Game Thread: Northwestern @ Nebraska

[TheC]

Try Hilinski. Who cares about mobile? It's not like Sullivan is making any plays with his mobility.

 

[Deeringfish]

Porter is the weakest of the three running backs. Tyus has a little shake and Himon has much better speed.

The trouble with Himon is he needs a block. NU doesn't have that.

I don't care for it but it does keep a product producing in the US. If I use it the service engine light comes on every time.

It doesn't have to be. You can make ethanol out of all kinds of by products. Instead we use a cash crop

They did run for about 100 yards on the last 2 drives.

Who benefits from the Unleaded 88 ads?

Those like me with new cars who want to ruin their new car engines with corn gas.😊

Game is close at half as hoped for. Too bad we don’t have on offense or qb to make a dent in the Nebraska defense. Lots of chances with good field position dithered away by penalties and sacks. Our defense has played well overall. We need our offense to somehow perform in the 2nd half for us to have any hope to win.

 

[Deeringfish]

Hey we get the ball to start. Who knows?

 

[TheC]

Have Kirtz or Johnson even been targeted once?

Right on cue!

 

[FanatiCat]

Offensive line is a total disaster outside of one drive. Absolutely killing us with penalties and missed assignments.

 

[JimStarr777]

Dropped passes are killer!!!!!!

 

[TheC]

We’re beating ourselves this drive. Why did Porter stop running!!??

 

[Deeringfish]

Right on cue!

Took his eye off the ball.

 

[FanatiCat]

Yeah I don’t think Porter has it anymore. Seems like that was a good chance for 10 yards, at least 8 with a chance to extend, but he ends up juking himself into 5.

That's dumb. We can eat the corn, feed it to animals, or sell it. No need to put it in our engines and ruin them.

 

[NUCatswin]

can't let them score here... things could get out of hand!

 

[phatcat]

I love good defense, but we simply must have some offense.

 

[HawkCat]

More importantly, why did Tiernan utterly whiff his block.

 

[TheC]

Do OL need to learn how to block at the college level? I just don’t understand if it’s poor coaching or just recruiting guys who will never be able to execute at this level.

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Brutal missed block and drop on that possession. Killers.

 

[JimStarr777]

Thinking the exact same thing.

Stop running? It’s called being tackled by the one defender who had any chance. Perfect play call, Two NU OL and all they had to do is put one Nebraska defender on the ground and they completely whiffed. Pathetic.

True the announcers just pointed that out. That screen should have gone to Himon anyway because he could have probably beat that guy to the marker even without the block.

 

[TheC]

How many times does their QB have to beat us with his feet on 3rd and long before we ****ing pay attention!!

 

[corbi296]

Dumb.

Just make the block.

 

[Deeringfish]

I think our secondary is pretty good

Ba hahahahahahaha

Porter was the problem on the screen?

 

[FanatiCat]

Awesome PBU. It’s just gut wrenching like 2019 to watch the D make stop after stop and the O does absolutely nothing. It’s hard to even get that excited about a defensive stop when we are behind and you have the feeling that they could stop Nebraska for 0 yards the rest of the game and we’d still lose 10-6 because we cannot move the ball.

 

[TheC]

Ba hahahahahahaha

Why do you have to be such an ass to everyone on the board? I just don’t understand it. It’s so unpleasant.

 

[phatcat]

No. Left.tackle gave up on block

 

[TheC]

Nice tough running by Cam there!

 

[Deeringfish]

Finally a big play with no penalty.

 

[phatcat]

Can we retire the Wildcat?

 

[TheC]

Another blocking penalty killing a promising drive.
