Game thread for Northwestern vs. Iowa

Petras 6.of 7

 

[jensberg]

Of course we're making their quarterback look like an All-American like we do every week for whoever we play against. Just amazing how many missed tackles there have been already

 

[The Purple Knight]

Early line: OSU -82 v NW

 

[stpaulcat]

FITZ! JON!

 

[corbi2961]

Doesn’t say much for the coaching if you’re losing to SIU and likely going 1-10

No argument from me on that.

 

[PurpleFaze]

Iowa already has half their avg yards per game on offense and frankly look to be doing pretty much whatever they want against our D. But hey don‘t worry, Fitz says he sees lots of progress

 

[Jaguar 88]

More than just a shot. he is an NFL player. The question is when. The irony of this season is that we will have 3 players drafted in the NFL and Hull could make it four if he comes out.

Sorry I don't see it. Our offense is so piss poor, it doesn't give him a platform to show what he can do compared to other programs.

 

[TheC]

Watched UConn beat Boston College earlier today. I have no doubt we would lose to UConn these days.

 

[DaCat]

Another Saturday **** show brought to you by Pat Fitzgerald.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me, "don't lie"
You work at a smile, and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down, and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

 

[TheC]

Another LB missing a tackle

 

[corbi2961]

Sorry I don't see it. Our offense is so piss poor, it doesn't give him a platform to show what he can do compared to other programs.

Lucky for him NFL scouts are not as clueless about football as you are. Hull is a sure fire NFL player if he stays healthy.

 

[TejasCat]

Just fire the DC now

[bringbacktherantboard]

LOL

 

[GECat2]

We are a public embarrassment. Not going to the OSU game. Will not sell my tickets but I will stay home.

 

[samuirocks]

Yeah but everything is fine according to Fitz. Nothing to see here.

Offense is boring and predictable.

Defense is just plain putrid. Poor schemes and badly coached.

 

[DaCat]

"Iowa's first offensive touchdown in 3 games." (30 possessions)

 

[TerraCat]

Early line: OSU -82 v NW

What do Wisconsin and Iowa have in common? Bad offenses that look amazing against JON! The first offensive touchdown for Iowa in weeks...

 

[eddie_gocats]

Are we still the best 1 win team in CFB?

I think the over bet won.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Iowa scores it 1st td in 3 games against our defense. Don’t see our offense scoring against their defense which is pretty good.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Are we still the best 1 win team in CFB?

No, we're the worst 1 win team in CFB.

 

[PurpleFaze]

Jeezus fire JON at halftime already and let the healing begin. It’s beyond obvious he’s clueless and was a turd of a hire

Be less humiliating for JON to be fired versus there being more tape of the results of his coaching

If Fitz really likes the guy he should fire him to stop the weekly pantsing on tv. Have some pity on the guy

 

[SDakaGordie]

I know JON is abysmal, but the fact that we get zero QB pressure is an indictment of the DL players. We’ve all criticized the LBs, and rightfully so. And we’ve had injuries in the secondary. There ain’t much left of the D, and then we add JON.

 

[eddie_gocats]

The wave!

 

[stpaulcat]

We can still win the West. Only 11 points away from still being on track for the title.

 

[Jaguar 88]

Lucky for him NFL scouts are not as clueless about football as you are. Hull is a sure fire NFL player if he stays healthy.

Right, you go thinking that there pal. Running backs are a dime a dozen and there will be a plethora of them that come out every year. Like I said before, unless he has some real breakthrough type games, the system will not give scouts a fair look at what he can do. I hope you are right, he is a good kid, but I just don't see him getting drafted, maybe UFA.

 

[DaCat]

No blitzes, no disguised coverages... nufin. Our defense is set up to fail.

Combo of two things- we don‘t seem to be that great at identifying talent and then can’t coach the talent we do have to improve.

 

[NUCat320]

At least after this game Fitz can’t bs about goals in front of us

Part of winning the West included losing this game! So, still in front of us!

 

[NUCat320]

A touchdown. Still haven't.

Now they have

 

[PlayStrongPlayProud]

Why are you so cocky about everything? You’ve had more than your fair share of embarrassing predictions.

Be a great 3rd down back. Should be throwing to him way more than we do

Idk what our bet ended up settling at with Madrigal and Hoerner, but double or nothing that Hull never gets 1 single NFL regular season carry

 

[eddie_gocats]

Sully train getting going…

There are also more jobs for RBs, though. Rather than have one featured back that fields most of the carries, teams now usually have two or even three RBs who see significant carries each game.

 

[NUCat320]

7.1 yards per play… that’s so JON!

Juicing
Offensive
Numbers

 

[cattul]

It was nice to see one of those screens break for a good gain.

 

[Jaguar 88]

Like I said before running backs are a dime a dozen. The archaic system won't let him showcase his potential.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Positive yards on the Wildcat?
