

This feels like every other game NU has won when the other team has better athletes and NU is better at 60 minutes of discipline. Fingers crossed.

I’m no football expert, but if middle to deep throws are the only plays that work, why not just throw middle to deep until they make us stop?

 

[Titanium999]

We need speed at running back! Let Anderson get majority of snaps!

 

[Deeringfish]

It does seem like we are taking a few more long throws with HJ.

MSU looks pretty fast too.

I feel like Bowser hit the line faster last year.

Agreed! Screw the running! Holman needs to make that play!

 

[HawkCat]

Looked to me like the timing of that pass got thrown off a bit because the MSU guy grabbed Holman’s jersey mid-route.

 

[Deeringfish]

Agreed! Screw the running! Holman needs to make that play!

W start doing that all the time and they will tee off on HJ

 

[Alaskawildkat]

39 yards into the wind, nice job Kubander.

 

[Figrating]

Start passing first and often, McCall.

 

[Deeringfish]

2nd and 30
3rd and 25

 

[Titanium999]

Agreed! Put Drake in there or Hull! Defense looks good! We can win! Go Wildcats!

 

[Deeringfish]

lucky on the Punt

 

[Figrating]

Nice work, McCall - now we're pinned at 3rd and long again

 

[HawkCat]

Boy, the OL still has a long way to go.

 

[TheC]

How can our OL be both small and slow? MSU is beating us at every spot. Pathetic.

 

[Rodenthater]

Our talent level is no where comparable to MSU’s! Team speed is the difference!

 

[Deeringfish]

Are we telegraphing something on the run.

 

[cat inkansas]

lucky on the Punt

What is point of running into line----when we can't run into the line.

 

[HawkCat]

At least the D is tightening up.

 

[Deeringfish]

Looks like a good crowd

 

[Deeringfish]

Nice return I guess but where would it have been if he let it go into the end zone? Or would it have?
Bird in the hand, I guess.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Rushing yards have to be minimal.

 

[Deeringfish]

Rushing yards have to be minimal.

Year can't get any holes to open up.

 

[chariots]

That Bowser run makes it much more likely we finish the day with positive rushing yards
