Official game thread for NU vs. NU

[stpaulcat]

We're still ahead...Thank you defense!!

Question now, can the defense hold up, or be the offense again?

 

[pawildcat_rivals209725]

Got it. Missed that. Thanks.

And it still was a b.s. call.

 

[corbi2961]

At what point to you bench Jones? He's done a lot for the program, but he's hurting the team right now

Who are you going to play? They all are horrible right now.

 

[TheC]

How do our receivers get scholarships to a Division I Power 5 school?

 

[pawildcat_rivals209725]

Where'd Vitale go? He seems to have vanished from our offense.

 

[SchizoCat1]

OK, I was wrong. So sue me.
Another flag on the return,

Right. Jones is just about the only one who has shown the ability to get open right now. He just can't seem to finish the play...

Jones 2 bad drops

 

[TejasCat]

Many many just dumb mistakes today

 

[Cookie1966]

Another good return called back. Special teams is brutal

 

[TheC]

I'm tired of watching dumb football.

 

[pawildcat_rivals209725]

Shuler catches the ball and actually makes a nice return, and there's another stupid penalty.

 

[corbi2961]

Because they are great athletes. They need to be taught how to be Big Ten WRs.

This is the best post of the season. Maybe ever

 

[Cookie1966]

Come on. Really double coverage

Blocks in the back will happen on occasion. And that one was a big reason that Shuler had a decent return in the first place.

 

[KnottSlim]

This team is playing undisciplined. The wheels have come off and they look finished IMO. This is the most craptastic offense I can remember in a long time. There is not one division 1 caliber receiver on this team.

 

[Gocatsgo2003]

Come on. Really double coverage

Gotta take a shot sometimes.

 

[corbi2961]

Shuler just stopped running his route on that deep pass down the middle. Unbelieveable.

 

[corbi2961]

Walkon Austin Carr is our best WR.

No way Shuler doesn't get around that guy. All he had to do was juke left as he did. Blocks in the back will happen. They just seem to happen far too often where NU is concerned.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Walkon Austin Carr is our best WR.

Since he caught a ball, yes

 

[KnottSlim]

Shuler just stopped running his route on that deep pass down the middle. Unbelieveable.

Shuler might be a athlete but he is not a receiver.

 

[pawildcat_rivals209725]

Vitale. Finally.

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Boom!!

 

[Cookie1966]

Man a vitale sighting

 

[Sheffielder]

VITALE! Great catch. Worth noting that his position coach is different than the receivers...

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Say what you want. Thor can throw the effing football. Needs support

 

[SchizoCat1]

I didn't Vitale was still on the team. Right on!

 

[The_Waterboy]

Now the D needs to bake some French Pastry at the expense of Armstrong & the BugEater O and convert a turnover...

 

[corbi2961]

Come on defense, buckle down. If we can find a way to pull this game out going into a bye week, I truly think we can reverse the momentum for this season.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Not sure what any of that means but....GO CATS

 

[TejasCat]

HOW ABOUT A TURNOVER HERE!

 

[TheC]

Great drive. Hopefully that will give them some confidence.

 

[Cookie1966]

Say what you want. Thor can throw the effing football. Needs support

Come on man. Yeah that was a nice throw. But he's had about 3 good throws all game. There mostly high, behind, low he never hits receivers in stride. Thus ya get a lot of dropped passes. His accuracy needs a lot of work arm strength is very good

 

[Sheffielder]

Say what you want. Thor can throw the effing football. Needs support

"Thor." I like it.

 

[SchizoCat1]

Say what you want. Thor can throw the effing football. Needs support

I agree; he's going to be a pretty good quarterback

 

[The_Waterboy]

Let's see... French Pastry = turnover. Do you prefer cherry or apple filling?

 

[SchizoCat1]

Too bad we have no running game. Thanks to the Almighty that Nebby has no pass defense to speak of.

 

[SockpuppetCat]

Great return by Shuler! Great field position!

A score here, even if just a field goal, and I'll feel really good about the game.
