Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Michigan

WOW. We officially have become Purdue, giving up. Well, actually Purdue put up a good fight last night.

A lot of this is on the coaches. They had a very poor game plan on both sides and apparently very poor preparation and inability to focus and discipline the team.

I didn’t “expect victory” today especially with this game being in Ann Arbor, but I expected us to be able to compete and have a chance to beat this very mediocre Michigan offense.

This may very well end up much worse than against Ohio State which is shocking

Michy is not going to ease up like OSU because they have something to prove. Although after this inevitable score they may try to rest all their starters to avoid injury before OSU (they have no prayer, but were giving them irrational exuberance now).
 
And then we have to play at Wrigley to a audience of primarily Illinois fans and get Trashed by them as well
Agree that our offensive coordinator needs to go. Our quarterback never goes out there's no plan for him to escape the pressure built into the play strategy.
 
Please put in another QB. Lausch can't handle the pressure is at risk for injury. We probably need him next week
 
Question - on the last Michigan TD, our middle LB (Uihlein) immediately ran to the left when the ball was snapped, leaving a huge hole in the D that the RB walked right through. Why does the LB do that instead of staying in place and plugging the gap in the line?
 
Makings of a blowout. Sad, since the defense plays quite well most of the time.
THe defense has been the side that has torched this game. It was 10-6 late in the first half and the defense gave up a disaster late TD and then another coming off the full rest of halftime. No excuses of being on the field for those tuddies, just getting steamrolled by a bad offense that still has better athletes.
 
Wow can we just shut this game down already. Pull ALL the starters on both sides and just hold a JV scrimmage for the rest.
 
3 straight TDs this defense just caved completely. For some reason I expected better but they are completely outmatched against a shit UM team that will get destroyed next week.
 
Nice guy and nothing personal, but I never want to see Hilinski play again for NU except maybe in victory formation.

New AD must take action.

The D can stay in the game until the offense continues to shit the bed and bring them down with it. Complementary football.

Well then you definitely won't see him again because there's not going to be a victory for nation
 
Why pile on Lausch when the D just gave up 3 straight TDs in a stretch where our O only had 1 real drive?
Forget it, they're rolling. IT's definitely our QB and OC's fault that our defense gave up a horirble TD drive and gave up another right out of halftime. They were probably tired from Lauschs halftime speech.

The defense and offense, and coaching, have all sucked today. NU football's version of tastes great, less filling.
 
I’m sorry, but for a guy who is an athlete, Lausch’s reads in the option and RPO game are completely horrible. Like godawful. He makes the wrong reads frequently. These are the simplest reads in modern football, it’s not gonna work like this.
