Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Minnesota

[AdamOnFirst]

We’re letting these ************* linger in the game and they get away with an obvious hold

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

The problem with putting the running QB in is that the opponent knows it's a running play.

 

[TheC]

This is how we lost last week. Man... hate to miss a bowl because of more of this crap.

 

[Fanaticat98]

There was a pretty bright white indicator of a defensive hold on that play. Another throw that was probably right on for a TD if he hadn't been slowed down a fraction of a second.

The problem with putting in the running qb is the running qb can’t run the option well

Stone looks excellent.

He is having a good game. One questionable throw to Eligon that got tipped and he caught it.

Also he's stepped away a couple of times from trouble

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Where was that touch back last time

 

[jensberg]

208 yd to 8 yards. Should be up by 14 or more

 

[stpaulcat]

The Gophers will beat you with goofy plays. that's why they're called the Goophs.

 

[Cool Cat]

We WON'T lose to this team. Hell, they don't have 20 yards of offense.

It’s better than good, in my opinion and the announcers at least.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Who is worse at 3rd down defense than us?

 

[Fanaticat98]

Another 3rd and long completion. We’re about to be behind in a game where we should be up 3 scores.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

I’m pissed

 

[TheC]

3rd and 15 conversion. Happens a lot to this D.

Thats been the gophers entire season.

Not anymore.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Are you kotherfucking kiddujd me

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

OF COURSE there's a flag.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Here's the plan: dominate a team for the whole half, but then fall behind. Got it?

 

[eddie_gocats]

This f’in sucks

 

[TheC]

Just playing bad football.

 

[HawkCat]

Utterly depressing.

 

[DaCat]

FRICKIN refs

 

[Hungry Jack]

Same guys who did the basketball game

 

[HawkCat]

Eight penalties so far in the half. This team is physically tough but mentally weak.

 

[SDakaGordie]

We gave up 500 yards last week. Hard to get real excited about our D.

 

[jensberg]

It's not the refs it's our mistakes and our bad plays just depressing

 

[Fanaticat98]

Glad my wife scheduled a concert so I have to leave now. This is going to end up with like 3 more field goals for us including failed red zone trips and from them at least 2 more TDs. We are WAY worse than MN at being an effective scoring offense despite our yards and our D after the first drive is mediocre.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Please no mas Boe

 

[TheC]

This is the crap that makes you want to see us try a new direction next year. Combine this with crappy recruiting and you have a recipe for bad football in Evanston.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

This is a sloppy penalty ridden game.
Defense giving up 3rd and long plays.
Pathetic we are behind in this game now after totally dominating. Stupid penalties killing drives and not able to stop 3rd and long plays.

 

[TheC]

We gave up 500 yards last week. Hard to get real excited about our D.

No pass rush

 

[989bjm989]

How about a score here Cats before the half to reclaim the momentum.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Special teams can kill you

The lack of a pass rush kills us on third down

Over officiating is ruining college sports

 

[AdamOnFirst]

We’re up 221 yards to 82 and down without turnovers

 

[Fanaticat98]

Wonderful, a 3 and out with over 2 minutes left. And then the get the ball back after halftime.

 

[Deeringfish]

How many times has Stone been deflected?

 

[DaCat]

I’ve never seen so many batted passes of our QB in decades of watching NU football

 

[HawkCat]

I am going to be so glad to never see NU football at Wrigley again.
