Duke @ Northwestern Open Thread

[MacrayCat]

Both Louie and I are in the box tonight. Fire away questions, comments, rants, etc.

Thanks for allowing us to enter the box virtually.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Nice Starting drive for TD!

THERE's the Northwestern offense we've been looking for. Best drive since the first one vs. WMU.

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Another easy TD for the Wildcats!

 

[corbi296]

Look what happens when Thorson has time!

 

[MacrayCat]

Gotta love to way the OL came out of the box. Plenty of room for JJ to maneuver and Clayton had enough time to throw.

 

[SmellyCat]

Nice pass for the TD.

 

[DaCat]

What's so hard about that? Let's keep scoring!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

A major positive of that initial drive was overcoming the penalty to keep the drive alive.

Wrasslers six man front stuffs me on third down

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Looks like the Defense came to play today as well. Oh, I forgot with the late start it is already bedtime for the Dukies.

 

[corbi296]

Nice hands by Dickerson. I've been critical but have to give him his props on that one.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Wow almost had JJ in for aTD.

 

[corbi296]

That sack is on Thorson. Poor read and needs to chuck the ball in the stands before taking sack.

Really slow route by Scanlan didn't help either.

He still needs to get rid of the ball before taking sack.

 

[bjm989]

There's Godwin. Nice to see him get a big play!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Yes, nice interception

 

[TerraCat]

Nice throw by Thorson there!

 

[Smokejumper]

Can we schedule all our games as night games?!?

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Thorson to Carr on the money.

 

[DaCat]

Ant is invisible. Even saw Nathan Fox for 2 plays.

 

[MacrayCat]

If I see another speed option I may lose it.

 

[corbi296]

Horrible punt by Niswander. Can't punt that one in the end zone.

 

[SmellyCat]

If I see another speed option I may lose it.

CT just doesn't look comfortable running it, and it's going to get JJTBC killed someday.

 

[lou v]

NU's first drive: 10 plays, 75 yards, TD
NU since: 18 plays, 66 yards, 3 punts

 

[DaCat]

No more options with Thirson please

McC's tendencies rearing its ugly head again.

 

[MacrayCat]

Underrated aspect of the game, but Flynn Nagel has been a massive upgrade returning punts. He knows when to fair catch and that was a nice return. Way better than the past couple years.

 

[corbi296]

Clayton has to keep the defense honest on that read option. Needs to keep it a few times.

 

[corbi296]

Duke is keying 100% on JJ. Needs help.

 

[SmellyCat]

CT is double clutching on his throws.

 

[KnottSlim]

The offensive line is horrible and I wish Thorson would not telegraph every pass.

 

[TerraCat]

Why are we giving up 5 yards on every short pass? No one covers us like that, why do we continue to do that?

 

[MacrayCat]

Defensive backs are giving up an 8-9 yard cushion. Young DBs are afraid of getting beat.

 

[corbi296]

Defensive line was manhandled on that drive. Pitiful. The OL has justifiable been criticized this year but the DL has not been a lot better. Lots of talent, no production. Whose fault is that?

 

[DaCat]

Ant just not playing well. He was standing by as Duke scored the TD.

 

[corbi296]

What the hell is Vault doing on that return? That was horrible.

 

[Katatonic]

So much for the DT position being deep and the strength of the D-line; haven't seen much penetration by them all season.
