OK, I'll start. Underthrown pass on what could have been a TD. Cats proceed to waste the opportunity by missing a FG.
Game thread?
- Thread starter NU Houston
- Start date
I think the kick was into the wind, which knocked it down. Same thing with the long pass to Robinson, which should have been a TD. Frustrating.
We’ve discovered the appendix’s purpose: it remembers to start the game thread.
Look, I know we’re not facing a juggernaut, but defense looking a lot more sound early on here. Nothing easy for Rutgers. Good sign…though losing the field position battle early with Rutgers playing with the wind at their back.
Great job to keep the legs moving and not go down when hit.
Can I change my game prediction?? We look like the regular Northwestern so far today. No bullshit reading and freakin totally out of position and OMG slow to react to the play on defense. How refreshing!! Go Cats!
Hey, I'm happy too. More punts from the opposing team than we've seen in a long time!
Coach Jake is staring to look like McCall - ALWAYS runs the first two plays and nearly always ends up 3rd and long. That's gotta be Fitz' orders. Things could be better if NU mixed it up more.
I hope they start to pass first then run. Keeping them off balance will get the run game going. It is so nice to have both a qb and great receivers that compliment each other. If the D can get straightened out, there is indeed hope for the season!
Anyone else's feed keep cutting in and out? I have Comcast and it's brutal right now. Almost as if it's buffering every 15 seconds
It is better to pass first to open up the run usually. Our line is not great, so you need to keep the defense guessing. If Fitz wants to get the program going again, the ball control philosophy has to at least be modified.
We need to establish the running game, which isn't happening so far.
As I wrote this, they call a first down pass (to Jefferson!).
Gallagher stepping up today. Trying to cement his hold on the starting MLB job.
When you run a flea flicker, it's generally a good idea to block the NG.
Certainly better than other first quarters this year. Still feels like the offense/field goal unit is leaving too many points off the board.
Welcome to the “I know it’s Rutgers…” Club. I’m a member too.
Battle for the BIG bottom? It appears that we are facing a team that is worse than us.
