Can't make the chat work on my old lap top so here we go.
ope we can get out with just a FG here

 

[Deeringfish]

Gonna be a long season

 

[stpaulcat]

Gonna be a long season

Agreed. Looks like the same old, same old. But let's see how the game progresses. Has Fitz and staff woken up? So far doesn't seem so.

 

[Deeringfish]

Defense has it's moments Gonna have to take over the game.

 

[EvanstonCat]

Got them to punt

 

[TejasCat]

That unnecessary face mask cost us field position, we need a few first downs here.

 

[EvanstonCat]

Dumb penalty, but 3 and out is promising.

 

[Deeringfish]

I liked the option call. Let Thorson pick his hit.
Looking better.
Jackson is going to take the pressure off Thorson.

 

[epicbret]

Walker playing like a monster. Gonna have a huge year

 

[Deeringfish]

It's a ball game after all.
Go Cats

 

[EvanstonCat]

Should have kept pounding on the ground

 

[CoralSpringsCat]

MERTZ!

 

[stpaulcat]

That was a better drive, but still too many similarities to last year. O Line looking good on the run.

 

[kreggk]

Either Thorson throws a low ball or O line is getting pushed backwards on pass protection. Thoughts?

Defense is really being aggressive and it's working.

 

[stpaulcat]

Defense is playing well, but won't sustain unless we get longer offensive drives like the last one.

 

[FrankBear21]

Let's go Wildcats!!

 

[TejasCat]

Either Thorson throws a low ball or O line is getting pushed backwards on pass protection. Thoughts?

North got destroyed on that one deflection. Maybe Thorson should have side stepped the pressure.

 

[epicbret]

As long as the defense stays healthy they will keep the Cats in games

 

[Seattle_Cat]

Either Thorson throws a low ball or O line is getting pushed backwards on pass protection. Thoughts?

Rollouts would make sense

 

[epicbret]

Walker again. Wow.

 

[TejasCat]

What the F is up with these spots on punts? that went out at the 30

 

[EvanstonCat]

Just keep pounding the ball and then play action

 

[Deeringfish]

Either Thorson throws a low ball or O line is getting pushed backwards on pass protection. Thoughts?

Still early may be settling in. Throws it on a rope but there are a lot of defenders on the rope.

 

[TejasCat]

thats 3 high snaps by North

 

[kreggk]

North needs to change his game quickly.

 

[Deeringfish]

Defense is going to have to score today.

 

[stpaulcat]

Thorson appears like he's gonna have a good, long career. However, NU being NU, if it isn't one thing, it is something else that stops drives. Put the backup center in. Now.

 

[FrankBear21]

Told you all Stanfurd was overrated.

 

[Deeringfish]

thats 3 high snaps by North

He must be having an adrenaline rush. Trying to launch out of his stance?

 

[beetlemania74]

Told you all Stanfurd was overrated.

Or we're just better than expected. Our defense looks legit, but our offense is going to have some growing pains.

 

[Deeringfish]

Got away from pressure but pressure messed him up

 

[Katatonic]

If not pound the ball, should have moved the pocket on that last scoring drive.

But then again, it has been an adventure thus far with Thorson passing the ball (looks like a QB in his 1st start).

Bad snaps and poor kick and the 'Cats are again losing the field position battle.

 

[Deeringfish]

Need a strip on thses runs up the middle
Or keep sacking

 

[EvanstonCat]

2 sacks already, I like it.

 

[epicbret]

Lowry is abusing that tackle

 

[TejasCat]

feels like last year, when our D plays well, our offense is even worse and we lose field position.

 

[Deeringfish]

2 sacks already, I like it.

I love sacks. Gets into the QB's head.

 

[Katatonic]

Told you all Stanfurd was overrated.

Or maybe the 'Cats D is underrated.

 

[catcrazy]

Auston Anderson time!!
