First-half thread for NU vs. MSU

[bjm989]

Now we get some PIs going our way. I’ll take WHATEVER we can get.

 

[IAWildcat79]

Nice work by Coach Jake to call the "Draw the DPI flag" play 2 plays in a row

 

[TerraCat]

Please take Drake out!!!

 

[bjm989]

Anderson missed the hole there.

 

[wicker]

Looks like the B1G office got notice to the refs "OSU probably done. STOP. NU only CFP hope. STOP."

 

[bjm989]

My Goodness I thought he had that inbounds. Sheesh that hurt.

 

[Alan Smithee]

More inches.

 

[IAWildcat79]

Great ball placement from Ramsey on that throw to McGowan

 

[Alan Smithee]

another timeout?

 

[Figrating]

Ramsey is cold.

 

[BosCat]

Is Fitz trying to ice Koobs?

 

[jensberg]

Ramsey seems a little bit off today

 

[NU Houston]

Ramsey isn't playing his best football so far this game.

 

[TheC]

Just not our day. No breaks our way.

 

[catfans5]

Do slant or post patterns exist in our playbook?

 

[Figrating]

Bowser needs some bench time.

 

[cidsports]

17-6 key drive for MSU to close out first half. Northwestern has come back in three games, so will today be the fourth?

 

[DrillCat]

Ramsey is off today and our running game is not working yet. Pls no more running Anderson to the middle.

 

[blue2015]

I think my prediction was MSU 24 to 10, still on schedule
I didnt expect Rocky to start though.

 

[jensberg]

This could be such a different game if Fitz had just kicked a field goal on that 1st drive instead of going for on 4th down

I thought that last throw was very nice, even though the receiver stepped literally on the sideline boundary.

 

[DrillCat]

Bowser needs some bench time.

I thought he has been riding the bench? But did I miss something?

 

[FanatiCat]

We are a simply not getting the plays/breaks we usually do and that is a difference along with a few too many missed assignments on D. Two easy drops by our best WRs. McGowan TD catch just 1 inch out of bounds. Peyton’s throws are just slightly more off today, Lees had a step into the end zone but he overthrew him, sideline routes are not quite there. Couple that with no running game, and despite our D’s ability to adjust and tighten up, how are we going to actually score enough to win this game?

 

[JournCat]

Here’s my idea for a halftime adjustment: Coco Azema at RB

 

[BFDCat]

Ramsey is feeling the pressure you can tell. Just needs to settle down a bit.

 

[DrillCat]

Was it the receiver or the throw? I couldn’t tell..

 

[DrillCat]

We need a TO.

I like it. Our toughest run this game was his kick off return.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

A lot of pressure on the D to keep them out of the end zone here (and maybe even the rest of the way). Our offense is really struggling.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Whichever, it was off by two inches. I'm not going to beat them up over that.

We built just a little momentum on O. If we can hold em to 3 and out. Different ballgame.

We had two nice drives in a row that ended in points. I think we're settling down.

 

[NU Houston]

Nice kickoff coverage. Let's stop them on D and get another good drive on offense before the half.

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Is Fitz trying to ice Koobs?

Yeah two timeouts wasted on seemingly routine special teams plays. Very strange not to be prepared there.

One loss teams will make it before NU

 

[bjm989]

Blake! Big play! Bring your own juice!!!

 

[FeralFelidae]

But now Sparty is marching right down the field again...

 

[bjm989]

OMG. Paddy ran clear out of the play. Killer. They have hurt us on 3rd and long.

 

[NU Houston]

Geez...

 

[FeralFelidae]

Wow.
