Northwestern vs. Indiana 1st Half Open Thread

[TejasCat]

no way that was a first down, what the hell they looking at

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need to force these guys that run

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Make make them kick a field goal

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Great stop

 

[FLCat07]

I thought you couldn't go at a QB's knees when he's throwing? Is that a NFL rule or does it only apply when the QB is in the pocket? That could have been a very dangerous outcome for CT on that throw with the defender coming in at his legs.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Let's get a nice balanced drive going

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We want to Wisconsin win over Iowa

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Car is a great open field Runner

 

[Alvious]

WTF was that on 4th down?

 

[TejasCat]

when is last time we converted on a fake FG or punt? could be momentum killer there

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Take the points right there

 

[FLCat07]

This has been a great coached game so far, but you either kick the field goal or go for it on 4th and 3 with your offense firing mostly on all cylinders. Bad decision right there.

 

[plevs]

Stupid fake FG. Game changer

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Nice stop

 

[corbi2961]

Game changer? What game are you watching? NU is in total control right now. Obviously Fitz was not comfortable kicking a FG from that distance. IU had no Timeouts left and NU thought they could catch them unprepared.

 

[Smokejumper]

Missing gdick a bit this game...

Otherwise, this has been really fun to watch. Everyone is getting involved!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Clemente From Wisconsin fumbled at the goal line

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

10th ranked in country my arse we could beat Wisconsin

 

[YesterdaysCat]

10th ranked in country my arse we could beat Wisconsin

We will find out. Their southpaw QB throws slow, floating lame ducks.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

We want to Wisconsin win over Iowa

Why?

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

McShepherd looks solid

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Clayton is getting some confidence I want to see him against Ohio State rock and roll

 

[ColumbusCatFan1_rivals]

Why?

For division placement.

NU will likely lose at OSU next week. We need Iowa to drop one more game this season to stay ahead of them in division, might as well pick up that loss today. Wisconsin already has two conference losses and still has to play NU.

Nebraska will almost certainly need to lose 3. @Wisc, @OSU, @Iowa

 

[Alvious]

This half is not starting out too great. If #71 makes his block on that 2nd down play, JJTBC might have been off to the races.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Oh my God Godwin

 

[Alvious]

O-line MIA in 2nd half.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need to stop and scorehere

 

[Fitz51]

Stupid fake FG. Game changer

In the sense that there had not yet been a fake FG, yes. It changed the game!

 

[corbi2961]

O-line MIA in 2nd half.

Nothing much different with OL. IU defense has perked up and committed to stop run and short passing game.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Let's crash the end we need to sack her

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need to stop here our defense looks good

 

[Alvious]

Not the same Hoosiers team from the 1st half. that's for sure.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Sloppy defense be stopping here

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need to respond

 

[Gocatsgo2003]

O-line MIA in 2nd half.

Not helpful that North is out. Thomas better figure it out. Quickly.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

I like Solomon Jay Jackson needs to run here

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need to get Austin Carr the ball

 

[WoodersonCat]

Boy, I thought we had torn this page out of the playbook, never to be used again.... But it appears we're going to the ol' "let's play conservative and run the ball and play "bend but don't break" defense and take the foot off the gas" gameplan.

This game may very well go down to the last play as a result.

 

[WoodersonCat]

And just as I type this, we bring the house and get the sack! Love it! Zero points. Missed FG!!
