Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Iowa

[TheC]

20 yard penalty

 

[NU Houston]

McNamara threw it right to him. That was a bad decision, but I'll take it.

It's like our defense has to put points on the board to win this game because it's not coming from the offense.

 

[TheC]

Crush this traitor

 

[MC_Cat]

Incredible play!!

(Could have done without the stupid slashing signal which will cost us field position)

Amazing amazing play but as Ron Burgundy says, stay classy....

 

[FeralFelidae]

Why call a timeout to give Iowa time to change their mind about going for it?

 

[TheC]

No mistakes and 7 points might be enough with these two offenses

 

[NU Houston]

Get rid of the ball, Jack!

 

[TheC]

Another moronic call from Lujan

 

[loyolacat]

it is one thing to make a mistake another not to learn.....Yikes

 

[FeralFelidae]

I think it's a safety, unfortunately.

 

[phatcat]

I cannot believe that sack. He is simply not ready. May never be

 

[FanatiCat]

Ok I think I’m done with this playcalling. After what happened last week we call a PASS OUT OF THE END ZONE on first down, not try to get a couple yards so he has room to drop back.

 

[TheC]

Can we fire this ****ing idiotic OC

 

[loyolacat]

might have a qb on both teams replaced...

 

[mesacat]

Deja bye. Criminal

 

[Ilvolino]

How can we try to pass again from the end zone. We need new coaches

 

[jimlonergan]

Trust the run! How many sacks and safeties do we allow before we make a change? I saw the Wisconsin mess and here we go and do it again!!

 

[TheC]

Quit fair catching inside the 10!

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

Let the ball go.

 

[phatcat]

Another fair catch at the 5

 

[Ilvolino]

Another drive from our own 5. Try another pass

 

[TejasCat]

Another dumb fair catch inside the 5, such a poorly coached team

 

[AtlantaCat]

MORONIC OC.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Quit fair catching inside the 10!

That time, I agree. Usually Iowa's punt team is waiting behind him at the 1.

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Another fair catch at the 5

This one more egregious, as Iowa players weren’t in any position to down it.

 

[jensberg]

MORONIC OC.

Wow not only do we need a new offensive coordinator but I'm starting to question our head coach and of course our quarterback is very very questionable

 

[TheC]

Has Himon ever made positive yards on a handoff?

 

[Go Catz]

They need to get after Sullivan when he's in there.

 

[Go Catz]

Ferentz is gonna cream his pants with these punts on the 5

 

[NU Houston]

Might as well try to block the punt if this is the result every time.

 

[TheC]

We learned something!!

 

[NU Houston]

This is the ugliest game since....last year's Iowa game.

BTN didn't used to have this many commercials.

 

[jensberg]

Might as well try to block the punt if this is the result every time.

Why not replace Lausch could it really be worse

 

[TheC]

Sullivan barking at our sideline after a 3 yard run. What a dick.

 

[FeralFelidae]

This is Iowa football. Kaleb will eventually break one.

 

[mesacat]

Inability to get a first down gives Iowa ball with over a minute to go

 

[2388bb]

Act like you've been there 15 yards hurts.

We all know how this going to turn out

 

[AdamOnFirst]

This is Iowa football. Kaleb will eventually break one.

We talk about Cam Porter as a good back, and he’s a good back, but then you look around the Big Ten and realize a lot of teams have guys like Johnson… that’s a GOOD back

 

[TheC]

Minnesota destroying Maryland. I think that win was fools gold.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Minnesota destroying Maryland. I think that win was fools gold.

It wasn’t fools gold. Maryland sucks. If you didn’t know Maryland sucks, I don’t know where you’ve been. NU beat up a bad team on the road, which is what an okay team should do.

No win for this northwestern team is fools gold. In this conference we either need to get a lot better, a lot more talented, or get every single win we can.
