First-half thread for NU vs. Stanford

[lou v]

We are minutes from kickoff...and knowing who NU's starting QB will be.

The time for talk is over. Let the big dog hunt.

Both will play per Fitz on Fox.

 

[mikewebb68]

Three of the four Fox pregame analysts pick us-- only Matt Leinart picked Stanford.

 

[BFDCat]

Matt is a idiot.

 

[mikewebb68]

Matt is a idiot.

Yeah, he's usually wromg, so that's a plus...

 

[lou v]

Hunter will start.

 

[BFDCat]

It was nice to get some respect from the Fox guys including Urban.

 

[scru]

I still don't understand the "both will play" nonsense. Hunter is the starter. He should play until garbage time or he's proven that he is not ready.

 

[FeralFelidae]

It's going to be a long day if Stanford keeps running for 7 yards a pop.

 

[Fitz51]

I have to agree.

 

[Fitz51]

Stanford really filling in those seats. I guess they truly are the west coast NU!

 

[FeralFelidae]

Wow, pretty early to go for it on 4th!

 

[chariots]

Gallagher with an impressive tackle on 4th down. Let the Hunter era begin

 

[FeralFelidae]

Happy for the field position!

 

[scru]

Mistake #1 for Stanford.

 

[corbi296]

Refs are starting great. Blatant hold on our LDE not called on that 4th down play. Didn’t matter after all.

 

[TejasCat]

They better call those holds on Gaz

 

[chariots]

Missed pass interference. Great start refs :S

 

[Alvious]

That pick is not on Hunter. D made contact early.

 

[bjm989]

Willock looking good early

 

[Titanium999]

Missed pass interference. Great start refs :S

Pass interference!

 

[FeralFelidae]

Hmm, Stanford guy pushes the NU receiver in the back before the ball arrives and gets rewarded with an interception.

 

[Titanium999]

We are getting pressure on the qb

 

[bjm989]

Yes, Nice to see us lay a little wood on Costello

 

[scru]

OL pass blocking looked good on the first couple of pass plays.

 

[TheC]

Big response by the D! 3 and out.

 

[Alvious]

Nice punt!

 

[FeralFelidae]

Ugh, 2 yards to go, why not run it?

 

[Titanium999]

Ugh, 2 yards to go, why not run it?

Run it! I agree! Let's see what Green can do

 

[TejasCat]

Gonna have to throw on first down, our WR having issues getting open on passing downs.

 

[BFDCat]

Not seeing a lot of separation from the WRs.

 

[scru]

More early contact by a Cardinal DB.

Offense is more vanilla than a ice cream cake.

 

[BigNUFan51]

Put Green in on next series. HJ isn’t getting it done

 

[phatcat]

Put Green in on next series. HJ isn’t getting it done

Haha too funny

 

[phatcat]

F*** the farm

 

[scru]

Not seeing a lot of separation from the WRs.

Not seeing ANY. Stanford ready for every play so far. Easy to cover when every route is <5 yards deep. McYawn.

 

[FeralFelidae]

The refs are throwing plenty of flags on Stanford. It says a lot about the way Stanford plays that the refs should have thrown a few more.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Yeah, this is the kind of drive I'm worried about.

 

[scru]

Is it too late to bet the under?

 

[Alvious]

Our D was on the field way too much that quarter.
