First-half thread for Wisconsin vs. NU

[IAWildcat79]

Looks like Jackson and Joseph in at safety now?

 

[chariots]

Ray Leota came to play

 

[Catslash]

Ok Running Backs time to shine

 

[Rodenthater]

O line o line please block!!!

 

[IAWildcat79]

Ruiz much more "in phase" working inside out against the TE vertical on 3rd down there.

 

[loyolacat]

Leota really uses his hands well

 

[Figrating]

Couldn't be more even so far...

 

[FeralFelidae]

Need to pick up some first downs here.

 

[DaCat]

Well a 45 yard FG is hardly automatic.

Poor kick. Ball was spinning like a hooked golf shot.

 

[HawkCat]

Why do you do this every week? Sure, one week you'll actually be right and then tell us you told us so, but you've been wrong so many other weeks.

Because he is a troll. He is not a Northwestern fan. I think the NU stands for Nebraska.

 

[jensberg]

Wisconsin has a very good defense we can't run at all

 

[IAWildcat79]

Need to pick up some first downs here.

Agreed. A sustained drive would be big right now.

 

[TerraCat]

Our running game is not going anywhere. D-line is really stepping up!

 

[Deeringfish]

Ol looks worse every week

 

[FeralFelidae]

Hmm, I think that was an interception. He turned his head and had a right to the ball.

 

[Catslash]

Guess not

 

[Deeringfish]

Hmm, I think that was an interception. He turned his head and had a right to the ball.

Yeah that was a terrible call. If it was a Cat, I'd be flipping out.

 

[Catslash]

Anybody got a fork

 

[Rodenthater]

No running game !

 

[Deeringfish]

Anybody got a fork

let's not give up yet. Plenty of Football left to play.

 

[IAWildcat79]

Def don't think we're going to be able to straight dropback passes against WI's 3-4. They are almost Steelers-esque in their ability to disguise blitzes and Leonhard will bring guys from all over. Case in point on 3rd down when they rushed 3 and brought the boundary corner...and we had the bodies there but no eye discipline.

 

[Catslash]

let's not give up yet. Plenty of Football left to play.

Cept we are only playing defense

 

[TheC]

Just keep calling the PI play on offense.

 

[Deeringfish]

Unbelievable. 3rd and 10 and they run for 15

 

[phatcat]

Woohoo an incomplete pass

 

[TerraCat]

Ramsey is getting hammered. Got to keep fighting. Wisconsin is a great team. We have to play hard EVERY play to the end!!! Go Cats!!! We have to stop their run game!

 

[IAWildcat79]

Damn...that's a "give up" playcall by Wisconsin and they pick up the 3rd and long on a running play. Kick in the gut right there.

 

[stpaulcat]

It's almost like we weren't prepared for wisconsin's running game.

 

[Titanium999]

They are wearing us down! Stiff em!

 

[FeralFelidae]

3rd and 10; can we get a stop?

 

[Alvious]

I think we're done.

 

[bjm989]

B Jo back again!

 

[kelloggcat]

Would be nice to capitalize on one of these turnovers.

 

[chariots]

If there is going to be an interception who do you think it could be ....

 

[IAWildcat79]

3rd turnover! BJo again!
**Edit - Fisher made that play. Nice!

 

[Titanium999]

R u kidding me! Joseph with the pick! He almost had the pick last week at end of the game

 

[NUinIowafan]

Finally- a great interception! Now time for a TD!!! Offense needs to step up!!!

 

[FeralFelidae]

I think we're done.

I think we always make good 2nd half adjustments. Just keep it close and regroup in the 2nd half.

We get the ball first.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Is this the turnover we can finally score off of?

 

[DaCat]

Let's convert one of these into points!
