First-half thread for NU vs. Stanford

[FeralFelidae]

ANOTHER flag on Stanford. We really need to stop them this time; I think our defense is gassed this drive.

 

[scru]

Our D was on the field way too much that quarter.

Expected.

 

[BFDCat]

I have a feeling we seen Green next drive.

 

[Fitz51]

Is it too late to bet the under?

Live number is 37.5

 

[TheC]

So far their OL is better than ours.

 

[FeralFelidae]

So far their OL is better than ours.

I'd like to see us try some more runs, especially when we only need 2 frickin' yards.

Maybe some read option. Isn't Hunter supposed to bring a running element? Then where's the read option?

 

[BFDCat]

So far their OL is better than ours.

Given we've seen exactly 6 offensive plays from the Cats it's hard to tell.

 

[corbi296]

So far their OL is better than ours.

What? i’d Love to know how you can come to any sort of conclusion like that based on the play so far?

 

[scru]

So far their OL is better than ours.

So far we've run 6 offensive plays and have no way to tell. Our offense hasn't even finished stretching out their muscles.

We are a conservative team. It has worked for us.

0 - 0 against a 6.5 or favorite after 1 qtr.

 

[corbi296]

Leota!!!!

 

[wocka]

There goes GoU's breakout guy

 

[BFDCat]

Leota!!!!

No idea who that is, Ray?

 

[phatcat]

Two plays and a commercial. Yay Fox

 

[TerraCat]

Time for the offense to click...let's break off a few runs...Hunter looks nervous...Go Cats!

 

[FeralFelidae]

Well, for one thing, Stanford has 5 first downs and we have 0. They're dominating the time of possession.

Although to be fair, we shouldn't compare until NU finishes THIS possession (so that each team has had the ball thrice).

 

[corbi296]

Eku. RS freshman DL.

 

[GECat2]

Offense needs to have a drive and give the D a rest.

 

[scru]

HJ stats in Q1: 1 of 4 for 2 yards, 1 Int. 2 dropped passes.

 

[GECat2]

must we run on every first down??

 

[scru]

McCall just going to run on every first down? For F's sake.

 

[FeralFelidae]

There we go, a called run for Hunter for our first first down!

 

[TerraCat]

Ok one first down...now let's make it two!

 

[scru]

Hmmm, talk about driving your new Porsche into a brick wall.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Have to punt here.

 

[TheC]

What a dumb play. Let Bowser run over people for the yard

 

[TerraCat]

We have ourselves a PUNTER! nice kick!

 

[scru]

Everything on offense is just far too predictable. Even the snap count.

 

[TejasCat]

Drake's dad busts that play for a big one

 

[FeralFelidae]

NICE punt!

 

[corbi296]

Now I know why Fitz was excited about our punter. We could have used this guy the last couple of years.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Drake's dad busts that play for a big one

Drake's still a youngster. I like what I've seen so far.

 

[BigNUFan51]

I don’t see Northwestern scoring much this year

 

[phatcat]

That punt was crazy good

 

[Titanium999]

Our D was on the field way too much that quarter.

Hunter can run! We need his speed in there! Looking goos so far. Just needs to nail a few downhill passes which will open up Bowser! We needed Bowser on the third and one

 

[corbi296]

I don’t see Northwestern scoring much this year

LOL.

 

[Alvious]

We better find an answer for their tight end.

 

[corbi296]

A turnover here to flip the field would be perfect. Offense needs a short field to build some confidence.

 

[BFDCat]

Lighten up, it's Hunters first game. He'll be fine.

 

[BFDCat]

Oh no.
