Game Thread: Northwestern at Penn State

[989bjm989]

OMG bad *** defense!

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Will they punt or go for it? Tough decision if the QB is hurt.

With the 2:00 warning and three timeouts, at this part of the field, I would think that punting it is the best option. But I don't get paid the big bucks for this.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Now I’m nervous…

 

[NU Houston]

They should have punted

 

[989bjm989]

Now go score 7.

 

[989bjm989]

Man we need a first down.

 

[TheC]

Do you run two times here? 3rd and 4th down?

 

[Deeringfish]

A FG would be huge here

 

[eddie_gocats]

Need a 1st…

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

A FG would be huge here

Not a chip-shot, though. If it's 4th and 2 or less, there's a good case to go for it.

 

[NU Houston]

D -

Do you run two times here? 3rd and 4th down?

No, you kick the FG. But let's not get to that point. Get the first down now!

 

[989bjm989]

Do you run two times here? 3rd and 4th down?

Runnings been good. Seems to me you ride with it. Kick a FG if we don’t get it but likely force another TO by them.

 

[zbag51]

Come on get the first down here!!!!!

 

[nickcat4]

A FG would be huge here

Or a first down

 

[989bjm989]

Theres also a good case to make to let our D win as well.

 

[TheC]

Komo power!!!!!

 

[chicagocatfan4]

That's a BIG BOY run by Komalafe

 

[TheC]

Game Set Match!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[989bjm989]

OMG never seen a player do something like that on an easy TD. Time to rekindle the NU smart brand.

 

[989bjm989]

So great by Himon. Love that intelligence.

 

[eddie_gocats]

PSU playoff’s chances… eliminated. Cue in squid games doo doo theme.

 

[zbag51]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BosCat]

 

[TheC]

And this is why we stay hooked to this game!

 

[Harris_Island]

GOOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Deeringfish]

OMG

 

[NU Houston]

Great Win, Cats!!!!!!!!

 

[zbag51]

Best win of Braun’s career? Gotta be, right?

 

[Deeringfish]

So great by Himon. Love that intelligence.

I didn't get it at first. It was brilliant.

 

[cattul]

That was such a terrific victory. So tense. So gritty.

Way to freaking go, Wildcats!

Edit: And FS1 calls it a two-game Oregon hangover.

 

[HawkCat]

Very satisfying! Way to go, ‘Cats!

 

[Hungry Jack]

Winnable game

 

[Cool Cat]

If I tell you tomorrow is Easter, go home and dye your eggs!

 

[eddie_gocats]

Go Cats!

 

[Rodenthater]

INCREDIBLE!!!!!

 

[Harris_Island]

These guys are blathering on about Penn State, nothing about all the fantastic play from the Wildcats

 

[Deeringfish]

I never dreamed NU would win this game

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Great win for the Cats. What a disaster for PSU and Franklin including having their starting qb carted off at the end. I loved how we didn’t score and just ran down the clock for the win. Seems like we could have run on the PSU defense the whole game. Nice balance between offense and defense today. We could have won this game by 2 td’s. Cats beat the spread on the road, again. Go Cats!

 

[TheC]

In other games..... bleepin' Indiana. Beats Oregon at Oregon. Unreal. You can't even accuse them of illegally buying their team because everyone buys their team these days.

Good thing that your weren't paid the big bucks
