NU vs. MSU first-half thread

[lou v]

I'm watching this one from the couch today. Let's see if NU can continue its momentum and prolong the Spartans three-game losing streak.

MSU held a quarterback competition this week, but I'll be surprised if Tyler O'Connor isn't the starter.

So MSU comes out of the tunnel totally revved up and chanting some tribal thing and NU claps a little.

Din't seem like they were even interested in playing.

Well, I'm surprised. It's redshirt freshman Brian Lewerke.

99 Yard drive now

Surprise - O'Connor isn't starting, the freshman is. O'Connor is from my hometown Lima, Ohio but he hasn't moved the Spartan offense this year so not surprised with the switch at qb.

 

[Deeringfish]

This feels like the beginning of last years Iowa game

I'm still waiting for Niswander to hit a big punt in the clutch.

 

[Deeringfish]

Lou you need to talk to the guys at Rivals about hosting chat rooms during the games.

 

[lou v]

I'm still waiting for Niswander to hit a big punt in the clutch.

He's hit some big punts. But he hasn't yet really boomed one in a key spot.

 

[Deeringfish]

Not so surprised by the QB choice now

 

[corbi296]

No pressure whatsoever on the freshman QB. Way to build up his confidence. Why Fitz Why?

 

[TejasCat]

gonna be a long day if no pass rush.

 

[HawkCat]

We are not getting ANY pass rush at all.

 

[corbi296]

Like I said, still waiting for a big punt in the clutch.

 

[TheC]

Ain't gonna win with defense like that.

 

[chicagocatfan24]

Trae Williams looks like shit

 

[Fitz51]

Watching the game at a Sparty bar 7 miles off the Strip in Vegas. That first "drive" was quite predictable.

 

[chicagocatfan24]

Ballgame

 

[Fitz51]

Oh, man. Well, maybe I'll be back on the Strip by halftime!

 

[HawkCat]

Ballgame

It's abundantly clear we have not shown up today.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Yikes horrible start by the Cats.
Dickerson flinching on 3rd & 1 hurt.

 

[Deeringfish]

I think we lost this game coming out of the tunnel. NU looked disinterested compared to MSU.

 

[TheC]

What the F was he looking at? The DB was just sitting there.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

It's abundantly clear we have not shown up today.

You can tell that after four drives, one of which was a decent defensive stop and another was coming out of the shadow of our own goal posts?

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Horrible start!

 

[TejasCat]

are there any other good games on?

 

[chicagocatfan24]

Another dud after the bye week for Fitz. Totally unacceptable

 

[xxjfgxx]

When will the geniuses give someone else a chance to play QB? When it's 38-0?

 

[corbi296]

Quitter. You obviously have never played organized sports. Stick to watching games from your mom's basement.

 

[FLCat07]

You can't throw a floater to the outside and expect good things to happen. I HATE the 35 yard out route pass that has the maximum potential of a 5 yard gain. Too much can go wrong.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

You just Dont throw a bal likely that

 

[corbi296]

Right on cue, the other tool that posts on this board.

 

[Gladeskat]

We're off to a fast start! Go Cats!

 

[TheC]

Just a horrible pre-snap and post-snap read by Clayton.

 

[Gladeskat]

We're off to a fast start! Go Cats!

Now we're going even faster!

 

[corbi296]

Vault is soft. Goes down right away with no YAC on the WR screens and coughs up the ball as soon as he is hit on downfield passes.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Horrible

 

[Fitz51]

We're already in top insulting each other form.

 

[TheC]

That's incomplete

 

[TejasCat]

Thorson had a WR wiiiide open over the middle on that 2nd down play before the "fumble"
