Game thread: Northwestern vs. UTEP

[Alvious]

Lots of fans have migrated to the shade of the west grandstand.

 

[NUChicago]

I noticed they haven’t had gragg on the field for the traditional AD shakes some hand for a video board moment lol

Good. I mean if he is your guy, why not put him out there??

 

[zeek55]

Very clean drive.

 

[TheC]

We’re winning!!

 

[HawkCat]

The change at RT seems to have helped.

 

[nickcat4]

We’re winning!!

Pretty sure Frank’s is out thank God

 

[Jaguar 88]

Nice pass by Bryant. He was a very good pickup. If only we could recruit guys like him instead of being portal bandits.

 

[catfans5]

TD Cats! It is great to see in person.

 

[phatcat]

Feeling better now

As long as he’s got a decent pocket and doesn’t have to throw it deep

 

[cattul]

Other than the ghost of JON haunting the first UTEP drive, this has been a very solid showing so far. I am happy for the team.

Lets hope the Cats can close this out.

 

[PurpleFaze]

We need more games versus UTEP

 

[phatcat]

Hilinski with a looooonnnngggg TD pass

 

[thewildcat2011]

Any word on where Bryant is?

 

[TheC]

Serious speed from Himon

 

[NUCat320]

Sullivan must have actually gotten hurt last week.

Nicely done by Hilinski. I thought he was going to miss the season (or more of the season).

THIS MIGHT BE THE GREATEST TEAM EVER!!!

 

[TheC]

Any word on where Bryant is?

Injured shoulder

 

[HawkCat]

Any word on where Bryant is?

Hurt on his TD run.

 

[NUCat320]

Any word on where Bryant is?

He hurt his shoulder when trying to scramble into the end zone. Return is questionable.

 

[HawkCat]

Looks like Pearson is out there.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Nice long td. Offense is finally cracking the game open.

 

[NUCat320]

NU is one of the best teams in the country at drawing illegal touching penalties. Excellent deception defensively.

See? Go Cats!

 

[phatcat]

Go clock go!

 

[IGNORE2]

This team is looking pretty good. Hope this can continue. Four QBs that will see playing time and not due ineffectiveness. Bodes well for the future.

They were off the mark at the beginning of the game. They settled down nicely.

 

[NUCat320]

UTEP is a bad team, but this is more satisfying than I expected at my most optimistic. BRING ON THE DEVILS.

We need every win we can get. End the damn losing streak

 

[corbi296]

Good to see contributions from young players. Thompson solidifying RT/OL, Himon, Soares, SaKa, Turner, Lausch. There is some young talent on this team. Hopefully we can keep them.

 

[Rebel II]

Anderson and the strength & conditioning coach should be escorted from the stadium, all credentials removed, and taken to their offices with a security guard to remove all personal belongings immediately. This would happen in every profession,

No. Much improved OL play. About time, I thought he had mailed it in.

 

[phatcat]

Lausch looked like he was chasing down a long fly ball

Lausch looked like he was chasing down a long fly ball

He reminds me of Kafka with his size and athleticism.

 

[zeek55]

Given the expectations for this game... this is a dominant performance, especially the 3rd-4th quarters.

 

[stpaulcat]

Hard to believe. Many say NU is bad, but this is the most complete game NU has played in years.

IGNORE is that you?

 

[TheC]

Dominating drive

 

[Rebel II]

We’re winning!!

Beat the crap out of the spread. Beat Puke!

They talk about Sully athleticism and I like him but Lausch is an ox

 

[Rebel II]

Agree.

 

[BFDCat]

The defense seems inspired now! Second big stop.

 

[Rebel II]

Agree. D was good. O most organized in years. Special teams pretty good. Effort was a A all the way around. I hope David wins six, and the job!
