Game Thread: Northwestern @ Nebraska

[BFDCat]

But drive killing penalty right after.

 

[FanatiCat]

Finally a big play with no penalty.

Not so fast. $&!!?& we just screwed ourselves out of FG range.

 

[Deeringfish]

Finally a big play with no penalty.

There i the penalty.

 

[NUCatswin]

so sloppy today with penalties

 

[BFDCat]

The play calling is atrocious

 

[FanatiCat]

This is a joke. How does Lausch not throw that away. Terrible field position awareness to lose yards at the edge of FG range.

 

[Darren72]

These penalties ….

 

[phatcat]

Dammit. Penalty cost 3 points

 

[FanatiCat]

Strong attempt by Olsen, can’t fault him for being a few feet short of the crossbar but accurate. If Lausch hadn’t taken a loss, that same kick would have probably cleared the crossbar.

We don’t recruit Power 5 level QBs. They all look terrified all the time.

 

[Deeringfish]

Terrible decision to kick. it's a four point game and the D is playing well. Punt and put them deep. The punter has been good so far.

 

[NUcats92]

Terrible play calling from a terrible play caller that simple….

 

[zbag51]

Finally generating some offense and then terribleness. Shoulda let Sullivan finish the drive.

 

[NCPurplecat]

Penalty was on other side of the field from the play 15 yard penalty was correct call. Announcers correct in sharing NU self inflicted mistakes.

 

[HawkCat]

The play calling is atrocious

What plays do you call when your OL is getting mauled and won’t hold any blocks?

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

We have a nice reception only to get backed up by chop block penalty. This offense is blowing good field position consistently series after series.

 

[Rebel II]

A skinny chick in a ponytail making a crucial penalty in a game is not my idea of quality officiating. Was there a cut block?

 

[catcrazy]

Our team is embarrassingly bad on offense. We need a bunch of transfers in next year and essentially all new coaches maybe with the exception of the WR coach on offense. Anderson should stop coaching because he obviously doesn't have the acumen to properly coach and develop a line

 

[TheC]

That TD play from earlier in the year would be nice

 

[corbi296]

Strong attempt by Olsen, can’t fault him for being a few feet short of the crossbar but accurate. If Lausch hadn’t taken a loss, that same kick would have probably cleared the crossbar.

Hard to take you seriously when you don’t even know who had the ball on that play. that was Sullivan, not Lausch and he didn’t throw it away because he was in the box and nobody was open. He would have been called for grounding the ball.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

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

It was a funny post, so I laughed.

 

[TheC]

Can’t afford to lose Saka

 

[corbi296]

A skinny chick in a ponytail making a crucial penalty in a game is not my idea of quality officiating. Was there a cut block?

She didn’t throw the flag o. that call. I think she was actually trying to talk the referee into picking up the flag because Gordon was in the box. That should not have been a penalty.

 

[FanatiCat]

Such a bittersweet feeling watching this defensive effort. Really happy for these awesome stops but seems like it is for naught with the totally incompetent offense. And now our great young players are getting hurt, Saka and Flakes…

 

[TheC]

God…I’d love a TD here

 

[Deeringfish]

OK OK, one series without shooting ourselves in the foot.

 

[DaCat]

Our offense is unwatchable. Bajakian and Anderson s_ck.

 

[Rebel II]

Let's be patient, we can easily still win this game. D has been super. All it takes is one TD!

 

[phatcat]

I know Neb is a bad team, but really no worse than the rest of the div. Defense looks pretty good.

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Can’t afford to lose Saka

Couldn’t afford to lose Flakes either. Now we’re without both.

 

[FanatiCat]

Hard to take you seriously when you don’t even know who had the ball on that play. that was Sullivan, not Lausch and he didn’t throw it away because he was in the box and nobody was open. He would have been called for grounding the ball.

Seriously. Lausch took the snap right? So I was a little confused with the trickeration. It’s still a bad decision regardless of who had the ball.

 

[TheC]

Finally

 

[NUCatswin]

lets give Hilinski a chance

 

[TheC]

Another empty drive

 

[Rebel II]

Now get a turnover and score!

 

[gocatsgo2003]

She didn’t throw the flag o. that call. I think she was actually trying to talk the referee into picking up the flag because Gordon was in the box. That should not have been a penalty.

The issue is that Gordon started outside the boxz

 

[TheC]

Ok… another nice stop D. Rough field position though. This next drive may decide the game.

 

[corbi296]

The issue is that Gordon started outside the boxz

He motioned into the backfield and reset just before the snap.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

He motioned into the backfield and reset just before the snap.

Was still in a wing position outside the tackle.

 

[IMC Cat]

Priebe is like a turnstile out there
