2nd Half Thread

[zeek55]

Hoping we see some major adjustments here to try to get CT some time and some WRs open down field.


Really can't stress how important these next 30 minutes are: we can win the division right now in these next 30 minutes given Minnesota is leading Purdue by 10.

(Made this early so we don't have multiple threads this time).

Our passing game is somnolent

Our passing game is somnolent

It's either we get 100+ passing yards in this half or our defense will need to score some TDs or get us into short field position like they did against Wisconsin.

Please help an old man whose memory is failing him here. When was the last time we won the halftime adjustment battle?

Hasn't happened this season yet. Hoping we're due...

Ya see, the other team is EXPECTING you to make adjustments... ergo, no adjustments at all is the best adjustment you can make!

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

We get the ball in the 2nd half and I don't remember the last time we scored starting out the 2nd half. May have been in the 90s!

Last season when they beat Iowa in OT.

 

[HappyNUyear]

Imagine if our OC moved the ball while there was under 1:00 minute in the half like OKST. They scored.......oh wait NU has McCall.

 

[TheC]

Man, I miss explosion plays by our offense.

 

[zeek55]

Last season when they beat Iowa in OT.

That's the first game that comes to mind; I think we've lost the 3rd quarter in virtually every game since that one except Wisconsin this year.

 

[TejasCat]

did we really not throw the ball on first down the whole first half? I thought the bomb that was just overthrown was on first down, but announcers said 10 runs on 10 first downs.

 

[chariots]

We threw it on 1st down but an illegal shift was called. On 1st and 15 we ran.

 

[zeek55]

At some point we do need to give CT a chance to build some rhythm. Even if it means 3 and out on 3 straight incompletions.


Can't keep trying to force this run/run/pass strategy to happen when we haven't made a single 3rd down...

 

[zeek55]

Minnesota up 17 on Purdue.

We need to come out with our tails on fire like we can win it all right here.

 

[HappyNUyear]

I’m hearing from Friends in Minnesota that it’s now snowing

 

[phatcat]

Crazy. We can effing clinch today

Heck ya!

 

[Deeringfish]

Seems like we are trying to go too deep and there just isn't time for CT to wait for the log routes to open up.

I call BS. 5th year senior. 4 year starter. Maybe our best ever. Carry the team on your back. Make a play. Escape. It's in his hands.

 

[Deeringfish]

Finally a 3rd down conversion

I can't disagree. He has to get going now.

 

[HappyNUyear]

Here we go. Crap

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Nagle was held there!

 

[Deeringfish]

Interception had to happen. I don't know what has happened to CT

 

[TejasCat]

Great start for Thorson:

overthrow on first play
late to Nagel on sideline pass
then horrible throw on the pick

 

[phatcat]

Here we go. Crap

I am so sick of that sh1t.
Run the football. We can't pass

 

[DaCat]

Nagel was mugged

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need Clayton to throw deep crossing patterns.

 

[phatcat]

Wow a QB that responds to pass pressure

 

[TejasCat]

Whillock's gonna be a good one

 

[HappyNUyear]

No freaking flags

 

[Alvious]

Do you maybe sit CT for a series?

 

[Deeringfish]

Lucky on that punt. D bail CT out with that stop. Ddi we actually gain filed position on the exchange?

 

[phatcat]

Whillock's gonna be a good one

Agree. Wow athlete

 

[zeek55]

Minnesota up 24. Got to get our offense going.

Division is on this game. Right here. Right now.

 

[HappyNUyear]

Put TJ in for a series

 

[phatcat]

Interpretation: offense, act like you want it

 

[CommodoresAndCats]

I don't think Thorson is an early round pick. His accuracy has really regressed this season and he still doesn't grasp how to move in the pocket.

 

[DaCat]

We dodged a bullet, defense bailed us out again. Let's get it done.
