Game Thread for SIU vs. Northwestern

[corbi296]

Hunter Johnson would be a good option right now.

A good option for what?

 

[Troy4L]

His passes sail in part because he loves to throw off his back foot.

100% this.

 

[Rodenthater]

A good option for what?

Holding a clipboard

 

[phatcat]

Thank goodness they can't kick either

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Are we just bad evaluators of defensive talent? Our defense is a joke. This has the making of dark ages football

Is Mitchell injured?

 

[phatcat]

Hilinski stared down Malik from the snap on 3rd down. Covered. Threw it anyway

 

[FanatiCat]

Hilinski stared down Malik from the snap on 3rd down. Covered. Threw it anyway

A half step away from a pick six.

 

[NUCat320]

Hilinski stared down Malik from the snap on 3rd down. Covered. Threw it anyway

He didn’t have time to look at his other options. No cushion.

Are we playing Ohio State? The way we are playing on offense and defense right now, you would not know we are playing an FCS team. This is plain and simple BAD FOOTBALL. But also bad coaching. I mean on that 2nd and 11, SIU had 8 in the box, and everyone and their brother knew we were going to run the ball. Isn't playing football about doing the unexpected?

 

[chicagocatfan24]

Gallagher is the best option they have...?

 

[phatcat]

Wow that escape was embarrassing

 

[catcrazy]

Fire the whole entire staff

 

[BFDCat]

Fire the whole entire staff

Yeah, something needs to change. This is embarrassing.

 

[phatcat]

SIU did us a favor by having their Wildcat QB throw a pass. We have shown zero ability to stop the pass.

 

[DaCat]

We are getting out-smashmouthed by SIU. WTF.

 

[Figrating]

Not long ago, NU was ranked #10 in the nation. This team we're watching today might not break into the top 110.

 

[NUCat320]

It’s highly probable that NU and Lincoln are the two worst P5 teams.

I can’t believe SIU did NU a favor and kicked there. NU can’t stop them.

 

[SadCatFan22]

Hey guys new fan here.

Had to join because I have no one to vent to. This is unacceptable.

 

[GeauxCatsGeaux]

Shades of Illinois State. Feels like you're watching inevitable in slow motion.

 

[TerraCat]

Wow, we were almost down ten to SIU...

 

[SadCatFan22]

Hilinksi needs to benched but the truth is their isn’t anyone better

 

[phatcat]

Wow we are getting lucky

 

[AdamOnFirst]

These procedural penalties at home by the line are unacceptable.

 

[phatcat]

It's pretty typical so far

 

[FanatiCat]

Just absolutely horrendous by everyone not named Evan Hull.

 

[NUCat320]

Holy crap that 3rd and 1.
And everyone knew what was coming on fourth….

 

[GeauxCatsGeaux]

I would have punted. We need to pin them. We can't give our defense a short field.

 

[SadCatFan22]

wow turnover on downs

 

[Rodenthater]

Now we know how horrible Nebraska is!

 

[jensberg]

At least run defense looks good

 

[TerraCat]

Can someone please explain to me why their receivers are wide open, and ours are covered like a blanket?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Can someone please explain to me why their receivers are wide open, and ours are covered like a blanket?

Their speedy and quick receivers are the strength of their team.

 

[jensberg]

Should they give Sullivan a chance or is it just too late in the game to try that

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Should they give Sullivan a chance or is it just too late in the game to try that

Not a good idea yet IMO.

 

[Rodenthater]

This varsity app sucks!!!

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Can someone please explain to me why their receivers are wide open, and ours are covered like a blanket?

Our starting corners and safeties are injured

 

[phatcat]

Line got whipped there

 

[TerraCat]

Creative play calling. We pass it down to the 12, and then line up for the run, the Saluki's put 9 in the box and stuff it cold!! Very creative...

 

[NUCat320]

Now we know how horrible Nebraska is!

OU leads Nebraska by more than Michigan leads UConn. But Week zero was fun.

 

[phatcat]

Why are we always the ones with no kicker? Edit we DID kick whew. I thought we were going for it
