Game thread for Miami vs. Northwestern

[TerraCat]

Sweeeeet!!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

This is a bad day for special teams blocking lol

 

[phatcat]

If their QB was any good, they’d be crushing us

He's reminded me of Demry Croft

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Najee Story is a STAR

One very bright spot in this shitshow.

I suppose most of his snaps are against FCS and MAC opponents, but kid is a stud.

Solon Ohio’s finest! What a Story.

Let’s go score!!

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

We finally make a special teams play.
Minny looked dominant against MSU today. What’s happened to the Spartans? Early Nov will be rough with OSU followed by Minny.

 

[mcgurgmv]

That Miami kicker kicked the ball into his O-Line.
NU is out gaining Miami (OH) 341 - 117 and it’s 7-7. Mindblowing!!!

 

[TheC]

And another failed possession

Minnesota is really, really good. The fact that they came out chucking the ball to target MSU's weaknesses and looked GREAT doing so... Fitz would not likely come with that stretagy, and it makes MN look very scary.

 

[CatManTrue]

Skoronski just got beat badly by Miami Hydroxide’s defensive end on that third down. This decade sucks so far.

 

[mountaindrew]

Butler in again at DT. Glad to see that.

 

[IMC Cat]

Wow, when Skoronski is getting dominated it’s really not our night

 

[Go Catz]

Even Skoronski is getting beat. There's something in the water.

How many scoreless overtimes does it take to declare a tie?

This feels like 1999.

Miami of Ohio is scary for us. What does it matter?

 

[TerraCat]

Time for a turnover, maybe a pick 6??

 

[hudsoncat]

Should this be entertaining? Asking for a friend.

 

[cattul]

First team to ten is going to win this brewing instant classic!

Or does it feel like 2021 or 2019?

I’m just speaking in general. It matters to me because I live in MN and I’m not looking forward to being surrounded by giddy Gopher fans. However, I’m also just a big fan of college football overall, so I was merely commenting from a national perspective. The gophers look to be heavily favored in every game left on their schedule except at Penn State.

That’s not good since we can’t kick field goals

 

[TheC]

Field the ****ing punt!!!!!

 

[TerraCat]

Why are we not fielding punts? Can someone please inform us? I thought we gave that up? We are giving up 10-20 years per drive. WhyFitzWhy?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Priebe and Schmidt pushed their guys fully 8 yards down the field on that first down carry at the point of attack. WHoa.

 

[Alan Smithee]

I’ve given up trying to explain to a British friend how American football is played. Instead I’ll just show him this game as an example of how it is not.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

If someone has insomnia they will be cured watching this game.

 

[TheC]

Big conversion there

 

[1060Ivy]

Wearing down Miami

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Porter looks quite a bit better tonight, that's good

 

[1060Ivy]

Miami has lost at least 2 games late already this season.

 

[CatManTrue]

Make that 13! Thank you Cam Porter!

 

[TerraCat]

YEESSSSSS!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Ooh, and a nice read and cutback on that TD plunge. Much better running tonight from Porter. Very relieving.

 

[TheC]

Ok.. good tough drive

 

[phatcat]

Whew. Now get a stop

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Nice td by Porter. Just feel like we will need more.

 

[CatManTrue]

Ooh, and a nice read and cutback on that TD plunge. Much better running tonight from Porter. Very relieving.

On his third down run he could have easily bounced it outside to the left for an easy TD.

Better late than never. Hopefully JON and Genyk don’t bone us out of a late victory.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Mazel Tov.We scored a TD.Now let's go D.See if we can hold on.

 

[stpaulcat]

Miami is a good team. Our defense is like Keystone Cops, but they are trying and getting the job done. When Hilinski he is good, he is great, when he is not, he is not.. This could be a very good offense.
