1st Half Game Thread UW

[Figrating]

Another big stop - NU D looks good enough.

 

[DaCat]

Our defense waking up. Keep pounding Hornicek and he'll make mistakes. Good 3 and out for Cats D.

 

[ubercat]

Can we put a drive together?

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Not sure why they haven't run Taylor the last two possessions but I'll take it.

 

[corbi296]

I really like the way we are playing. Lot's of emotion and physicality. We are going to win this game if they can sustain this energy and emotion for 60 minutes.

 

[TheC]

Time for our offense to help this D which is playing their butts off so far.

 

[Katatonic]

3 and out after both turnovers. Both failing to convert a 3rd and 1 with the same predictable play.

Just didn't win the one-on-one battles...

Yeah, stupid of Wisky to not run the ball.

 

[stowbilly]

I agree with announcer...Faster pace and we seem to do better. Also, passing over the middle has been working/open all day.

 

[julescat]

4th and less than one. What are the odds of picking up? With Mick and OL?

 

[corbi296]

Sneak it.

 

[DrillCat]

Go for it. Qb keep.

 

[Katatonic]

^ Yep.

 

[DrillCat]

Larkin time.

 

[TheC]

This line.... killing us!

 

[corbi296]

This line.... killing us!

They're battling. They have issues but I like the attitude today.

 

[TheC]

A TD would be great, but I love taking the time off the clock.

 

[julescat]

yep. get it on 3rd down

 

[Figrating]

YYAAAAAAHHHOOOOOOOOO!

 

[DrillCat]

qb keep twice and pound it in!

 

[TheC]

Wasn't that the Welsh Ryan connection? Thorson to Green?

 

[stowbilly]

Did we suddenly replace the offensive coordinator? Excellent, innovative play calling that drive.

 

[DrillCat]

Holy shit!

 

[TejasCat]

Love the play calling there with the QB bootleg pass, and then the play action at the 1. Let's keep getting pressure on Hornibrook with the bad leg

 

[ubercat]

Al Gore would approve: a Green TD

 

[Figrating]

UW and everybody else thought they'd be up by 20 this half.

 

[Katatonic]

Hmmm, a wrinkle in playcalling gets the 'Cats their 1st 3rd down conversion of the game and the Big D w/ 2 big back-to-back plays.

 

[SmellyCat]

Love the funky pass on 3rd-and-3, as inelegant as it looked. Not sure I've ever seen NU try something like that.

 

[Deeringfish]

Well, I'm watching with more confidence. If we can go into half time with the lead the guys should feel pretty good getting the ball first in the second half.
Confidence is a powerful advantage.

I'm feeling better now too. They belong on this field today. We didn't see that in Durham.

 

[DrillCat]

And we have good kickers now!

 

[Deeringfish]

Baby!!!

 

[TheC]

HOOORRRRNNNIIIIBRRRROOOOOOKKK!!!!

 

[Figrating]

YAAAHHHOOOOOOOO!

 

[Katatonic]

Hope the Wisky coaches keep trying to pass the ball.

If the D can keep getting pressure on Horni and the O mixes things up (keeping the UW D on their toes), like their chances.

Addendum - ha, look what happened as I was typing this up.

Not a good series by Thorson.

 

[TheC]

Block please

 

[DrillCat]

Good things happen when we pressure the opposing qb.

 

[TejasCat]

I think i would ran some clock off here.

 

[TheC]

Thorson simply not playing well.

 

[Figrating]

What happened to THORSON ???? Awful passing.

 

[DrillCat]

Block for CT!! Damnit!!
