Game thread: Maryland vs. Northwestern
- Thread starter mshelton33

We are watching a QB finally getting a couple of games of experience, gaining confidence and settling into the job. Say hi to NU’s new starting QB, Brendan Sullivan. This should have happened first game of the 2022 season but I guess it’s better late than never.
He also has much more time in a pocket and when he does he's throwing some fabulous passes including longer ones
I suspect they want to keep the ball out of the hands of Maryland’s deep returner. It has been pretty effective so far. The last several drives Maryland has started drives inside the 25.
If we could figure out how to contain their quarterback we could probably win this game
I'm happy that they have actual pressure, but he's a veteran. Know how to move out of it
I know it's obvious, but Sullivan and the offense plays so much better when they have 3rd-and-3 instead of 3rd-and-12. He's just looked more confident overall, and it's because he realizes he doesn't have to make up for the big losses on first and second down all at once (though I think the TD to Kirtz was on a 2nd-and-14). He just seems to be more decisive today.
Maryland missed a few open receivers after the long run, but a stop is a stop.
Third and long, this is not a good recipe for a sustained drive..I would like to see Bajakian out scheme Maryland. Can our guys build on what we have seen and attack weaknesses?
It’ll have to be short passes, or improvement from the OL. The RBs have been pretty ineffective. (Combined 11 carries for 31 yards as I write.)
Yes, I am assuming he knows how because he is an offensive coordinator...of a Division One team!!! If he can't well...perhaps he can't...I want to believe he can...
NU appears to be intentionally running down the offensive play clock.
NO TURTLEBRAUN!
NO TURTLEJAKE!
NU is good enough to beat Md. go cats go

Bajakian not moving the pocket in the 2nd half. Got to keep playing to your QBs strengths and OL’s weakness.
LOL, I am continuously amazed at how clueless some of you guys are about football. You might as well listen to the radio because you have no idea what you are watching.
