First-half thread for NU vs. MSU

[lou v]

It's pretty lousy conditions in Evanston. The wind is blowing pretty hard. The rain is pretty light, but it's coming in sideways. It's gonna be a pretty full house so the lines to get in are LOOOOOONG. I don't think fans are gonna get to their seats until halfway through the first quarter. The student section will be full today, at least, but there's a lot of green.

Keep in mind today that MSU will be starting their No. 4 left tackle today, Tyler Higby. It could be a big day for Joe Gaz.

 

[chariots]

Fortunate White ended up out of bounds

 

[Figrating]

One good play for NU this drive...

 

[HawkCat]

That drive was embarrassing for the D.

 

[jensberg]

Worst defense we've shown all year that was way too easy

Can we get a 4th string LT like that?

That drive was embarrassing for the D.

We need more pressure up front with blitzes! Screw the four man front!!

 

[Deeringfish]

How did he get away?

 

[BigNUFan51]

Game over

 

[Jonny2TheP]

That was far too easy. Pretty much exactly as MSU scripted.

 

[SIUCatfan]

Way too easy. Maybe now they’re overconfident?

 

[Deeringfish]

Hank always adjusts. I hope the hurry up that MSU is running gives him time to figure it out. Cats need to at least move the ball on this possession.

 

[HawkCat]

Game over

LOL. You are trying way too hard.

 

[NUCat320]

1st and 10. Run for your life, Hunter!

 

[Rodenthater]

Looks pretty ugly so far!

 

[Figrating]

2nd good play

 

[Deeringfish]

Looks pretty ugly so far!

Yep

 

[NUCat320]

Good play. Cam went ball-hunting.

 

[Deeringfish]

Willoc is such a ball hawk

 

[chariots]

Used the ref screen nicely

 

[Figrating]

YAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[IGNORE]

TD! ????

 

[IGNORE]

What terrible line play.

 

[AtlantaCat]

SHITTY OL.

 

[chariots]

That hurts a ton

 

[bjm989]

Unbelievable

 

[NUCat320]

Looks like NU forgot about the existence of the QB sneak.

 

[jensberg]

Wow now that is a defense can't even get one yard on three plays. Even though the play-calling was terrible they have an incredible defense. This game could get really ugly.

 

[Deeringfish]

Wow no line surge

 

[Rodenthater]

It’s going to be a long boys!

 

[HawkCat]

Now the O is embarrassed. It is an ass-kicking thus far. We look soft on both sides of the ball.

 

[SIUCatfan]

Good thing we changed OL coaches.

 

[Titanium999]

Dang! We had seven points

 

[TheC]

I'm sorry, but another crappy, crappy series of play calling. You're two inches away and you go backwards with the ball. Did Mick forget the many many QB sneaks for TDs he's called??? And then on 3rd and 1, you run the same damn play again???

Horrible start to this game from everyone.

 

[TheC]

When there is zero creativity from your offense, MSU can just line everybody up over the center and push.

 

[IGNORE]

It’s early, but it looks like men vs young boys so far.

This is perhaps the best D we will face this year but....

 

[Titanium999]

Wow! Pace nailed the qb! That was a nasty lick!

 

[Titanium999]

This is perhaps the best D we will face this year but....

Let's see Anderson beat em with his speed!

 

[Deeringfish]

The D is really tackling the ball today. I hope that doesn't bite us with missed tackles
