Game Thread: Iowa vs. Northwestern

[TejasCat]

need a pick 6

 

[Go Catz]

Sully needs a shot of whiskey or something to settle down. He's not himself at the moment.

 

[Deeringfish]

The Peacock broadcast quality is terrible.

 

[phatcat]

No offense AND bad punting. Sheesh

 

[peatymeanis]

Bajakian cannot develop a qb for the life of him

 

[TheC]

Big win by the D there!

 

[Deeringfish]

Sullivan looks rattled now.

 

[cattul]

Forcing a punt on a series which started on the NU 45 is absolutely impressive. Our D is getting quite good.

Edit: Yes, yes…I know. Iowa.

 

[corbi296]

This one may go to penalty kicks.

 

[TheC]

So hard watching this team

 

[phatcat]

Who's behind Wrather?

 

[TheC]

Another shit call. The DL wasn't engaged.

 

[Deeringfish]

Well NU won the punting game there.

 

[peatymeanis]

Who's behind Wrather?

Someone who’s somehow even worse than Wrather

 

[Go Catz]

Iowa's defense isn't even having to do much here with our offense tripping over itself. These guys gotta settle down.

 

[TheC]

Call timeout!!

 

[phatcat]

Why didn't Braun call timeout?

 

[eddie_gocats]

Refs are ioa MVP

 

[TheC]

How can the return team have illegal formation?

 

[NUCat320]

Deacon Hill is worse than several post-Thorson QBs at NU.

 

[DrillCat]

Refs are ioa MVP

Thats how I see it. 😡

 

[NUCat320]

Who's behind Wrather?

Carsello. He started, I think, against Nebraska.

 

[peatymeanis]

Deacon Hill is worse than several post-Thorson QBs at NU.

He’s so bad I’m surprised Bajakian didn’t offer him

 

[TheC]

Clearly Maryland must have a horrendous defense. Sully is back to looking like a guy who has never played QB again.

 

[TheC]

So many stupid plays by our guys. Aren't we the smart school?!?

 

[phatcat]

Why did Henning go out?

 

[eddie_gocats]

I0-0N

 

[Deeringfish]

I don't know the numbers but it seems to me that Sullivan is better in the second half so maybe it is still NU's game.

 

[corbi296]

Henning running out of bounds, the coverage guy picking up the punt and stopping the clock before the ball stops rolling. Small details but these are things badly coached, losing teams do.

 

[TheC]

The BIG West is just an embarrassment. How can these teams survive the conference expansion coming. There are no FBS offenses in the entire division.

 

[Deeringfish]

I0-0N

Which is almost ION so if NU has any Chemistry majors they have the advantage.

 

[NUCat320]

29 yards for NU in the first half. 81 for Iowa.

Zero points.
11 first downs. (Only 2 for NU.)
10 combined punts.

Awesome pitchers’ duel, yuk yuk yuk

 

[TheC]

I don't know the numbers but it seems to me that Sullivan is better in the second half so maybe it is still NU's game.

Not last week

 

[mesacat]

Had Him played at all. Need some speed

 

[stpaulcat]

The second half is for Bajakian's job.

 

[DrillCat]

Henning running out of bounds, the coverage guy picking up the punt and stopping the clock before the ball stops rolling. Small details but these are things badly coached, losing teams do.

We are NOT losing. Calm down, man.

 

[NUCat320]

One punt, though not the last punt, is credited to Luke Akers in the ESPN box score.

 

[TheC]

The halftime highlight was a 7 yard run.

Pretty sure they told the coverage team to snag the ball. DeJean loves to make that late play to the ball.

 

[cattul]

The halftime highlight was a 7 yard run.

I would vote for the doink off the upright. Always the most entertaining play in football.
