NU-Illinois second-half thread

[Alvious]

I'm surprised we weren't called for linemen downfield. But I'll take it.

 

[willycat]

I'm glad that they are bad too

I'd be a lot happier if NU was good, or heck even adequate.

 

[TheC]

OK, that was just silly..... but.... we'll take it.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Wow! Heads up play by Dickerson

 

[LACatFan]

Yeah

I'm surprised we weren't called for linemen downfield. But I'll take it.

Yeah, apparently Lovie saw that too.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

I'm surprised Purdue beating Indiana

 

[DaCat]

Thorson in the record books with that TD pass.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We got the wind in the 4th quarter

 

[DrillCat]

Love Smithee will be a force in BIG if given time. I need him to move back to NFL after couple of yrs at IL.
Another open receiver..

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Have to head out. Go Cats in the Hat!

 

[corbi296]

Wow! Heads up play by Dickerson

That was a designed play.

 

[TerraCat]

Great pressure!

 

[DrillCat]

Have to head out. Go Cats in the Hat!

Adios, Alaska.

 

[DaCat]

CJ Robbins breaks thru for the sack. Ifeadi joins the party!

 

[TerraCat]

Now put a good drive together and take this game in hand! Go Cats!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Illinois has really good defensive ends and really good wide receivers

 

[Seattle_Cat]

That was a designed play.

Thorson just made it look awkward.

 

[DrillCat]

Great pressure!

More like no open receivers and Lund hanging on the ball too long.

 

[corbi296]

You can't be serious? Love won't last another year at Illinois. He can't recruit and his staff is not a developmental staff. They'll be worse next year and Lovie will walk away. Mark it down.

 

[LACatFan]

Nice way to finish the 3rd. Now let's own Q4. C'mon, Cats!

 

[willycat]

I'm not saying he doesn't, but if you think Thorson is getting killed today because he's not feeling the pressure correctly we aren't watching the same game. Holding penalties, constant pressure, guys getting through untouched is just ridiculous. Our LG literally just tackled an IL defender in the backfield. Embarrassing.

Whatever you think but still decision making is less then good.

 

[DaCat]

I thought it was beautiful. Great play by Thorson and Dickerson.

 

[DrillCat]

Ok. I shall mark it down. He is a first year coach. Let's see if he can recruit first.

 

[DrillCat]

I want to see Hruby score a TD.

 

[LACatFan]

You can't be serious? Love won't last another year at Illinois. He can't recruit and his staff is not a developmental staff. They'll be worse next year and Lovie will walk away. Mark it down.

I thought McGee was pretty good when at NU.

Especially if his wife has anything to say about it. In fact this may be his last game in Champaign.

 

[DrillCat]

Cmon cats! Focus! Rivalry game!!

 

[DrillCat]

Best punt of the season.

 

[TheC]

Why can't any of our WRs hold onto the ball except Carr?

 

[Wildcatfootball12]

My goodness Mahoney is the worst Oline I have ever seen, its almost embarrassing

 

[Alvious]

D makes a big stop and the O goes 3 and out.

 

[LACatFan]

Wow. 67 yards. Punt of the season.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Not to mention, why in the Sam-hill would an NFL team want him,

 

[corbi296]

I thought McGee was pretty good when at NU.

As a whole, i don't think his staff is very good.

 

[willycat]

Why can't any of our WRs hold onto the ball except Carr?

Why is Fitz calling a pass on 4th and 2. The running backs are killing the illini. Just dumb.

 

[DrillCat]

Not to mention, why in the Sam-hill would an NFL team want him,

I do not know why but NFL works strangely sometimes. How about that Jets HC?

 

[TerraCat]

Is that really on Fitz?

 

[DrillCat]

Nice throw. Had good pressure.

 

[TheC]

Why is Fitz calling a pass on 4th and 2. The running backs are killing the illini. Just dumb.

It was a good play. Nagel was open, Thorson put it right on him. Nagel just dropped an easy one. Can't blame the coaches there.

 

[willycat]

Not to mention, why in the Sam-hill would an NFL team want him,

He won 10 games with the Bears. When was the last time that's happened.
