Official game thread for NU vs. NU

[wildcatson]

We have no offense. None. Nada. Haven,t had for the entire season.

 

[willycat]

Interesting. People want passing more on first down. The one time we'd probably want a run on first down NU calls a pass and lets four Huskers through the line to attack Thorson. Didn't have a chance.

Thorson is throwing to the guys in black and off of his back foot. Everyone knew that the blitz was coming except the NU QB and coaches.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Thorson vp can't friggen throw! Yank him and see what Oliver can do

 

[stpaulcat]

How can we possibly CONTINUE to blow great opportunities? Is Nebraska that much better than us?

 

[Bwm57]

I have never seen the jump in the air to avoid the pass rush play before, but I like it!!

 

[footballfan 76]

Guy wide open over the middle but go ahead blame the line

 

[Hungry Jack]

This is tough to watch.

 

[EvanstonCat]

Our offense blows. Our punter blows.

Awful. Just awful.

 

[corbi296]

Thorson is playing scared right now.

For the first time this season I feel that Thorson has lost his nerve.He is very jittery back there, is not setting his feet when he throws and just overall seems very anxious. I think he is playing scared right now.

No that's why we are still in this game.

 

[pawildcat]

What a complete joke! Ten guys in the box! Thorson needed to roll out and complete that great opportunity

Or great spot for a draw play. Get a couple of key blocks and he's still running.

 

[phatcat]

I really like Walker. He is a great player. Our defense is doing its job, but where is our offense and special teams?

He has a ton of talent. Got schooled for the last 2 weeks though. Completely invisible. Good to have him back

 

[FeliSilvestris]

Amazing that Nebby didn't go for it on 4th and 2 from near midfield....
Then again, they were second and 2 and could't get a single yard in two tries.

 

[NWburbs Cats fan]

CT is combat ineffective

 

[CatsUnderStars]

we need to reassess our offensive goals. Let's get a first down, so our defense does play their lungs out in the first half.

 

[TejasCat]

Or great spot for a draw play. Get a couple of key blocks and he's still running.

Why would we do that? We would catch them off guard.

 

[beetlemania74]

i don't how we are winning this game. If we can wake up, we have a chance, but our defense is gonna get worn down

Yep. This is what I was afraid of. The offense has to sustain drives and score points, and they're obviously not doing that today.

 

[phatcat]

On every swing pass our CB runs smack into the blocker and ties up

 

[nuwildfan2]

No that's why we are still in this game.

.

Better question is Nebraska D that much better then our O and the answer right now is yes

 

[CatsDad]

I am worried about that. No reason Walker shouldn't be a top backer, he has all the tools.

 

[TejasCat]

HOLY SHIT

 

[FLCat07]

That's how we need to score!!!

 

[SockpuppetCat]

The best offense is a good defense!

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Nick!!!!!

 

[CatsUnderStars]

on second thought...maybe we don't need an ofense

 

[Alvious]

To say "We needed that" is the understatement of the year. Go D! Go 'Cats!

 

[Bwm57]

We are hanging in there. If we can return 6-7 interceptions for TD's we can win this.

 

[Seattle_Cat]

At least the defense came to play today.

 

[CatsDad]

Wow, horrible decision by Armstrong. Maybe the one who doesn't make the dumbest choices will win.

 

[phatcat]

Hahaha my buddy has been saying we need a pick six over and over.

 

[pawildcat]

That throw by Armstrong was dumber than anything Thorson has done this game. Unbelievable for an experienced senior.

 

[wildcatson]

If it wasn't for our defense, we'd have no offense at all.

 

[phatcat]

Wow, horrible decision by Armstrong. Maybe the one who doesn't make the dumbest choices will win.

Then it will be quite a contest!

Just win baby

 

[FeliSilvestris]

A perfect pass from the Nebby's QB to a NU's defender...If CT consistently threw passes like that to NU's receivers the O would work great!!

 

[beetlemania74]

We have no offense. None. Nada. Haven,t had for the entire season.

Haven't really had a legit, consistent offense since 2012 with V. Mark. This is nothing new.

 

[CatsDad]

The faces on Nebraska fans priceless. " How the hell are we losing to Northwestern?"

Outside of last year, we've been competitive with them since they entered the B1G.

 

[CatsDad]

I really like our defense.

Yeah but not like the latst 3 games

 

[FeliSilvestris]

Another terrible throw by Nebby's QB into coverage...this time it worked, though.
