First-half thread for the B1G Championship Game

[RevCat]

We don't need trick plays. C'mon. Cost us the MSU game

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Can't blame Lees there. Oh well.

 

[rogerkim]

Good play call. Poor execution. Move on.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

So, I think we try to pick up 10-15 yards here so that we can punt from midfield and try to pin them inside the 10.

I'm okay playing the field position game instead of picking up 27.

 

[Figrating]

Lees must learn what to do when those plays blow up...

 

[Deeringfish]

Trick play meant to really capitalize on the momentum but didn't work out.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

They keep talking about OSU’s 22 players out. Don’t we list 16 as a comparison...?? Why all the pity for OSU on this?

 

[rogerkim]

On the screen play on 2nd down, that might have been the first time I've seen Skoronski blow a block all year...

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

none of our guys are out due to Covid, so it doesn’t count.

 

[SLUCATS210]

Oh Brandon, I love you going for the scoop and score, but cover the ball man!

 

[NU Houston]

Gosh, it would have been nice to pick up that fumble. Joseph went for the scope instead of just jumping on it.

I'll settle for a stop on this 3rd down!

Got it that helps. Well I’m glad OSU didn’t have more players out due to Covid. Big Ten might have had to change the rules to allow players to play while positive.

 

[Figrating]

Couldn't ask for more in the first quarter - playing even with these talent-heavy mofos...

He's used to making big plays.
A recovery would have been big enough

 

[NUCat320]

I think it’s the right play. Had he batted it rather than tried to scoop...

 

[DaCat]

Not a bad start, up 7-3 at the end of first quarter.

 

[rogerkim]

Not a bad start, up 7-3 at the end of first quarter.

Yeah, I'll take that. I think that's as good of a start to the game as any of us could have hoped for. Love the energy the team is playing with. And love that they're not playing scared or that the moment is too big for them. No matter what anyone says, they came ready to play today.

 

[Deeringfish]

If we can get a first and a good punt that will be ok

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

What was Lees doing there at the 1? Didn’t seem smart.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

WTH was Lee's doing on that punt

 

[NUCat320]

Fields now 5-10 with an errant backward pass.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

What was Lees doing there at the 1? Didn’t seem smart.

He knows the rules. No harm.

 

[IAWildcat79]

2nd time we have run that pass concept...need to keep doing that until OSU adjusts

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

QB sneak here, come on.

 

[NU Houston]

Their backup punter is still pretty darned good...

 

[IAWildcat79]

That's just RCB being a great route runner right there...and great timing throw from Ramsey

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Don’t love the wildcat formation. Like the rest.

 

[NUCat320]

So many different looks, ballhandling tricks, shifts, and motion. Just beautiful to watch, like modern football.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Well good drive starting from our 4 yard line. Let’s at least get the FG

 

[Deeringfish]

KUBS!!!!!!! Go Cats!!!!

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

From our 1 yard line!

Yes, have to try the FG.

 

[NU Houston]

Nice kick, Kuhbander!!!!!!

 

[Titanium999]

Charlie has been money all year

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Success!

 

[Deeringfish]

KUBS!!!!!!! Go Cats!!!!

I try not to drink before 6:00 PM but I'm finding toquilla in my coffee is helping me get through this exciting game.

 

[DaCat]

Keep it up Cats!!!

 

[corbi2961]

From our 1 yard line!

Yes, have to try the FG.

It actually started from the six yard line, where OSU first contacted the punt.

 

[FightingMethodists]

Nice drive...keeping the defense rested and tacking on 3 more!

 

[Figrating]

Pretty good result, coming from NU 6.

Kirtz looks like he wants more PT and is earning it.
