Holiday Bowl Second-Half Thread

[lou v]

Well, that sucked.

NU is in a bad, bad spot. They can’t run the ball. They can’t protect Thorson. They don’t have Skowronek and Nagel. It’s gonna be tough sledding for the offense. Somehow, some way they have to find a way to run the ball a little bit. They get a first down at the Utah 3 on that long pass to McGowan and they run three plays for zero yards and have to settle for a FG. That said it all. The OL is getting dominated. And we all love Fitz’s aggressiveness, but that fourth down call...

Defensively, NU rose up to force field goals and a turnover. But Shelley has all day to throw. They need to get some pressure on him.

Let's see what Mr. Drake Anderson can do...

Lou,

I will start second half thread same way as first. Thanks to you and Chappy for all the good work this year. Maybe luck will find us in the second half.

 

[Figrating]

Thing I like about this team is that it has CHARACTER! GO CATS!

 

[DaCat]

As noted on TV we were down 17 in the B1G Championship game too at halftime. Let's make a huge comeback.

It’s cold here. It’s raining. There’s no hot cocoa. The Cats are getting slapped around. But it’s great to be alive and among friends. Wildcat fans are great people.

Happy New Year Jack!

 

[Alvious]

I approve that drive. Wow!

 

[HawkCat]

I approve that drive. Wow!

As badly as the first half started, the second half couldn’t have started better! Go Cats!

 

[phatcat]

Adjustments???

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Let’s do this!

 

[TheC]

Boy did Wildcat Nation need that!

 

[TheC]

Adjustments???

They ran the touchdown play! Finally!!

 

[phatcat]

Seriously a screen?

 

[Hungry Jack]

Happy New Year Jack!

And to you!

 

[eastbaycat99]

Need to try Bowser to keep them honest.

 

[TheC]

Uggh... that 3 and out was a momentum killer. We were on such a high.

 

[freewillie07]

What was Thorson barking at the ref about? Late hits?

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

That 3 and out...... ughhhhhh.

 

[DaCat]

Elite Thorson shows up on the first series, Crappy Thorson returns on the second series. Story of our season.

God bless you for going and supporting our guys

 

[TheC]

Why can't we do that???

 

[Katatonic]

Adjustments???

More like McCall finally moving the pocket like he should have done earlier (and then goes right back to forgetting about it); at least he didn't wait until the 4th Q this time around.

 

[Chuckster1973]

As the announcer said at halftime it's a game of quarterbacks. In the first half their's was much much better maybe that will change this half.

 

[BACAT5844]

Their QB play is much better than ours today.

 

[TheC]

Oh well.... so much for momentum.

 

[Alvious]

Big D!

 

[TheC]

Oh well.... so much for Utah's momentum
!!!!!!!!!

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

yeah baby~!!!!!

 

[mcdadenets50]

Let’s go!

 

[CatManTrue]

We are really missing Hall, Thompson, and especially Hartage on defense. This backup RS FR QB is tearing us up, much like the last two games.

Our offensive gameplan, as usual, leaves much to be desired. I don’t see why we retained Cushing for the bowl game, same sieve blocking as always. I can’t wait for a new OL coach.

McGee to the rescue!!

 

[phatcat]

So... Did Shelley create a monster? Ba boom boom

 

[HawkCat]

yeah baby~!!!!!

Gaziano on the strip? That’s why we stick with them, folks!

 

[TheC]

That may have been the most exciting play all season. Damn, that was fun!!

 

[DaCat]

GAZILLA!!!!

McGee!!

TD !!!!!

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Bend don't break and be opportunistic!

 

[freewillie07]

Props to McGee for the awareness that he had the opening to pick it up and outsprint everyone else. Could have easily fallen on it, especially given the weather, but he made the gamebreaking effort.

 

[DaCat]

How come we never can kick it out of the end zone?

[chariots]

This is fun!

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Holy smokes batman!
