Game Thread: Iowa vs. Northwestern

[cattul]

Is sully still the solution?

For the record, I have never made that claim, so I’m assuming it was general commentary?

Edit: Also, I’m not sure that any Northwestern quarterback this side of Len Williams could succeed behind the current offensive line. Maybe Persa.

 

[NUcats92]

The punter just sucks, don’t know why he takes so long to punt

 

[stpaulcat]

Normally I would say do not count the Cat'sout, but I'm afraid the Iowa TD was the game.

 

[2388bb]

who is qualified ?

Not Jake.

 

[NUCat320]

Can we get points for crossing midfield? Can we cross midfield?

No points for crossing midfield. I had hoped they changed the rules. Darn.

 

[Go Catz]

Get Sullivan a shot of booze. He's gonna have to pass into tight coverage if we're going to get any points.

 

[HungryEyes42]

Lol Braun is such a joke-no balls

 

[eddie_gocats]

More BS

 

[Deeringfish]

Peacock is terrible. It's like watching Max Headgear.

 

[Catslash]

Is Hill related to Sonny Jurgensen?

 

[HungryEyes42]

how do you punt there in that situation?

 

[peatymeanis]

Gotta make those plays if you want to win

 

[corbi296]

Every close call by the refs goes to Iowa. Ferentz has these guys by the balls. No way there was enough to reverse the call on the field on that catch.

they feel bad for him

LOL. What game are you watching?

 

[Deeringfish]

OK not bad field position to start a drive.

 

[HungryEyes42]

LOL. What game are you watching?

How many times are we getting into plus territory?

 

[NUCat320]

It appears that Brian Ferentz picked up the “skater’s cut” - shaved in the sides, a bit floppy on top - circa fifth grade, and then never changed.

I hope NU looks downfield on first down.

 

[freewillie07]

Still a chance to win this but NU has to wake up and play smart, crisp football on offense. They are playing against Iowa and the Refs in this one.

Anderson’s “NWO” has 15 minutes to sharpen up and not be the liability that cost the Cats a win.

 

[phatcat]

Including offense and defense penalties, we have zero net yards3

How many 4th and 5 are we going to convert? This is a field position game. The only way Iowa or NU scores is with a very short field like the one Iowa scored on. You don’t risk giving Iowa another short field. You punt the ball, pin Iowa back and wait for Jared Lorentzen Jr. To make a mistake or for a bad punt.

[NUCat320]

When NU scores here, kick the extra point and play for overtime. In Jack we trust.

Yeah punting was a no-brainer. Too much time left.

I am actually more optimistic about NU’s ability to drive 70+ yards. Offensive line just needs to get it together and not get penalized, and we need to not be cute and find positive yardage on each play, somehow someway.

 

[NUCat320]

Two successfulish plays, but a weird time for Lausch.

Yuuuuuge run by Tyus.

 

[cattul]

Tyus is showing some serious effort. Let’s see this turn into a scoring drive.

 

[corbi296]

If we score a TD, we should strongly consider going for 2

 

[Go Catz]

Penalties killing us in this game

 

[NUCat320]

Holding. F***

 

[TheC]

Bad programs making bad plays. This is the legacy Fitz left us. He really collapsed as a coach his last couple of years. It went beyond JON.

 

[peatymeanis]

Anderson is stealing a living

 

[NUCat320]

NU got a break. Cam’s thigh was on the line. Fourth down go go go !!!

 

[NUCat320]

Nice design on fourth down and Tyus has cojones

 

[eddie_gocats]

F*

 

[TejasCat]

I’d fire the OC right now, do the toss sweep and he walks in

 

[TheC]

Embarrassing

 

[FitzFan]

Fire Bajakian into the ****ing sun.

 

[NUCat320]

Tyus on the sidelines. Garbage.

Cats deserve to lose.
