Northwestern vs. Nebraska Open Thread

[MacrayCat]

Beautiful night for a game, although a sea of red has invaded Ryan field.

 

[MacrayCat]

Any bold predictions before the game? Would love to hear what 'Cats fans think!

 

[Alvious]

I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

Go 'Cats!

The epitome of being a 'Cats fan. Me too.

Yes, there is gonna be a whole lot of red in the stands tonight...though I see the tarp is still on in the northeast corner.

 

[Figrating]

The Duke W looks a little more significant now.

Thorson is starting to feel comfy passing and knows to throw the hopeless ones away.

Sad...

 

[Smokejumper]

Wow - first 3 plays on D had me nervous. Lots of new faces in there...

 

[MacrayCat]

For being N00N, the first 7:20 has been incredibly exciting on both sides of the ball. Gotta love the 'Cats being watchable again.

 

[Smokejumper]

love the up tempo

 

[Alvious]

Thorson needs to make better decisions. Maybe too amped up?

 

[NWFAN66]

What a joke

 

[corbi296]

Bad read by Clayton. Had JJ in the flat with a better chance for first down. How can we keep trotting Mitchell out there? Can't do much worse than this.

 

[kreggk]

Can anyone on this board place kick? Please report to Ryan Field.

 

[Sheffielder]

Aaaaand another player regressing...

For those who criticize Fitz for not competing for championships.... here is your reason. How do you recruit top athletes? They want to play in front of thousands of screaming fans. Not this.

 

[NWFAN66]

Hahaha

 

[Sheffielder]

Worst part about that first down...I knew they were gonna get it

 

[nuwildfan2]

I was going to come on here and say what a drive McCall was calling and then 2nd and 1 happened. What the hell was that?

Also Jack come on man make the chip shots

 

[Alvious]

D's gotta make a play here.

 

[TheC]

Both lines seem to be playing a bit better tonight.

 

[Figrating]

So far so good. Got a little cautious when we were in the red zone. Godwin got jobbed.

 

[Sheffielder]

Gotta capitalize in mistakes...so far NU is 0 for 2

We already give the students free admission. When I went to NU we had to play for tickets and we showed way better than this crap tonight.

 

[corbi296]

Mitchell's problems continue to be due to his plant foot. Same thing last year. Very correctable but it seems to be in his head now.

 

[corbi296]

Godwin screwed up the coverage on that pass play.

What a hit by McGee.

 

[NWFAN66]

Got lucky AGAIN

 

[Alvious]

It is now afterN00N.

 

[MacrayCat]

Got lucky AGAIN

Westerkamp was WIDE open, not a player near him.

 

[YesterdaysCat]

Westerkamp was WIDE open, not a player near him.

Yet....

 

[Smokejumper]

Lbs and dbs seem a bit confused back there. Lots of wide open receivers all over the field

 

[corbi296]

Has their been a player who has underachieved more in his NU career than Ifeadi? The chances to make plays are there but somehow he doesn't make most of them.

 

[Sheffielder]

Well...you know...they figured they wouldn't throw to westerkamp...

Interesting point. I always thought the defensive scheme was wrong for him. There is no way he should've been a down defensive lineman. He should've gone somewhere where he could have developed as a rush end.

 

[corbi296]

For once I'd like us to have a decent OL that we don't have to constantly scheme around.

 

[Figrating]

Self-destruction again.

No pressure on UNL.

He doesn't have the lateral speed to play in a two point stance.

 

[Alvious]

Blazing speed by Thorson. TD 'Cats!

 

[Figrating]

YYAAAAAAAHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Sheffielder]

Been saying for weeks now...the kid has wheels...
