First-half thread for NU vs. Nebraska

[SLUCATS210]

He more than held his own in Hank's system.

He did. Until we played Ohio state…

 

[FeralFelidae]

At least I can switch to the UTEP game in 20 minutes. I was worried I'd have to switch between games. I'm not worried anymore.

 

[Catslash]

Bye looks like Phillips left just in time.

 

[phatcat]

I was excited when Robinson made that great catch then uh oh we gotta figure out how to punch it in.

 

[fcmchi]

Why that slow developing play on the goal line?

 

[NUera]

Hate to say it but I’m now officially in “I accept that we’re bad this year and would love a bowl game but I won’t hold my breath” mode.

 

[DaCat]

Both coordinators are below average.

 

[cedricmelons]

Dear God!

Why are they in shotgun inside the 1 yard line? Wtf???

 

[cattul]

That was a bizarre series of goal line calls.

Why didn’t they just stand up and run a QB sneak again? They were a foot and a half away.

 

[SLUCATS210]

At least hilinski can play. We have a QB for the next two seasons. Priority for the rest of this season should be preventing our good players from transferring.

 

[NUCat320]

This team is bad.

Go Cats.

Robinson is a really good player.

They wanted to run the play where they don’t block two guys at all

I don’t see a bowl game at all this year. It’s October. The team is not looking good enough on D to win a game.

Nebraska is arguably the 12the best team in the conference. We may not win a conf game. Our defense is dreadful

Priority should be turning over the linebacker unit to the young guys.

What the hell happened to the old tried and true I Formation!!!

 

[phatcat]

Apparently, Yant is a Heisman candidate. Oh wait, that was Walker..

 

[bjm989]

Huge chance to flip it here if we stop on 4 th

My thought too. They looked they were scared to just play.

 

[IGNORE2]

Never mind everyone. They stopped Neb! This D is looking pretty good. Must have been a blip. Lock in JON w lifetime contract!

 

[NUCat320]

We can get a stop when Martinez rolls it backward ten yards on first down. They should do that more.

 

[Rodenthater]

Wow…a stop!

 

[cattul]

Finally some pressure on Martinez.

 

[CatManTrue]

Stop Nebraska State at 28!

 

[NUCat320]

My thought too. They looked they were scared to just play.

I’d like to acknowledge that the “fake Wildcat, QB motion, QB sneak” was pretty cool. QB sneak is no doubt the best play in football.

 

[bjm989]

God bless Andrew Clair.

 

[Darren72]

Andrew “second effort “ Clair.

 

[bjm989]

Use your blockers Hull!

 

[phatcat]

Quick quiz: last time we had a successful screen pass was...?

 

[SDakaGordie]

Use your blockers Hull!

They didn’t block!

 

[bjm989]

Stupid 4th and 9 attempt. Desperation.

 

[Figrating]

Can this get any uglier? The season is in flames.

I'd nearly forgotten what it was like to have the weakest D in the conference, but the bad old days are here again.

The more NU changes, the more NU stays the same. For this season, NU should lose "Wildcats" and rename themselves "Carpets".

 

[bjm989]

They didn’t block!

Seemed like he needed to cut inside from my angle.

 

[CatManTrue]

Stupid 4th and 9 attempt. Desperation.

Wtf was that playcall?

 

[PurpleFaze]

Stupid 4th and 9 attempt. Desperation.

Ok with going for it, but the play call was stupid if you are going for it

 

[NUCat320]

Stupid 4th and 9 attempt. Desperation.

I disagree. Right to go for it. Play to win.

It sure looked to me like both edge rushers were breathing down Hilinski’s throat despite rushing 4, but I didn’t see the replay to confirm.

 

[SLUCATS210]

oh just fire the whole coaching staff fitz. Get some coaches who can start winning big time recruits and getting on the field results already.

 

[phatcat]

Well, look at the bright side. We can't blame the passing game.

Our defense is so dreadful

 

[freewillie07]

Wtf was that playcall?

Are you kidding? The pass pro gave Hilinski no time. Awful.

 

[SDakaGordie]
