Game thread for Northwestern @ No. 21 Duke

[Hungry Jack]

Gallagher getting worked over

 

[TheC]

We’ll always have UTEP

 

[TerraCat]

Their stadium is empty...

 

[corbi296]

Definitely need one of the other quarterbacks in there. Wouldn't hurt to have some trick plays or something unique to throw at their defense. The generic stuff we're doing has no chance

Maybe someone who knows how to run the touchdown play? Would that work for you?

 

[phatcat]

"OH no! We.suck again "!

 

[The Purple Knight]

Everyone?

You can pretty much assured it’s 32 or 34

 

[FeralFelidae]

This is agonizing.

 

[FLCat07]

We are slow, not strong, and tackling is horrendous. Not a good combo

 

[eddie_gocats]

damn they kicked our ass on that drive…

 

[TheC]

I knew Duke was way better than us and I expected us to get blown out, but it’s still really hard to watch.

 

[MC_Cat]

Worst tackling I've seen since last year.

 

[cattul]

Don’t worry. There are only three more quarters. Time will fly by.

 

[The Purple Knight]

If I hear an announcer say Gallagher is the team leader again, I’m going to puke. The only thing he leads in is missed tackles.

 

[TerraCat]

I'd give Bryant the half, but if he does not get us in the end zone, move on...

 

[TheC]

We need to clear out the entire staff and support system and let someone new rebuild this thing from scratch.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Lesson from Duke: Low man wins.

 

[eddie_gocats]

8 need to catch that

 

[TheC]

I can’t do this anymore. Life is too short.

 

[1060Ivy]

We need to clear out the entire staff and support system and let someone new rebuild this thing from scratch.

And then what appears to be majority of offensive and defensive line roster spots

 

[CatManTrue]

8 need to catch that

They just offered us an easy first down and a potential big gain based on their formation and we couldn’t convert. Sad.

 

[FLCat07]

Tackling is embarrassing. It’s like they haven’t played football before

 

[CatManTrue]

Wow. Three players miss on a sack and then nobody wants to tackle their QB as he runs for a big gain.

UTEP looking like a mirage.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Duke is our kryptonite…

 

[Alvious]

Hey what do you know, I get the ACC Network!

I kind of wish I didn't now.

 

[FLCat07]

Wow. Three players miss on a sack and then nobody wants to tackle their QB as he runs for a big gain.

UTEP looking like a mirage.

It was UTEP. I think last week says more about them than us

 

[HawkCat]

I can’t believe I drove to Durham for this sh*tshow. In person, the softness of the team is palpable. Mailing it in.

 

[CatManTrue]

It was UTEP. I think last week says more about them than us

At least that win helped us escape the Bottom 10.

Bastone still wants it! Nice stop there to hold them to a FG.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Miracle…held them to 3!

 

[HawkCat]

We need to try Sully at QB. Bryant cannot succeed behind this OL.

 

[jensberg]

Still Bryant! Would it really hurt to try Sullivan or someone else

 

[phatcat]

Well, the chances of us overtaking them with conventional play on either side is pretty low. Let's take some risks.

 

[FeralFelidae]

I would say this should be 4-down territory.

 

[drewjin]

Ok we score 30 straight points, then run out the clock and my prediction is perfecto?

 

[eddie_gocats]

17 … clutch!

 

[eddie_gocats]

Way to close the half!

 

[phatcat]

Woohooo

 

[FeralFelidae]

Bryant made some great throws on that drive.

 

[CatManTrue]

Beautiful drive right there

 

[TerraCat]

Nice drive to score...that was a much better showing.

 

[eddie_gocats]

8 … way to bounce back!
