Game Thread: Las Vegas Bowl

[WestCoastWildcat]

Defense is doing their job. Offense inept so far. Was hoping the interception would have been returned all the way for a td - had a bad feeling the offense wasn’t going to score even when inside the 10.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Two Utes… LOL

 

[Deeringfish]

Nice that he could return it but it was still a 45yd net

 

[TheC]

Fire this damn OC at halftime

 

[Hungry Jack]

Not gonna snooker Utah D

 

[freewillie07]

Anyone else catch that look from Braun after Jake failed yet again? Exasperated smile.

 

[drewjin]

is Jaheem Joseph of any relation to Brandon? Because he’s playing like an All American.

2 picks so far, one more to go.

No, but he did go to the same High School as Anthony Walker. That's quite a haul for the Cats from Monsighor Pace HS. Perhaps we need to go back to that well early and often.

He must want to get fired. Cats may do just enough to lose.

 

[Deeringfish]

Defense is playing great! I think Hollis got lucky

 

[RevCat]

Not saying that our OC knows he is gone and is trying to screw us. That would be absurd. Like a third and inches fade to no one.

 

[freewillie07]

Defense is playing with some NASTY to them. I like it. Almost like they’re taking out their frustration with our O.

 

[RevCat]

Defense is playing great! I think Hollis got lucky

Truth on both.

 

[SmellyCat]

Two Utes… LOL

Finally

[WestCoastWildcat]

Nice series. Utah defense looks like they are tiring. Some excellent passes that led to the td.
Go Cats!

 

[wicker]

Mike Bajakian
Not Ara Parseghian.
Now more like Bill Walsh

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Braun all clean shaven and using the TOs

 

[TheC]

Making that FG would have been such a nice capper

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Geez make the fg. Great effort by the offense to get the ball down the field in the last minute to position for the fg. You got to make those.

 

[Deeringfish]

Making that FG would have been such a nice capper

yeah especially because of the series that set it up.

 

[Deeringfish]

Now what do I do for 15 minutes?

 

[Catreporter]

Olsen has struggled at the end of the season for some reason after being solid in several games, and accounting for the winning points against Maryland. Should be 10-0. Hope that doesn't end up burning us.

 

[NUCatswin]

outplayed them significantly but only up 7...

 

[Ch23701]

With a little luck…..could be 20-0!

 

[Deeringfish]

Joseph is having a resume' game.

 

[freewillie07]

“Should” be 17-0 at minimum. Two chances to convert from a yard out and failing is inexcusable. Yet sadly all too common for a Bajakian offense.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Bastone made him an offer he couldn't refuse

 

[TheC]

Loving this pass rush!

 

[freewillie07]

Loving this pass rush!

Same. Utah’s QB with eyes on the transfer portal has to be feeling pretty lousy.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Back to Iowa offense

 

[eddie_gocats]

Baj is out…. Good luck

 

[Deeringfish]

Kicking game is disappointing a little

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

We are great this year on turnovers. Our defense is playing lights out. Leave the defense on the field to see what they can do with the ball!

 

[TerraCat]

Second effort by this team is spectacular! Go Cats!

 

[TerraCat]

Bajakian is truly a joke! Horrible play calling!

 

[Deeringfish]

What was that hand off on third and 9?

 

[TheC]

Another wasted opportunity. If we lose this game, we will feel sick.

 

[Deeringfish]

We will feel better when Baj is fired,

 

[Hungry Jack]

I’d rather have Dua Lipa as OC
