Game Thread: Purdue vs. Northwestern

[BFDCat]

Purdue is going to keep running it down our throats until we stop it. We are lucky this game isn't 21-9 Purdue. We need a TD here bad.

 

[jensberg]

There was a blatant hold on the touchdown run. But our D is definitely getting tired and we need to score the next possession

 

[Overly_Invested_Cat]

Five sacks already for Purdue in the first half I wonder what the record is for sex against our team. And this is without their leading sacker

Record for sex? Does running your teammates count?

Yep, a three and out here would be really bad.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Horrible tackling effort on the Purdue td.

The guys in the booth working the game are really annoying. Never been a fan of Matt Millen.

 

[jensberg]

We only have 163 yards total offense they have 173 rushing alone

 

[NUCat320]

Braden Turner with the play of the game for NU.

I agree. Dunno why they did not rush more.

Yeah, and Purdue got 28 yards on one of this inside handoff/forward pass things to Henry too. Credited as a pass.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Thanks for showing up 14!

 

[Seattle_Cat]

Luv Cam Johnson!

 

[Figrating]

Stone hands Cam Johnson joins team!!!!!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

I am so confused by that defensive playcall

 

[NUCat320]

Pretty sure that was a perfect read from Bryant. He threw into the spot vacated by the blitzer.


Wowwowwowwowwow yahooooo

 

[DrillCat]

How about that? Why not go for 2?

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Nice response by the offense. Great run after the catch. Defense needs some stops now.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Matt Millen boy 31 lost his jock!

 

[bjm989]

Go Cats!

That looked like a missed assignment by Purdue’s defense on the Johnson TD.

 

[BFDCat]

Because 1 puts you up 2 scores.

 

[NUCat320]

That looked like a missed assignment by Purdue’s defense on the Johnson TD.

It was Bryant standing in and making a read on the same play that your boy Sullivan would’ve been scrambling because a blitzer was coming for his jock.

 

[DrillCat]

Because 1 puts you up 2 scores.

Huh?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

That looked like a missed assignment by Purdue’s defense on the Johnson TD.

They blitzed the CB out there and left 31 to get all the way down to Johnson. Total scheme decision. Freebie first down at BEST and then a difficult angle for 31 against a WR with momentum and zero help behind.

 

[NUCat320]

Huh?

It was 15-7. An extra point makes it 16-7.

(In general, I think two point conversions are unnecessarily risky until the final ten minutes or so, unless down by a factor of 8.)

 

[NUCat320]

They blitzed the CB out there and left 31 to get all the way down to Johnson. Total scheme decision. Freebie first down at BEST and then a difficult angle for 31 against a WR with momentum and zero help behind.

I’m pretty sure Corbi ignores me, and it’s a blast to call out how wrong he is, ALL THE TIME.

 

[stpaulcat]

is it me or these announcers are jerking each other off about Mockabee.

Jerking off. Definitely, jerking off.

 

[corbi296]

Huh?

What’s confusing about that?

 

[DkeCat]

It’s gotta be Browne from now on, right? Meredith looks like Aiden Smith out there.

 

[NUCat320]

Meredith would’ve been a fit in purple!

 

[phatcat]

Go Clock Go

After watching the play over, you are right. No blown assignment, just asked the safety to do too much on that one. He is a good player but that’s an impossible assignment.

 

[eddie_gocats]

I guess we didn’t try to get that legacy kid Browne.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Cam Johnson had a HORRIBLE first half and is doing his damndest to make up for it now!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Weren’t we in on #31 late in his recruitment, came down to us and Purdue? Or am I wrong about that.

 

[NUCat320]

I can’t think of an an NU quarterback who has thrown downfield better. In the rare occasion NU has hit a deep ball in my 25 years as a fan, it seems like it’s been a slot guy down the middle. Bryant can hit it down the sideline.

 

[Seattle_Cat]

Henning is out

 

[Seattle_Cat]

At least Bryant is throwing faster

 

[eddie_gocats]

Floodgates open…. Going bowling! 🥹

 

[Figrating]

HUUUUUUUGE

 

[NUCat320]

Wow! Is this going to be a blowout?

Relatively speaking, yeah looks that way.

What a defense.
