Just caught up to live. The first half was a satisfying and convincing - if not quite inspiring - display of Neolithic, corn and hot dog fed football. MOSTLT reasonable wrinkles and misdirection other than the 2nd and 5 call and simple play action. The tackling is EXCELLENT. Just continue to pound on this team.

We get the ball to start the second half and we need to pile it on.

First half stats:
Stone 9-11, 104yds 1 TD, 0 INT
Wilde 6 catches, 83 yds, 1 TD
Himon 5-57yds
Komolafe 10-55

Keep it up, boys!!

I don’t think Saka was on the field during the end of that two minute drill. Why? Injured?

Starting to get anxious now. They moved the ball really well less Drive of the first half and moving again. Contrarily we didn't move the ball that well

Last 2 drives of first half actually. Momentum has definitely shifted.

Although their QB is their entire team, he is also the best player on the field. Hope he doesn’t beat us single-handedly. The effort by NU in the second half thus far has been lacking.

Their offense doesn’t have much beyond the mobility of the QB.

Still, this has been uninspired football in the second half.

Hopefully Stone didn’t get his bell rung on the targeting hit

When did we stop running between the tackles????

We had no blockers on two of their defenders on one play, and then the backside DE ran down our running back untouched. Lujans blocking schemes.

Good enough hold, I guess. Offense has to get back to the grind of turning this weak defense into beef jerky.

Nico Iamaleava doesn’t look durable enough to absorb so many hits.

Dude is tough.

I feel like I'd rather have Jake Butt as our offense coordinator

It feels like we have to switch someone out on every play, and then they get to. Wouldn't it be better to keep leaning on them?

He’s 6-6 215, and he looks like he’s a wirey and lean 215. He was 200 out of Hs, so he’s been putting on good weight.

I don’t disagree that’s he’s taken a **** ton of punishment already today, partially because NU has missed few opportunities to absolutely plaster him when he’s a runner, but he was a fit in Tennessee because of his big, tough body along with his big arm.

Still, the idea that if things the offense for the rest of year that he’ll miss time I’d have to agree.

Eligon is so slow the DB who got beat caught up too fast and committed PI getting there early

WRs who aren’t Wilde currently have -4 yards on 3 catches. Hunter Welcing carrying TEs with 22.

******* offense is terrible and now a blocked field goal. We don’t want to win this game.
