Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Purdue

[SmellyCat]

Safety here?

Yeah, interested in seeing what Braun, Lujan, and Lausch have learned in the last couple of weeks.

 

[TheC]

Good play design there

 

[TheC]

What a blow...

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Purdue is dreadful, this is unacceptable

 

[FeralFelidae]

We're giving so much cushion to their receivers right now. I know it's part of "bend but don't break" but you shouldn't give them cushion beyond the first down marker.

 

[NUCatswin]

touch facemask call

 

[phatcat]

No pass rush

Lots of pressure now Lots. He gets away

 

[TheC]

Purdue is dreadful, this is unacceptable

I hate to say it but we're dreadful too

 

[cattul]

It’s not so great that it was necessary, but holding them to three in the red zone was huge.

It felt as if, should Purdue have scored there, it would likely be the final moment the Cats had the lead.

 

[TheC]

Lausch also doesn't read that option handoff well either

 

[phatcat]

Reminder, PU defense has been P...E...W

 

[TheC]

Phew!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Our receivers are so horrible

 

[NUCatswin]

questionable use of timeouts

 

[FeralFelidae]

Beautiful deep throw from Lausch, right through the arms.

 

[NU Houston]

Fussell is not having a good game on D.

Lausch doesn't seem to understand his options on RPO. He's running with it on every first down play.

 

[Eurocat]

Why did we call a timeout with four seconds left in the quarter? Just wait and you get a free timeout!

WTF?

 

[cattul]

Our receivers are so horrible

It’s too bad. It was one of the nicest deep throws I’ve seen from Lausch.

 

[TheC]

Why did we call a timeout with four seconds left in the quarter? Just wait and you get a free timeout!

WTF?

Clock had stopped for incomplete pass

 

[AtlantaCat]

Go for it.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Have to go for this, don't you think?

 

[corbi296]

Why did we call a timeout with four seconds left in the quarter? Just wait and you get a free timeout!

WTF?

The game clock was stopped and there was 1 second left on the play clock. They would have gotten a delay of game without the timeout. Lujan needs to get the play in earlier.

 

[NU Houston]

Why did we call a timeout with four seconds left in the quarter? Just wait and you get a free timeout!

WTF?

The game clock wasn't running. Still, there's now one TO left going into the fourth quarter.

 

[corbi296]

Go for it.

That’s should be a first down.

 

[corbi296]

Two big time throws from Lausch to Henning on that drive.

 

[Eurocat]

Clock had stopped for incomplete pass

So why call a timeout?

 

[TheC]

Lausch has got to read that blitz

 

[TheC]

So why call a timeout?

Play clock was at one second

 

[phatcat]

Needed that penalty whew

 

[FeralFelidae]

Lausch has got to read that blitz

Porter completely whiffed on the block.

 

[corbi296]

The snaps have been high all game. Throwing off the timing of the running game and RPO.

 

[SmellyCat]

It’s too bad. It was one of the nicest deep throws I’ve seen from Lausch.

Yeah. He gets the timing right on this one, but his WR fails him.

 

[phatcat]

Nice progression on pass to Olges edit Lang

 

[TheC]

TEs making some plays today!

 

[phatcat]

Gotta get 3. No sack

 

[TheC]

Get the damn play in Lujan!

 

[TheC]

Unbelievable

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Pathetic sequence

 

[corbi296]

Clock management by the staff has just been awful today.

 

[NUCatswin]

lets hope this clock management does not come back to bite us
