Sure, it started with a 3 and out, but the first down throwaway was excellent.

Jesse Brown in on 3rd down

We probably should leave it there.

Minny throws a 15 yard slant on the first play. Why the heck can't we ever do that? What is so difficult about that play?

It's too simple for our playbook?

Hope you guys get a win today. Other than the Huskers, I always root for you guys. Fitz is a class act and a damn good coach. Good luck.

Getting open v press coverage

 

[Rodenthater]

Stop the slant and we stop them!

I'm so sick of our 3-and-out offense system.

I'm so sick of our 3-and-out offense system.

But it's the most complex 3 and out system in the country, it takes years for our QBs to learn it.

What do you mean? Hunter hasn't played in weeks and he mastered it on the first drive of the game! 3 and out!!

 

[phatcat]

Holding penalty did them a favor. Forced them to pass. Why they are running is beyond me

 

[NUCat320]

Geez, Bateman. To have talent like that on the NU roster...

 

[DaCat]

Pitch and catch for Minny. We have them right where we want.

 

[TheC]

My lord, Ohio State is scary good. Drive right down the field for 91 yards and a TD on their opening series.

 

[iskaboo]

Hunter must have been practicing the sack play last week.

 

[TheC]

4 drop backs, 2 sacks and 1 hurry. Good god.

 

[Rodenthater]

HJ is overwhelmed

 

[Turk]

Geez. Seems like the defense isn't prepared for any pass play. Special teams suck as the punter is barely getting it past the los. The offense is worse than high school. Pee wee. No fundamentals being taught. Nothing.

 

[phatcat]

Sure would be nice to have him have time to throw a few times. Sure he's gonna be rusty rusty but he's been hit or chased every pass play

Having wideouts that can actually effectively run the route?

 

[Turk]

The line moved up to 16 points. I refuse to bet against our cats but my gosh that was tempting.

 

[TheC]

Last post and I'm out of here.... why do we have punters who kick worse than high school teams? Fitz can get some good defensive kids, but every other part of this program is atrocious.

 

[Turk]

We need to run the ball exclusively. Maybe spread it out so there are some spaces. But no more passing.

 

[iskaboo]

We have had a lot of punting opportunities; you would think we would be a bit better at it after all that practice.

 

[Bwm57]

A decent punter could help get you out of a hole. That’s two punts, 29.5 yard average.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

HJ is overwhelmed

...by the fact that we can’t block or get open.

The whole offense is broken at this point.

 

[DaCat]

Watching this offense is definitely reminiscent of the Dark Ages. What the hell happened to this team?

LMAO turned to that game to see how Ped State did after kickoff. Commercial. Fox. Sheesh

 

[TheC]

One more unrelated post... as a Cincinnati Bengal fan, I really want them to use their first pick on Chase Young. Way better than any available QB. Sorry. I'll show myself out.

At least we could punt in the Dark Ages .... remember John Kidd?

 

[drewjin]

Oh you rubes! You just don't understand complimentary football!!!

 

[BFDCat]

This is too painful, going to watch the Buckeyes dismantle PSU, that will be enjoyable.Chase Young is a freaking sack machine, jesus

 

[TejasCat]

Our team has flat given up

 

[phatcat]

Interstate 94...

 

[DaCat]

Fitz brought this on himself with his stubbornness about not addressing the huge problem with the offense. It has broken this team.

 

[iskaboo]

First Down!

 

[phatcat]

Yay we have positive yards!

 

[FanatiCat]

Gonna cover the spread in the first quarter. Final score may not be that terrible though as they will take out their starters at halftime.
