Unbelievable comcast just went out here

Thank goodness it came back on after about five minutes !!

I want to give @CoralSpringsCat a shoutout here: he said during warmups that Wayne Dennis looked like Jerry Rice in warmups, and - bam! - he gets a 23-yard catch, just his second of the year.

FYI #86 Wayne Dennis just had his first catch of the season. I don’t recall seeing him on the field at all.

Broadcast crew didn’t appear to have his name on their depth charts...

I really wish our team would do a better job at snapping the ball quickly after there is a questionable play that might be overturned. Probably wouldn't have made a difference for this play, but there are a few plays this year where I think, had we gotten to the line faster, we could have avoided good plays getting overturned by the booth.

Wait. So if you’re facing into the field, your whole foot has to come down in bounds, but if you’re facing into the sideline only your toe has to touch? That’s a weird rule if correct. Because if he keep his heel off the ground and then his other foot stepped down out of bounds it would be a catch?

 

[iskaboo]

Is it just me, or is the stadium noise drowning out the broadcasters?

 

[SLUCATS210]

Offense gotta keep pounding Porter, that Auburn run defense is leaky and will burst soon.

They credited Marshall Lang...

3 and out again!!!!!

 

[NUCat320]

Gosh I love that third down tackle

 

[zbag51]

3 and out again!!!!!

Is that good?!

 

[DaCat]

Another 3 and out by the Cats defense!

That's a blessing 😀

Apparently only Auburn is missing players.

If any part of his foot comes down out of bounds, it's incomplete. So if he had been facing the sideline and his heel came down in bounds, but his toe was out of bounds, it would have been complete. If a receiver somehow managed to keep his heel down and his toe off the ground while facing the sideline (weird foot contortion), it would be complete. So the rule is consistent - no part of the foot can be out of bounds on a catch.

Too many first downs for Auburn I’m worried our defense is gonna wear out.

Well, they did mention that Porter would get a lot more carries because of our missing RBs. So I think they will get around to mentioning our players on defense missing the game soon. I will give them the benefit of the doubt for now - so far, the broadcast team is pretty balanced and seems better prepared than other broadcast teams this year.

I will give them a pass on having the wrong player for #86 - heck, I didn't know who that was, either, so...

[EvanstonCat]

Stop running wide!

 

[chariots]

Gutsy call by Fitz. I wouldn't have done it.

 

[rogerkim]

Looks like Auburn's defense is selling out to stop our run game. Hopefully, Ramsey can continue to keep them honest and open things up for Porter as the game goes on.

 

[bjm989]

Wow. 4th and 8 around the 50. I’ll keep watching from the couch.

 

[Deeringfish]

me either

 

[bjm989]

+7 for Fitz!

 

[Deeringfish]

Woooooooooo, Woooooooo Raine

 

[Figrating]

YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chariots]

Paraphrasing Steve Spurrier, "can't spell Citrus without Peyton"

 

[EvanstonCat]

Up 14-0, looking good!

 

[BosCat]

Raine dance into endzone!

 

[phatcat]

Ramsey has completed passes to 7 players

 

[Figrating]

NU stops these guys right here and they'll be talking to themselves.

 

[ChicagoFan29]

Need to get running game going

 

[rogerkim]

Though it didn't do anything for the play, I like the motion of Ramsey across the field from the Wildcat. Nice little wrinkle, probably to set up something for later in the game.

 

[DkeCat]

Peyton seems like such a different player in good weather

 

[rogerkim]

Man, Ramsey is just playing great today. Poised, calm, and accurate. Making all the right decisions so far.

Go Cats!

 

[bjm989]

I always selectively forget when the three man rush works.

 

[Figrating]

Like that!

GO CATS PUT THE PRESSURE ON THESE MOFOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
