First-half thread for NU-Minnesota

[DaCat]

As the game starts, Minny is sitting on top of the B1G West at 3-1, as Io_a lost to Wiscy.

 

[lou v]

It's also going to be a very sparse crowd -- especially for a Big Ten game.

 

[Jaguar 88]

No Robinson? Geez, we lose the deep threat!!!!

 

[Figrating]

Minny just strolling down the field...

 

[catfans5]

Minny has a huge line. #68 is one huge dude, making their center look small.

 

[phatcat]

Long drive. Give up 3. OK

 

[CatManTrue]

Weird play call on 3rd and 7 by the Goofers. Presumably they were supposed to get more yards for a 4th and short?

Really nice hold by the D to keep them to a field goal after that methodical drive.

 

[TheC]

So sick of shitty football this year

 

[DarthCat]

Just ridiculous. Just absolutely painful to watch. Yep, Bajakian and Anderson have done great things. Such an improvement over the other guys.

 

[Figrating]

Wow, NU - gave up 7 points on O after just 2 plays - way to show those goofers we aren't in the game

 

[stpaulcat]

Not gonna say it.

 

[catfans5]

Game over? Looks that way.

 

[SLUCATS210]

These guys suck

 

[jensberg]

OMG

 

[eastbaycat99]

Jeebus. Penalty, fumble. Hope they suck it up.

 

[freewillie07]

Already feels insurmountable with our offense.

 

[JournCat]

It’s really tough switching to this after the incredible Michigan-MSU game.

 

[SLUCATS210]

False start on the first offensive play at home without a crowd. Should be a benchable offense honestly. Too bad all our other linemen suck.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Can we put in Marty now…

 

[benoitdenizetl]

We just don’t have the deptg to recover from losing our top two receivers (Kirtz and Robinson). We’re also choosing to play our passing qb with no mobility. Would love to see Marty get some reps today.

Embrace the suck! Now we have to score more than our usual seven to win.

 

[Jaguar 88]

God damn we spot them 10 points off the bat!!!! WTF is going on with this team???!!!! With this staff???!!!

 

[eddie_gocats]

What I said before…

 

[TheC]

3 man rush for Minny… no problem

 

[nickcat4]

Already feels insurmountable with our offense.

This could get ugly

 

[CatManTrue]

3 man rush for Minny… no problem

Skoronski was just beat easily, although Hilinski didn’t have the pocket awareness to step up and away from the pressure. Oof.

It’s a different sport. We play this weird game in quicksand.

 

[phatcat]

3 man rush for Minny… no problem

Skoronski injured himself stepping on all the roses people throw at his feet

 

[FanatiCat]

So sick of games that we lose in the first quarter.
Bench everyone, let’s see what else we’ve got at this point. Hey, I know it’s a lot on the coaches but we don’t have a second string of coaches to sub in.

 

[SLUCATS210]

The regression of the entire offensive line… is big time yikes.

 

[timbfischer]

This is worse than 2019

 

[eastbaycat99]

Hilinski already looks shell shocked. Either someone on the sidelines needs to calm him down or they need to pull him.

 

[jensberg]

Well at least the punter who is visiting sees a good opportunity

 

[lunker35]

This just can’t happen in this stage of Fitz’s tenure. It all falls on him. He’s hired these guys and recruited these players. The coaches are paid an outrageous amount of money and we’re one of the worst teams I’ve ever seen. We have unbelievable facilities and a top notch education. Fitz needs to finally make some good choices or else he’s going to lose us all. As you can see by the stands today he’s lost a ton of us.

 

[cattul]

Mark my words.

It will take more than one yard of offense to win this game.

He overthrew the received on that second down pass. Tough to watch.

Too bad

According to corbi, this is complimentary football.

there is no way a Big Ten Qb should go down for a sack on that play. Follows a play in which he badly missed his receiver. Unacceptable.
