Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Michigan

[FanatiCat]

Stop playing so soft! Make this QB throw it down field!!!

The his is what I was referring to we “guessed wrong” on the defensive gameplan. Why in the world with good corners are we playing as scared and soft on coverage against a bad passing team?

 

[phatcat]

This mich team is 118th in scoring at 20ppg, and about in the middle in scoring defense at 23ppg. Let's see how we do vs those avgs

 

[DaCat]

Defense comes up with the stop on 3rd and 9 with the Hubbard sack, yet they still get 3 points on a fricking 56 yard fg. Our punt that bounced backward 10 yards allowed that. Ugh one of those days.

 

[Figrating]

Starting in a 10 point hole. Gotta make this 1st

 

[TheC]

Lausch needs to throw the ball

 

[phatcat]

Let's get 2 pts here

 

[FanatiCat]

Lausch needs to throw the ball

Are we calling the right plays, is he not seeing things, or what. He is holding onto it again and we are not using him for runs. Our offense only really works when he runs. Why in the world do we take away that dimension.

 

[Figrating]

The NU O is gonna give this game away.

Agree I was just thinking of the same thing what happened to the RPO

 

[DaCat]

Nice rolling punt that time by Renner, hopefully we flipped the field and can take advantage of Michigan’s bad offense.

 

[FeralFelidae]

That punt was a nice break. A 3-and-out would be nice here.

 

[stpaulcat]

If the Cats can stay within 10 at the half, I bet they can stay within 20 by the end of the game.

 

[DaCat]

Lujan seems very forgetful

There's supposedly crappy quarterback has completed eight of nine passes

 

[FeralFelidae]

It was not a 3-and-out.

 

[FanatiCat]

What a disappointment. They are killing us with short outside passes. By the time we adjust at halftime this game will be well out of reach since we can’t seem to find any rhythm on offense and haven’t adjusted there either.

 

[phatcat]

Woohoo X man

 

[FeralFelidae]

Interception.

 

[AtlantaCat]

Again, Carselo sucks.

 

[TheC]

How are we in November and our Center still doesn't know how to snap the ball?

 

[FeralFelidae]

Bad snaps again.

 

[AtlantaCat]

He, too, appears to be "developing".

 

[jensberg]

Bad snaps again.

Absolutely no offense at all this is really sad considering it be at least move the ball against Ohio State

 

[FeralFelidae]

Where was the blocking there? They rushed 4 and ALL 4 pressured the QB?

 

[DaCat]

Awful series, wasting a great opportunity after Muellers interception. Lujan play calling seems truly shitty.

 

[NUCat320]

Again, Carselo sucks.

What a ‘bum’mer.

Defense needs to score once or twice today.

111 combined yards so far. Michigan scored with half a field.

 

[mesacat]

8

 

[stpaulcat]

Story of this season. If there is a foot, the cats will shoot themselves in it. A TD after the interception was a gimme.

 

[DaCat]

How are we in November and our Center still doesn't know how to snap the ball?

This is on the coaching staff for not fixing the problem. As we say in our management training classes, either change the person, or else change the person.

 

[FanatiCat]

Yeesh, we still give up 12 yards on 3rd and 14. Will have to do better than that if we want to get ahead and not simply try to hang on.

 

[DaCat]

In this complementary football world, our stellar defense deserves a better offense.

 

[DaCat]

How many more bad snaps by Carsello should we expect to see?

 

[stpaulcat]

Defense kinda has Michigan on the ropes. Can they score?

 

[SDakaGordie]

Defense kinda has Michigan on the ropes. Can they score?

So disappointing to get 3 there.

 

[NU Houston]

How many more bad snaps by Carsello should we expect to see?

Is that a rhetorical question?

 

[TheC]

Defense kinda has Michigan on the ropes. Can they score?

Frustrating that we gave up that early TD

 

[stpaulcat]

Why the F can't they score TDs, especially these gimmes?

 

[FeralFelidae]

I can live with 10-6 at the half after that start. Defense needs to hold here.

 

[FanatiCat]

So disappointing to get 3 there.

Definitely am opportunity that fell short being inside the 10. Instead of tying it up before half we are still down more than a FG, and they get the ball out of halftime. Let’s not allow this to become like the OSU game.

 

[IMC Cat]

Wink Martindale was successfully scheming up plans to stop the Eagles and Cowboys a year ago. I just don't see how our offense will score a TD today. Lujan completely overmatched.
