Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Illinois

Well, we gotta march back down and score. But man our D is not at its best today…can they turn it around?
 
Gallagher is a heady player, but he stunk this entire drive. Again our kicking game is poor. Get Baker from Loyola.
 
This is a pretty good college football game. Both teams playing decently, QB play is good, big plays and mistakes on both sides.

Would like Himon to get the ball more.
His speed really makes a difference.
 
Bajakian is sealing his fate with some shaky play calling this half.
 
I don’t know if it was intentional, but Bryant threw Kirtz into the spin move and first down there.

Let’s remember back to the first half when Beilema called a timeout just so he could chew out the refs over the intentional grounding non-call for an extra two minutes
 
Not getting points on the prior series was brutal. Gotta make our fg’s. We got a break with the muffed punt. Let’s get a td to take the lead. Go Cats!
 
Last year for this game, I was sitting in a movie theater with my son and daughter, periodically checking the phone and surveying the damage from a distance.

I would’ve never expected that NU would enter this game trying for seven wins *and* trying to prevent Bert from eligility.

What a fun game.

(And nobody knows who wears #18. Goooo Garner!)
