Game thread: Howard vs. Northwestern

[The Purple Knight]

Gallagher is the king of missed tackles! He’s a revolving door. Simply aweful. Please play anyone else, including a walk-on !

 

[Deeringfish]

Fitz really decimated this program. I wonder if Gragg would have had the guts to fire him this year if the whole hazing thing hadn't happened.

I wonder if he took advantage of the scandal to do what he saw was necessary.

 

[Rebel II1]

Just win this 'effin game! Pure speculation.

 

[The Purple Knight]

Sullivan is awful, please play anyone else including a walk-on.

 

[PurpleWhiteBoy]

Not really sure what the cheatsheet says, but Howard should have gone for two.
16-8 is great.
16-7 and 16-6 are basically the same.

 

[TheC]

How are our OL so weak??

 

[Rebel II1]

That was a long drive by Howard. We can't afford a 3 and out by our O next.

Howard should have gone for 2?

 

[TheC]

Did your game go to commercial too?

 

[DaCat]

How are our OL so weak??

I wonder how much of that is the blocking scheme?

They know they have plenty of time for scores and have no fear of our offense

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Nice pass. I was having Illinois State vibes until then

 

[TheC]

Thank God for Cam Johnson!

 

[DaCat]

Nice throw by Sully. Smart play by Cam to get open.

 

[PurpleWhiteBoy]

Love to see some of our receivers go deep instead of coming back to the quarterback when he is scrambling.

 

[TheC]

Credit where it's due... that was a pretty play by Sully

 

[Deeringfish]

The picture quality of this broadcast is terrible. It's like watching and analog game on digital.

 

[Deeringfish]

How can nobody hold on to that guy?

 

[TheC]

Embarrassing. It's like watching a pee wee team trying to tackle.

 

[Fcmchi1]

The three man rush is giving their QB too much time.

 

[Deeringfish]

Again the announcer knew who it was going to and NU could do nothing about it.

 

[TheC]

The three man rush is giving their QB too much time.

The four man rush is giving their QB too much time

 

[Deeringfish]

The three man rush is giving their QB too much time.

Your are right. He is a much better passer with no pressure.

Doesn't look any better at Ryan Fueld

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Great things happen when you pressure the QB

See what I mean?

 

[DaCat]

Good stop by the D. Love the blitz on consecutive plays.

 

[Deeringfish]

that's funny!

 

[Deeringfish]

They should blitz the rest of the game.

 

[TheC]

Hurry.. snap it

 

[TheC]

Hurry.. snap it

I thought Cam stepped out before he got the first. Doesn't matter now.

 

[The Purple Knight]

Pate needs to play more.

 

[Deeringfish]

Won't they take a field goal here?

 

[PurpleWhiteBoy]

They should blitz the rest of the game.

if they blitz on 50% of the plays the rest of the season, so be it.
When you are overmatched in the front 7, you have to bring another body or two.

Except it's sad we're overmatched against an FCS team.

 

[Deeringfish]

Unbelievable

 

[DrillCat]

Oh lord. Haha.

 

[TheC]

That's why you kick the ******* field goal!

 

[Deeringfish]

That's why you kick the ****ing field goal!

Yes

 

[PurpleWhiteBoy]

Well, I really meant against Big Ten teams, although that touchdown run says you may be right.

 

[Koldfire]

We have been dominated on the line, both ways. Sad
