Let's go Cats. Run the ball, stop the run

 

[NUCat320]

Atmosphere at Memorial Stadium reminds me of Ryan Field. Cool for BTN to show it.

Jackson Carsello starting at center today per WGN. Sounded like it was performance-based, not injury, but not totally clear

 

[NUCat320]

Greatest team ever!

 

[Deeringfish]

well, that's a nice start.

 

[TheC]

Ugghh... we miss Ben

 

[phatcat]

Wow that was ugly

 

[TheC]

So sick of shifty offense

 

[Deeringfish]

Two steps forward one step back

Dropped perfect snap on the first play and then half the line doesn’t go on the snap of the ball on 3rd down.

 

[Gatabowl]

Sullivan… ain’t it.

 

[TheC]

Play Hilinski. He's beaten this team once already.

 

[Deeringfish]

Sullivan… ain’t it.

Problem is Hilinski is immobile so the line would let him be killed

Sullivan is bad

This is, indeed, the problem. Horrific first series by the OL. Clown car.

 

[Gatabowl]

Problem is Hilinski is immobile so the line would let him be killed

Yes, he also ain’t it. I just can’t handle Sullivan fumbling all the time

 

[TheC]

Nice start by D

 

[Deeringfish]

I guess they are not going to even try to run.

 

[TheC]

This is painful

 

[DarthCat]

Can’t see it watching on TV, but after seeing Sullivan live, I just cannot believe he’s not failing to pull the trigger on open receivers when he can. He seems more trying to not throw a pick than drive the offense.

 

[FanatiCat]

I don’t know that Hilinski would be able to do any more with this rush, but man this is rough. 2 drives in plus territory and like negative 8 yards of offense. Yikes. If they don’t think we can run then can Bajakian actually adjust to get some quick passes going against this rush.

 

[Gatabowl]

Our commercials truly suck

 

[NUCat320]

I’ll be watching the rest of the game on the DVR, and I fully expect at least one team to get a first down at some point.

 

[phatcat]

I guess they are not going to even try to run.

Why is that? Supposedly mobile QB. Run it a bit

 

[Gatabowl]

What a hit

 

[Gatabowl]

LMAO

 

[TheC]

We need 7 now dammit!!

 

[Deeringfish]

Just get a field goal

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

No offense. So far we’ve done decent on d.

So sorry to see Franklin get beat by OSU.😂
Wish the Buckeyes could have run up the score a little more.

Defense intercepts! Go Cats!

 

[TheC]

Hold on first ****ing play!! Just disgusting

 

[elgatoloco]

I’m starting to think neither team is very good

 

[Deeringfish]

They are not even going to get a filed goal

 

[BFDCat]

What a debacle the offense is.

 

[Darren72]

This is really difficult to watch. Mike Bahamian needs to get a little creative.

 

[Deeringfish]

The defense has to learn how to score.

 

[Gatabowl]

They are not even going to get a filed goal

Fact check: false

 

[phatcat]

Can we have some Jack Olsen appreciation? Hasn't missed all year

 

[Deeringfish]

This is really difficult to watch. Mike Bahamian needs to get a little creative.

With what tools?

 

[Gatabowl]

This is really difficult to watch. Mike Bahamian needs to get a little creative.

Inshallah he’s banished to the Bahamas at the conclusion of this season.
