Game Thread: Iowa vs. Northwestern

[mshelton33]

Northwestern (4-4, 2-3 Big Ten) hosts Iowa (6-2, 3-2 Big Ten) today at Wrigley Field. The game will air on Peacock, kick will be at 2:36 based on the stadium clock.

At least 5:1 Hawkeyes fans on Clark and in the stadium so far.

Thinking 90/10 Iowa lol

 

[phatcat]

Lots of Iowa fans there. Away game

 

[bjm989]

Go Cats!

 

[phatcat]

BS DPI call. Ball was closer to me than WR

 

[bjm989]

How many times are the refs going to bail out the Iowa passing game?

NU was pretty physical on both plays. I think they were the right calls.

 

[bjm989]

Another passing down, Hawks hoping for a flag

Mere hand fighting, I say!

 

[NUCat320]

That’s a slooooow release on Hill. A shame NU didn’t get the recovery. Looks like a hold, at long last, for the Cats D.

 

[Deeringfish]

Dodged a bullet there on the first drive. Nice to overcome a couple of mistakes early.

 

[phatcat]

Glad they got nothing there. Literally, Literally the worst offense in FBS. Can't let them March and score becuz we won't

 

[NUCat320]

I thought the first block was illegal. Looks like they flagged on the NU side of the field.

NU stands to lose about 10 yards net per punt…

 

[eddie_gocats]

Getting UNL feelings… 6 is going to be sore!

 

[Deeringfish]

I wish that Sullivan would only scramble forward.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Interesting beef jerky commercial…

Interesting beef jerky commercial…

I said the same thing. Inappropriate. But I’ve been worried about the guardrails of society long before this…

 

[bjm989]

Another BS garbage flag. Hand fighting at best!

 

[TheC]

That call was a joke!

 

[NUCat320]

That call was a joke!

Ball was underthrown *and* the Iowa receiver initiated the contact.

 

[bjm989]

That call was a joke!

Cats playing good D so far. But cmon refs! They need to be able to run next to the WR.

 

[bjm989]

Tough to kick in the friendly confines!!!

 

[Catslash]

The ref needs a wife.

 

[mesacat]

Is this a FB game or a commercial fest?

 

[TheC]

Need to get some offense going

 

[hollandnucat]

Peacock stream sucks

 

[phatcat]

Yay positive offense yards

 

[NUCat320]

Yay positive offense yards

Ooooops
Wrather was the only one moving. Yuck.

 

[TheC]

Northwestern football

 

[phatcat]

Yay positive offense yards

Oops sorry

 

[phatcat]

bad game to have shite punting

 

[TejasCat]

Why did we punt into the wind instead of letting clock run out?

 

[eddie_gocats]

I 0 0 N

 

[TheC]

We were moving a bit too. Just the kind of crap that good teams don't do.

 

[mesacat]

Is there any team more prone to shooting themselves in the foot then our Cats?

 

[NUCat320]

NU wanted to take a shot on first down. Lang motioned like a lead blocker, play action to Porter. Sullivan looked downfield left checked back down to Lang.

I like the idea of a downfield pass on first down. I wish we got a look at the coverage.

 

[NUCat320]

Is there any team more prone to shooting themselves in the foot then our Cats?

It’s kind of how a ‘streaky’ shooter is just an ‘inconsistent’ or perhaps ‘bad’ shooter.

A ‘shooty-self’ offense is just a bad offense.

BUT BAD OFFENSE COULD BE ENOUGH TODAY!

 

[NUCat320]

Brian Ferentz getting a little zany and creative with a “toss sweep”!

 

[TheC]

How are we giving up passing yards to this crummy team??

 

[eddie_gocats]

Refs giving the game away… f-rs
