Game thread for Northwestern vs. Purdue

[phatcat_rivals223240]

What is Cam Mitchell hurt? That one change single-handedly is responsible for most of this drive which threatens to erase the last TD.

Yeah he's "questionable "

 

[DaCat]

Mitchell raised his draft stock today against Jones. Too bad he's probably done for the day now.

 

[1060Ivy]

Cats made it almost interesting for a quarter.

Now can they outscore a team for a half

 

[1060Ivy]

Some nice stops today on short yardage by D

Could have used one more there

 

[mountaindrew]

Nice stick by Uihlein on 4th down. I think we got a linebacker.

 

[NUCat320]

Let’s hold to a field goal. All our goals for today are still in front of us.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Yeah last week he was grabbing and missing. Ibrahim made him grow up in a hurry

Yes Sir. And we got a break on that 3rd down throw that shoulda been an easy TD. We're still in this game, and if the OL (and Jake) keep doing their thing.... this could be an interesting 4th quarter.

 

[DaCat]

O'Connell missed a wide open receiver, Hampton beat like a drum on that play.

 

[TheC]

Hull up the middle like 10 plays in a row. It’s a Fitz wet dream.

 

[NUCat320]

Let’s plan our two-point conversation play. I’m assuming we’re holding the Wildcat jump-pass for that specific instance.

Keep those hands warm, Duke.

 

[1060Ivy]

Hull over 100 yds for the day

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Dammit I hate Devin Gardner because he is a Michigan Puke but he's damn good as a color guy

 

[Fcmchi1]

Fitz going for two on the TD looms large again. Just like in Duke game this year and Wisconsin game in ‘19. Bad decision.

 

[1060Ivy]

Is there a reason that every Purdue LB and DB aren’t just keying off Hull on every play at this point?

 

[NUCat320]

Dammit I hate Devin Gardner because he is a Michigan Puke but he's damn good as a color guy

I Wikipedia’d him. Played two professional seasons in Japan. Sweet. I enjoy him a lot.


NU probably needs to pass sometime here? I’d imagine it’ll be in the next first and ten, a home run shot, if we get that chance.

 

[NUCat320]

It was the right call. Late enough in the game. Huge upside if they make it. (FG game.) Either way a Purdue touchdown ended it and a field goal did not.

He is. He's really good.

 

[DaCat]

He is. He's really good.

I like him. He made some really good observations.

 

[TheC]

Was there any doubt? Least suspenseful 4th down ever.

 

[SDakaGordie]

When have we ever done something good out of a timeout??

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

That was actually a fun game

 

[Fanaticat98]

Well that was more interesting than I thought but yeah, taking a sack on 4th down…ugh way to end our chances. Probably should have still run it on 4th and 4, such a low probability of completing a pass versus Hull fighting for 4 yards.

 

[1060Ivy]

OL played a solid game
D had some nice stops
Hull was solid as usual
Team didn’t give in despite being winless since UoN game

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

It would be nice to have that 3rd timeout now.

 

[Fanaticat98]

When have we ever done something good out of a timeout??

Also, if we hadn’t burned a timeout we’d have at least 45 more seconds.

 

[NUCat320]

Does NU have a throwback punt return?

Herrrrrre comes TYUS

 

[eddie_gocats]

Are we the best 10 loss team in the nation?

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Might have won with Sullivan. Freeman looked like a young Phatcat out there

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Are we the best 10 loss team in the nation?

No. We lost to an FCS team.

 

[TheC]

We have the offense of a bad high school team. It’s really incredible

 

[eddie_gocats]

Right! I perked up when I saw a pump fake… don’t remember if we tried a shovel pass this season or not.

 

[NUCat320]

Are we the best 10 loss team in the nation?

No. We lost to an FCS team.

Colorado hasn’t gotten their tenth loss yet, but I think NU is better.

Colorado lost to Minnesota by six touchdowns and their only win is a Nebraska-level victory over Cal. No FCS opponents.

 

[NUCat320]

Right! I perked up when I saw a pump fake… don’t remember if we tried a shovel pass this season or not.

On a Wildcat play Hull faked a shovel to Navarro once. I injured my neck trying to follow all the hand fakes.

 

[eddie_gocats]

He is. He's really good.

Wasn’t he the other QB in our legendary game M00N. Hard to believe Siemian is still in the NFL! So awesome.

 

[Rebel II1]

Are we the best 10 loss team in the nation?

Yes.

 

[DaCat]

Are we the best 10 loss team in the nation?

Who cares? What matters is.... 10 losses.

 

[corbi2961]

Mitchell raised his draft stock today against Jones. Too bad he's probably done for the day now.

Cats will have four players drafted in next year's NFL draft. Pretty amazing we won 1 game with this team. An indictment of the coaching staff.

 

[1060Ivy]

The team that just had 10 bad days. Ha

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Chillax… enjoy the last 5 quarters.

Lol, there is literally hundreds of threads bitching about every possible thing related to the program. Maybe I have a stick up my *** ( who wouldn’t after watching this for 2 years) but the game thread is usually you know for comments on the game!

You are right, I do need to chill ax and stay out of game day threads because they drive me nuts with never ending over reaction to every play either positive or negative.
