Game Thread: Northwestern @ Nebraska

He did though. Sullivan just refused to throw it.

I know, I saw it as soon as the ball was snapped. I just can’t believe how clueless some of these posts are. What game are they watching?

 

[Sheffielder]

We need Bryant back if we’re going to have a shot at a bowl game. I think we win this game if Bryant plays.

Absolutely agree

 

[drewjin]

What is NUL's record in last umpteen one score games?

 

[FanatiCat]

Just so depressing. Amazing momentum play, we have 2nd and goal and we end up with NEGATIVE yards and a FG AGAIN. And the announcers even point out the huge miss by Sullivan.

Agreed.

 

[Dugan15]

Really proud of our defense. Man, JON was bad.

 

[TheC]

The offenses in the BIG West are pretty awful all around. It’s amazing.

And of course no news how he is, right?

I am still having a hard time wrapping my brain around that decision. It was the perfect play call. It developed exactly as intended with Gordon running free. It was damn near a walk-in TD if Sullivan throws. He tucks and runs. Mind-boggling.

 

[phatcat]

What we need a few more flags against us

 

[TheC]

Another penalty on our TEs trying to block

 

[corbi296]

Running Himon on that 3rd down play was dumb.

 

[corbi296]

Two guys come free completely unblocked.

 

[TheC]

It’s inexplicable watching our OL try to block.

 

[Sheffielder]

Seriously...I can't remember the last time I felt this totally hopeless about the offense during a game

 

[phatcat]

Such a shame if we lose. Defense played well and UNL is shite

 

[wildcatpn]

The offensive line is bad but there have also been multiple defenders completely unblocked on many plays. Bad coaching and scheme are also a big issue.

 

[HawkCat]

We have obvious problems with our blocking schemes. This has happened all year.

 

[Zootcat]

Man, does Coco hit hard or what?!?

 

[FanatiCat]

Literally only a pick six will save us. Not a pick with a return to the 1 yard line because it will end up with 4th and goal at the 11. Or a fumble and scoop six, since I don’t think they will throw the rest of the game.

You must not watch the games much. This is par for the course. This OL play is atrocious. We are not beating anyone playing like this.

 

[Sheffielder]

Time to summon a Pick 6...which would be totally on brand with how NU/UNL games have gone over the years

 

[eddie_gocats]

To bad our O is shitey

You think that’s how it was drawn up. Those are missed blocking assignments.

 

[TheC]

Just want this season to be over so we can get started on the next chapter with all the leftover Fitz stink wiped clean.

They have to throw the ball for that to happen. They won’t because they are not stupid.

The Kirtz catch really summed it up...and clearly I was not alone thinking if he doesn't take it all the way, we don't get in. Sullivan just looks like a small child lost at the mall.

One more possession? I long to eat my words here...

 

[wildcatpn]

You’re wrong. Some might be but when guys are unblocked many times it’s the wrong play call into the wrong look.

 

[TheC]

Throw the damn ball!!!

 

[phatcat]

2019?

 

[FanatiCat]

They should review that QB hit for targeting. He led with the crown it looked like…

He couldn’t see it, so he didn’t throw it. Pretty simple, if extremely frustrating.

 

[Zootcat]

Sullivan may be More mobile than our other qbs (Lausch excepted), but he is NOT mobile enough for it to make a difference.

 

[TheC]

Fitting ending

 

[phatcat]

So disappointing

 

[eddie_gocats]

Game was for the taking … our O f-in sucks sh$t

 

[corbi296]

Sullivan may be More mobile than our other qbs (Lausch excepted), but he is NOT mobile enough for it to make a difference.

He is mobile enough to be able to get up for the next play.

 

[TheC]

A QB who doesn’t understand how to play the position and an OL that doesn’t know how to block is a pretty crummy combination

 

[HawkCat]

I want to puke. The D has improved and did what it needed for a win. The OL and QB play (in that order) could not be worse. O am tired of the Anderson act.

 

[wildcatpn]

Priebe got his ass kicked again on the last sack.
