Game Thread: Northwestern at Maryland

OK I'm tired of this. It would be a moot point if they would just Get under center and run an effing QB sneak for 1 yard. Lausch is an ox. If our blocking sucks, as you say, maybe the bush push would work. Edit : because we already know what DOESN'T work
I didn’t say our blocking sucks. I said on that play we missed a block in the hole between the right tackle and guard which forced Porter to kick it outside. If you are going to criticize the play calling, at least have a clue what play was called.

Our blocking, generally, is not good.

There have been a half dozen comments about blockers whiffing.

I'll get a clue when the staff gets a clue about the players' limitations. How many stuffed short yardage plays have we had this season? If you want to tell me it is simply impossible to be even a mediocre short yardage team against middling B1G teams, I simply can't agree. We have to be able to convert a reasonable number of short yardage plays. Hell, go five wide if you want. Just not the same stupid failures

LOL, what do you want them to do. Kind of hard calling plays if your players can’t block. Obviously that is not the case. First thing you need to do is get a clue about what you are looking at. Second thing you have to do is realize that we are pretty mediocre right now but improving. These guys are going to screw up plays and the other team is going to make some plays. You could have the perfect play called but if they out execute your guys, the play won’t work. That’s football. Line up for the next play and do better.

First half stats -
Lausch 6-10 132 yds
Rushing: Komslafe 3-10, Porter 6-9, Lausch 7-21
Receptions: Kirtz 2-68, Henning 3-61, Covey 1-3
 
Three drives without a first down since the 90+ yard drive. (Got the field goal after a three-and-out.)

Would be great to string together a few first downs. Better to get a score.

You know the interior of our O line is hot garbage, right?
 
Darn! Little bit of contact on Henning’s arm and a really good throw by Lausch.

Tick tick tick…?
 
The arm talent is on display tonight. And the mental ability to see blitz coming was also on display. As far as three and outs go, Lausch looked about as good as can be.

Yep defender slapped his arm as he was reaching for the catch, no call
 
He didn’t get out. It’d be shocking to get an overturn. But if the rule was “replay official makes the call” it’d be a safety.
