1st Half Game Thread UW

[Figrating]

I wish our able leader would get this started earlier, but I can't wait.

GO CATS! Steal one!

"Welcome to Wisconsin football on ABC. Who are they playing today, Bob?"

 

[Hungry Jack]

Fumigation out. We catch a break.

CT will need to make plays today if we are to win.

Time for the Cats to redeem the home state after that crapwagon display at Lambeau.

GO CATS!

Thanks, Figrating.

Fumble first play, Cats ball!

 

[TejasCat]

FGs aint gonna do it for us. Brutal OL blocking on the 3rd and 1, so predictable too

 

[stpaulcat]

Stop trying to run up the middle against Wisconsin, esp. on first down. IT AIN'T GONNA WORK!

 

[Figrating]

Somebody missed an assignment on 3rd -

 

[TheC]

When will Fitz accept that our OL is dreadful and not allow slow developing run plays up the middle on 3rd and 1. What a huge wasted opportunity there.

 

[HawkCat]

Thanks, Figrating.

On third and one, I told everyone in the room to look for a delayed handoff up the middle for a one-yard loss.

 

[Hungry Jack]

I hate that call on third down.

Spread em out Mick. Give JJ some space.

 

[iskaboo]

Why did McCall decide to test the middle when you have 3rd and 1 in the red zone?? Bewildering. Still, we have the lead.

 

[TheC]

What a stick!

I don't know what you can see on TV, but Wisconsin had NINE in the box on that play. No safety at all -- he was two yards behind the line. There's no way they're going to run against that front. Thorson has to audible out of that play and run a slant. They had two corners in man and no one in the middle of the field.

 

[TheC]

I am sick of hearing about Hornibook already. I hope we pick him off a few times!!

Does (can) Thorson audible ever?

 

[ubercat]

Wisco NOT automatic on that 3rd down, boys.

 

[Figrating]

Well, so far their plan to run all over us isn't working.

 

[TheC]

Really nice coverage on that long ball, but rushing 3, he had all day to throw. A better throw and they might have hit that.

 

[corbi296]

I like the physicality so far. Looks like FItz has them ready to play today.

 

[TheC]

Love that play call on 1st down!

 

[Deeringfish]

I like the physicality so far. Looks like FItz has them ready to play today.

That hit on the kick off by McGee looked not to different from his targeting call.

 

[Deeringfish]

Gotta keep passing

 

[TheC]

They rushed 3 and blew up our OL. That is so pathetic!!

On replay, I was wrong... they brought a linebacker, but still... Hance got destroyed and they got to Thorson right away with only 4. Our OL is soooo frustrating.

 

[kreggk]

Dickerson, WTF?

 

[julescat]

Thorson sacked himself

 

[HawkCat]

Thorson sacked himself

Yep. He has absolutely no feel for the pocket. Easily could have shifted right to buy more time.

 

[Deeringfish]

Glad we got the field goal. Looks like a long day now

 

[corbi296]

That sack is on Thorson. He had time and he could have extended the play by sliding to his right. He just has shown no feel on how to move in the pocket to avoid pressure. Bad play and a bad read by Thorson on the 2nd down zone read handoff. He needs to do better.

 

[kreggk]

....wonder what it's like to have a real O-line. Jealous.

 

[TheC]

Wisconsin has another super talented RB.

 

[TheC]

Both lines are so disappointing. This ain't a bowl bound team if there aren't major improvements.

 

[corbi296]

....wonder what it's like to have a real O-line. Jealous.

The OL has been fine so far.

 

[SmellyCat]

Would be nice, but he really doesn't need to put it in the air.

Yup.

 

[Figrating]

Looking pretty easy for UW. This game is on the NU O, and McCall better start passing.

We should be looking at former Wisconsin linemen for our next assistant coach.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

Why?

 

[HawkCat]

The OL has been fine so far.

At least in pass protection anyway. Clayton has had plenty of time.

Nice analysis, thanks

Jordan Thompson needs to start living up to all his recruiting hype. He was completely lazy on that TD run. Was in position to make a play and gave up.

 

[ubercat]

Taylor at this rate should gain 250+ yards today.
