Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Illinois

[NUCat320]

Oh no. That’s a Cole Freeman throw!

 

[TheC]

There's that Northwestern offense

 

[kaTNap]

Doesn't FEEL like we are ahead. They are clobbering us

They are officially clobbering us.

 

[catcrazy]

Well that was awesome??!! Dropped pass and playing catch with the opposition

 

[FeralFelidae]

What was that supposed to be?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

What the **** was that

 

[gocatsgo2003]

Give up call

I remain tired of Bajakian

mailing it in

That play right there is why you call a run play on 3rd and 26.

 

[Catslash]

Take a knee and limit your damage

 

[TheC]

Braun has been a miracle worker this year, but we have so little talent on offense.

 

[FanatiCat]

Guess that might be the play that sealed the game for us. We’re toast the way the game is going now. Those first 14 points were nothing if they will end up winning 45-21.

 

[SadCat]

Great comeback this quarter by the Illini. The Fighting Berts are tough to beat.

 

[NCPurplecat]

Worst play if season?? NU gets the ball back to start second half so that compounds the mistake.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

What was that supposed to be?

What the **** was that

Henning was running a wheel out of the slot trying to get a little bit of a pick and got knocked off his route. Still not a ball that should have been thrown.

 

[NUCat320]

He is crafty. Has very good vision and doesn’t go down easy. No long speed but that’s ok.

Again.

Cam Johnson is a fine player.

And again.


NU *should* be moving the ball at will.

Calm down.

A dysfunctional play all around. Route combo looked totally broken as you diagrammed and both the decision to throw and the location were nonsense

 

[TheC]

No harm. Use the timeout and you still have 2 more shots at the endzone

 

[Hungry Jack]

Oh no. That’s a Cole Freeman throw!

Carl Richardson special

 

[Hungry Jack]

Those 6 losses say otherwise

Braun has been a miracle worker this year, but we have so little talent on offense.

We must have developed some offensive talent since the last series.

 

[TerraCat]

What we are seeing right now, in response to that pick six is a LONG way from the past two years of FITZBALL. These guys have HEART!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Gotta say I absolutely love the decision to put the ball back in Bryant’s hands and be aggressive

 

[FeralFelidae]

NU *should* be moving the ball at will.

There once was a time when 21 points was considered a lot for a half.

 

[Dugan15]

Take a knee and limit your damage

Not sure that would have been the right play.

 

[NCPurplecat]

Great drive. Fumble TD but needed.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Tyus sure has some good feet for a big back

 

[TheC]

What a weird game!

Jesus, you guys are really the least knowledgeable and most fickle fans in college football.

 

[mesacat]

Sometimes it's good to be lucky

 

[gocatsgo2003]

This team makes no goddamn sense. But Fitz 100000% would’ve just kneeled that half out after the pick.

 

[catcrazy]

I know Tyus is not the number one guy but he has really developed into a good back and need to convince him to stay

 

[DaCat]

This team makes no goddamn sense. But Fitz 100000% would’ve just kneeled that half out after the pick.

Sadly true in all likelihood. Love Braun’s attitude. And this team doesn’t give up. A lot of nervous Nellies here today.

 

[corbi296]

I know Tyus is not the number one guy but he has really developed into a good back and need to convince him to stay

I’d be surprised if he is not back. I also think the freshman RB, Chris K, will be a strong contributor next year.

One million percent. Love the decision by Braun to let his senior QB cook. Let your best players cook!

Caleb.

 

[phatcat]

I'm pretty happy to be ahead after that long stretch of shit-ball

 

[mesacat]

We're bowl eligible. Like playing with House Money.

 

[phatcat]

Dumb KOR Henning

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

I like we came back for the td in the final minute of the 1st half. We had a strong start but let things slip away. Let’s beat the Illini!

 

[phatcat]

No answer for Cam Johnsom
