NU vs. MSU second-half thread

[lou v]

You gotta be happy with NU's performance after an absolutely disastrous start. From starting down 14-0 to leading 19-17 at the half? I'll take it.

Thorson recovered from the pick-six to finish the half 14-of-19 for 88 yards and 1 TD. Jackson has 98 yards rushing and NU is 5-for-10 on third downs.

Not bad.

Started with another screen out wide to Jackson. Excellent.

 

[FLCat07]

Hell of a start to the half!!!

And now wide open down field!

Bit down on the screen, wheel route wide open. Beautiful play call

 

[TejasCat]

Bam! Great read by Thorson. Now lets get a turnover and blow this thing open

We are winnin the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. You do that for the rest of the game and we come out with a W.

SPEED OPTION BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FLCat07]

Thorson actually ran the option correctly!!! Love it! Way to shake off a bad start and come storming back

 

[ColumbusCatFan1]

SPEED OPTION BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For 7 yards!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Wow! Great play

 

[ColumbusCatFan1]

Folks, I think we may have an offense again.

Outstanding game plan by McCall and the players are executing it at a high level.

Clean up the false starts and we'll REALLY have something.

YAAAAHOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Deeringfish]

NU has out scored them 33 to 3 since about 5 minutes in the first quarter.

Agreed. Up to this point in the game, McCall has called a fantastic game. I haven't been a fan of his, but I'm always willing to give credit when its due.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Godwin had the pick

 

[Deeringfish]

Talk about a game of inches. That was almost an interception.

 

[Deeringfish]

Godwin had the pick

Got his feet a little tangled up

 

[DaCat]

Can't let them back him. Hope we keep attacking with the passing game.

Just got home from The Buddy Walk. When I left the house we were down 7 and on the way heard it was then 14 for MSU . Heading back heard NU was ahead by 3. Great to see us now with 33 points though Michigan now with 24.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Never had control. Under review now.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Vault was not the probleem there

 

[Deeringfish]

good punt and coverage

 

[Deeringfish]

Not a clip?

Football is not complicated but tools like you still have trouble getting it.

97 Having a fun day

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Great strip!

 

[Deeringfish]

Need a first down

Are any of the mods going to curb this uncivilized savagery???

 

[Deeringfish]

They have been doubling on Jackson all half and we had great success when we went to the pass but now we are going all conservative and they are all over it.

 

[chicagocatfan24]

Well that's not good

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Horrible

 

[FLCat07]

[insert screaming F bomb]

 

[Hungry Jack]

Good grief

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Ran right by double coverage

 

[Deeringfish]

Good grief

I guess we can't complain about going into the prevent

 

[Figrating]

Good enough to win and bad enough to lose. Uh-huh. Cardiac CATS.
