Jackson is soooo slow

He is not fast but that play is on Thorson. He needs to hold the ball one count longer and make the edge of the defense commit to him before pitching. As we know, that play is not Clayton's forte right now.

Thank you for explaining.

 

[BigNUFan51]

this reminds me of the Nebraska game thus far.

 

[TheC]

Thank you Iowa

 

[DrillCat]

JJ is da man!

 

[Husker Andy]

GO CATS!

 

[DrillCat]

Carr= Ebert?

 

[phatcat]

Thor is good with a solid pocket

 

[DrillCat]

Cmon cats!

 

[DrillCat]

Wasted down

 

[phatcat]

Need TD

 

[DrillCat]

Nice coverage by Hog#13

 

[corbi296]

Thank you Iowa

Reminds me of the game against Iowa a few years back when we sacked the Iowa Qb and recovered the fumble in the end zone for a TD. I believe we won 17-7. I like the flow of this game right now.

Austin Carr ex Cav

 

[TheC]

What a really nice throw

 

[beetlemania74]

Northwestern is averaging 16.5 ppg. They have 10 in the first quarter at Iowa.

17 points after 20 minutes. And Mitchell's making his kicks. I'll take it.

Thorson has a howitzer of an arm when he sets his feet and doesn't shit his pants

 

[lou v]

Thorson was 4-for-5 for 43 yards on that drive, including the 11-yard strike to Carr for the TD.

NU has now surpassed its average for points per game.

 

[ubercat]

Carr = Musso 2.0?

He won't "shit his pants" if he has more than two seconds without the pocket collapsing. Better protection today.

 

[DrillCat]

Hogs DL is worse than ours.

 

[DrillCat]

Let's go cats!

I'm at home alone watching the game. I almost never do this. Only three times before:

@Nebraska, 2011.
@Sparty, 2012
@Nebraska 2015

Maybe I just need to watch in seclusion?

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Love the defensive pressure! Wrassler style six man front

 

[TheC]

3 and out. Love it!

You need a comfy, schmumfy....

Well said chicagocatsfan. Great arm

 

[DrillCat]

Wow. Heart breaking catch for The hog fans!

 

[DrillCat]

Happy feet

 

[Sheffielder]

Why are Iowa fans doing the gator chomp?

 

[phatcat]

Damn King . annoying

 

[TheC]

Uh oh.... need a play to keep the momentum.

 

[beetlemania74]

That last third down play was a problem. If Iowa can get that type of pass rush with only four guys rushing, then we're in trouble. Thorson's not going to find anyone open when Iowa has seven guys back in coverage.

 

[chicagocatfan24]

Game.... blouses

 

[beetlemania74]

That was a tremendous catch. Hats off.

 

[TheC]

Oh well.... lost the momentum. Need to take it back.

 

[Deeringfish]

That was a tremendous catch. Hats off.

If it was a catch.

 

[corbi296]

Fitz should have called TImeout to make sure that catch was reviewed. Poor decision making there.

 

[phatcat]

Played the screen perfectly, but they make a fantastic play and effing Whatley yet again. Wasnt feeling apathy just then. Just pissed
