First-half thread for NU vs. Purdue

[lou v]

The Purdue student section is packed, but I don't know if the stadium will sell out. It's 13 minutes to game time and the rest of the stadium is less than half full.

As I posted, I'd be shocked if Thorson doesn't start this one.

Last time I was in this stadium, by the way, was the night NU clinched a share of the Big Ten title in 1995.

So delay has a nice arm

 

[lou v]

Freshmen making an impact already. AJ Hampton made the first tackle of the season on the kickoff and Greg Newsome came in as the nickel back on third down.

 

[Deeringfish]

Who is 13?

 

[Deeringfish]

Pace is an interception machine

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Nice field! Let’s party boys!

 

[CoralSpringsCat]

Trevor Kent!!!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Offense looking stout

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Love Larkin!

 

[Deeringfish]

Walked in. Great blocking.

 

[Deeringfish]

Walked in. Great blocking.

Wow, When was the last time I said, "Great blocking"?

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Minnesota don’t look too good! You can’t be one dimensional! Purdue ain’t got a strong running game, plus our line is great

 

[BigNUFan51]

Great start

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Fantastic drive for C Green. Two good grabs, one with good YAC, and then a great block on the TD run. Let’s keep it going.

 

[theloneb]

Bout as good a start as I’ve ever seen to a season by us.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

What a great start!

 

[CoralSpringsCat]

Trey Pugh!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Wow! What a hit!

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Hope McGee is alright. Not a position we can afford injury.

 

[Deeringfish]

Never felt so good about a fair catch. But super stoked by the 3 and out.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

What a great sunset there at Ross-Ade.

 

[Deeringfish]

Hope McGee is alright. Not a position we can afford injury.

Looked like he got his bell rung so It could trigger a concussion protocol.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Got the wind knocked out of him

 

[BigNUFan51]

Whatever happened to tackling? Lost art

 

[theloneb]

What.A.Start!

 

[DaCat]

Northwesternnnnn !!!

Let's keep the foot on the pedal!

You need to pin this quote! Please!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Amazing, luck is with the Cats tonight. Did you see that point after hit the upright but still went in.

 

[LansingCat]

I guess 42 points in the pregame predictions, I'm afraid I guess Low

 

[Deeringfish]

I'd like to see a sack soon. By the Cats.

 

[TerraCat]

Purdue is making nice adjustments. This game is no gimme...Go Cats!
