Game Thread: Northwestern @ Nebraska

[TheC]

Nebraska scores here and it’s over.

I mean, are the OL trying to get Anderson fired at this point? We have a CRITICAL makeable 3rd and 3 and we end up 4th and 14. That field position change very likely may cost the game.

 

[Deeringfish]

That's the ball game. talk to you later fellas

 

[TheC]

Good nigh kitties

 

[wildcatpn]

Priebe also looks awful. His effort and technique on that last sack were terrible.

 

[Sheffielder]

Offensive effort feels desperately hopeless, I honestly don't even remember feeling this badly about it last season, but I admit we're just in the moment right now.

 

[Overly_Invested_Cat]

So ugly. Hilinski please!

 

[HawkCat]

I am SO tired of our OL. Does Anderson coach them or only feed them? Our program will never recover until we fix the OL.

 

[corbi296]

I’ve been a Kurt Anderson defender because he inherited crap from Cushing but at this stage of his tenure it’s hard to defend the crap we are seeing out there. He is a good recruiter, his players love him, the run blocking is decent but these guys can’t pass block for shit. NU should be winning this game and they are not solely because of the pathetic OL play.

 

[Overly_Invested_Cat]

We can score 10 points in a quarter without him.

 

[zbag51]

Damn. Doesn’t seem like we can come back. Wonder how the game would have gone with Bryant. Defense looked great all day.

The OL self inflicted wounds are staggering.

 

[corbi296]

So ugly. Hilinski please!

Hilinski will get killed within 10 plays playing behind this OL.

 

[Overly_Invested_Cat]

Can’t they hire whoever coached Rashaun Slater in his off year?

 

[catcrazy]

Tiernan is terrible. Don't move. Block someone. Everyone should be fired. Lower academic standards. Get offensive players who can play. Outside of our wide receivers and Himon no one seems to have athletic ability. Our team is worse than some D-2 teams

 

[mesacat]

Play Hilinski, Sutton ain't doing it

 

[gocatsgo2003]

Hilinski will get killed within 10 plays playing behind this OL.

Might have a shot to get the ball out. Sullivan just doesn’t seem to process all that well.

Tiernan penalized again

 

[phatcat]

They're done

 

[Rebel II]

Respond, there is still plenty of time to win.

 

[TheC]

This is a program that was rotting from the core under Fitz the last few years and we’re seeing the results.

 

[Rebel II]

They're done

 

[TheC]

Great play but he didn’t get in so we’re screwed

 

[Rebel II]

Really?

 

[TheC]

He had a damn guy open!!

 

[TheC]

Sullivan simply doesn’t know how to play quarterback

 

[zbag51]

If only made that throw on second down, woulda be a TD instead of no gain and a FG

 

[DaCat]

Stupid play calling by Jake.

 

[HawkCat]

Sullivan simply doesn’t know how to play quarterback

Yep. Folks can blame play calling all they want, but that is a great play call with bonehead QB play.

 

[TheC]

It’s depressing when you have a big exciting pass play but your receiver gets caught from behind at the 5 and you know you won’t get a touchdown now.

 

[corbi296]

Stupid play calling by Jake.

He forgot to call the touchdown play. How dumb of him.

 

[benoitdenizetl]

He was so open. It’s a real bummer how bad this offense is when it counts

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Just had a feeling that if we didn’t score on the long pass we’d have to settle for a fg. At least 2nd time one of our guys were running for a td and got caught from behind short of the goal line.

 

[phatcat]

Great play but he didn’t get in so we’re screwed

Yeah I was briefly excited but then let down when Kirtz got tackled. Knew we wouldn't get in

 

[HawkCat]

Stupid play calling by Jake.

Are you just trolling now?

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Yeah I know we wouldn’t get a TD. It’s a bummer

 

[gocatsgo2003]

Sullivan just doesn’t trust it if it isn’t wide ass open with a clear line of sight. That’s not how QB is played at the P5 level.

 

[Rebel II]

Relax, lots of time left! They are turnover prone. Need one now.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

He forgot to call the touchdown play. How dumb of him.

He did though. Sullivan just refused to throw it.

 

[Zootcat]

We need Bryant back if we’re going to have a shot at a bowl game. I think we win this game if Bryant plays.
