First-half thread for NU vs. MSU

[Turk_rivals223269]

Hunter needs to stop with the floaters and he needs to put the ball in stride when passing to tyrus. Otoh, he is doing good downfield but our offense is still doing 2 yrd patterns.

 

[Bwm57]

Hunter looking very nervous, but it’s still early. I hope…

 

[Figrating]

Such poor play calling on offense…

Nothing is working, and the running game is getting stuffed.

 

[jensberg]

Losing both lines of scrimmage maybe Anderson isn't as good a coach as we thought

 

[Turk_rivals223269]

My guess is 21-0 halftime.

 

[TheC]

Herbie Hancock playing the Detroit Jazz Festival streaming online right now. Makes for much better sound than listening to this playcall.

 

[kaTNap]

My guess is 21-0 halftime.

Want to revise that?

 

[bjm989_rivals]

This is brutal.

 

[DrillCat]

Oh.. sad sad situation

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Defense looked good for like 2 series now back to Colby style

 

[Turk_rivals223269]

Can we get a DE or LB on the back side? Our DC isnt adjusting every time they bring the house on the back side. Its not fair. 4 against 1.

 

[Figrating]

My guess is 21-0 halftime.

Hard to compete in this game without an O...

 

[NUCat320]

Officials are in the bag for the commish’s son’s team. Garbage. </s>

 

[ColumbusCatFan1_rivals]

Man, several blatant holds missed on that last Michigan State scoring drive. One on the scramble and two separate on the screen.

That being said, Bergin has to be aware of his surroundings. Can’t have that late hit.

 

[Turk_rivals223269]

Colby 2.0.
Time to fire the DC

 

[TejasCat]

Better execution and play-calling by them. We have to read that screen. Inexperience showing all over the place, but I thought we were stronger and faster, I don't see it.

 

[kaTNap]

We're getting our butts handed to us on both sides of the ball. You have a lot of work to do, Fitz.

 

[TerraCat]

Our defense just got completely trucked on that screen. This is honestly getting embarrassing.

 

[jensberg]

Didn't our coach say never again after 2019? I think he might have been wrong

 

[bjm989_rivals]

With so many changes on O and D, it would have been so preferable to play Indiana St or Ohio for game one.

 

[Turk_rivals223269]

Time to just get in some reps. Run down the clock. Maybe get a first down.
Overmatched. Not saying dark ages, but tyrus is too slow

Talk is cheap. Actually free.

I want to root for Hunter, but at some point you wonder if he just can't run an offense. We sucked the last time he was out there. Then a new guy comes in with basically the same players and runs a smooth show. Now we're back to this crap.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

8 months we waited for this.

 

[Turk_rivals223269]

Our punter is awful

 

[Catslash]

that dog don't hunt

 

[Figrating]

Coach Jake got some splainin to do

 

[Turk_rivals223269]

Its time to put in Hilinski. Hunter is the same hunter. Seen enuf. Gonna b a bad year with him.

 

[Turk_rivals223269]

Is Hilinski that bad????
We blow on O right now. Down big.

 

[Cat-Court-Jester]

Terrible coaching of our WRs: Malik Washington, your defender is not looking back and you have a slightly underthrown ball... FORCE THE CONTACT. Get the PI, 15 yards, First Down. Our guys are not playing smart.

Nah, Hunter hasn’t been bad. OL isn’t there right now. No push in the run game and inexperience at RB.

I like his connection so far with Robinson.

He's really tentative, which is to be expected I guess.

 

[Gladeskat]

Bring back Mick McCall!

Bring back Greg Colby!

Yeah, that was a text book time to draw a PI.

Springer has been one of the worst position coaches in D1. Only at NU would he have this level of job security

 

[TejasCat]

not impressed with tyus, no cuts, too slow to the hole and cant break a tackle so far. Clair looked way better.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Bryce Kirtz is legit

 

[TheC]

I don't think so. His recognition just looks bad. He simply isn't making plays.

Clair definitely looked quicker.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Great throw by Hunter!!!!
