Official game thread for NU vs. NU

[CatsDad]

Outside of last year, we've been competitive with them since they entered the B1G.

Yes, but they are shocked today losing to a team with one first down and 30 yard punts.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

I really like our defense.

Yeah they are doing well. Hope they can sustain

 

[TejasCat]

Can they extend half time by 20 minutes to rest our defense?

 

[CatsDad]

They are going to need a break. We can't 3 and out. Good timeout to rest them.

 

[willycat]

Niswander's best punt happens on a block. That says it all about our special teams play right now.

Kicking game = bad recruiting. Mitchell is kicking off,YEA! Only took 8 weeks for the special team coach to wake up.

You don't understand the subtle nuances of our plan, if we make them think we are crappy they will become overconfident.
Then we will have them just where we want them

 

[Alvious]

D starting to look gassed.

 

[TejasCat]

guy was wide open in end zone there

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

They have all day to pass! All day! We got no speed on the edge! Nothing!

 

[TejasCat]

Neb will use timeouts here and get the ball back I'm afraid.

 

[Seattle_Cat]

The defense is gassed.

 

[The_Waterboy]

Wait a minute... One first down for a half IS CRAPPY - no hiding it. Replace Thorson at QB, he's lost touch. Get someone who can throw the bean like a Big Boy QB, not a H.S. Soph QB, for Gawd's sake.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need a Hudhafi Ismaili out there! No pressure

 

[pawildcat_rivals209725]

Now, can we run off 1:07 and get to halftime without killing ourselves.

 

[CatsDad]

Nebraska is NOT a good team. We need to beat them.. No pass rush at all.

 

[TejasCat]

run, timeout, run, timeout, run, timeout, 30 yard punt?

 

[KnottSlim]

Wonder what McCall will dial up with 1:00 left in the half...... maybe a 3 and out?

 

[beetlemania74]

Neb will use timeouts here and get the ball back I'm afraid.

Yeah, won't be surprised if they score again.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Ok here we go hurry up drive hahahaba

 

[pawildcat_rivals209725]

D starting to look gassed.

If they're gassed after two quarters, we might have a problem. Will certainly be a problem the second half if we don't move the ball at all.

 

[EvanstonCat]

We should throw on every down to make sure our D gets back onto the field. It's our only hope.

 

[Sheffielder]

Kafka 2.0

 

[corbi2961]

What the hell is McHugh doing jumping up to catch that. If he keeps his feet on the ground, that is a completion. Horrible WR play.

 

[TejasCat]

Just run the 2 minute offense, it looks better.

 

[CatsDad]

Very nice run by Thorson. His legs are our whole offense today

 

[pawildcat_rivals209725]

Very nice run by Thorson. His legs are our whole offense today

He's not shifty, but if he gets a gap he can hit it. I'd like to see more QB draws in our offense.

 

[SockpuppetCat]

I think they need to review that catch.

 

[pawildcat_rivals209725]

Gawd, can't blame Thorson for that one.

 

[TejasCat]

unf*ckingbelievable

 

[Bwm57]

And Jones was expected to be the #1 receiver?? That's pathetic.

 

[CatsDad]

Thorson is trying to win. His receivers need to help him win. That was a nice pass by Thorson

 

[CatsUnderStars]

that sucked. unacceptable drop. bench him. sorry. I don't like to pick on the players, but that was bad.

 

[TejasCat]

whats the deal with Christian, he's dropped his last 3 passes over 2 games?

 

[FeliSilvestris]

He's not shifty, but if he gets a gap he can hit it. I'd like to see more QB draws in our offense.

Nebby's D didn't look good...it seems that several of them should have tackled him...some looked extremely slow also....then again, CT's deserves credit for what he did.

 

[corbi2961]

What the hell is McHugh doing jumping up to catch that. If he keeps his feet on the ground, that is a completion. Horrible WR play.

First McHugh and then Jones drops a sure TD. Someone needs to be held accountable. Springer needs to be gone.

 

[FLCat07]

8:00 minutes time of possession. Unless your running Baylor's offense, that's just inexcusable.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Jones stinks! McHugh and number 40 are only guys who can catch! Dickerson dropped a few!

 

[CatsDad]

Northwestern has been beating themselves. Lost opportunities by poor decisions and plays.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

whats the deal with Christian, he's dropped his last 3 passes over 2 games?

Bench him vitale mchugh shuler. Anyone else has to be better. If not maybe good experience for them for next year. Amazingly poor play for 2 years now at WR SB

More missed opportunities!!! Catch the Ball!!!
