Official second-half thread: Minn vs. NU

[lou v]

Clayton Thorson is 8-of-10 for 71 yards in the first half. That's 7.1 ypa. Not too shabby.

Minnesota's last four drives netted 21 yards.

 

[Deeringfish]

Flynn is getting some action

 

[Deeringfish]

Looks like JJ is getting a series off

 

[Deeringfish]

What a catch. They will call that back.

That was still a great play and opens things up

 

[SmellyCat]

Anyone still dislike Thorson now? I mean Vault made an amazing catch, but Thorson put it where only his receiver could make the catch. Beautiful.

 

[FeliSilvestris]

Terrible call reversal...NO way there is indisputable visual evidence to reverse the call!

Absolutely correct

 

[nuwildfan2]

What an awful call!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Vault and Shuler got wheels

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

That was a TD

 

[Deeringfish]

Really need to punch this in.

The TD should have counted...nevertheless you do not judge a QB on a single play, good or bad...I thought that was obvious.

Big Alex Olah sighting!

Big Alex Olah sighting!

Doesn't the BB team get some kind of special seating? They should

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Let's get a Td. Play action

 

[Deeringfish]

Let's get a Td. Play action

well, it was a nice drive took a ton off the clock and ended with a score. If we can move that well into the wind...?

 

[Deeringfish]

3and out right now

 

[rmndcat]

What? No video review of the field goal?

/s

 

[footballfan 76]

Ever notice how we continually get calls against us at home!! Never get any home cooking or calls

 

[Deeringfish]

Great stop In the QB's face alot

 

[FeliSilvestris]

This MN O looks downright inept...hopefully it is our D that is even better than thought.

Lets hope the Minny O is actually good and we are great

 

[rmndcat]

Lets hope the Minny O is actually good and we are great

Like Stanford and Duke....

 

[Deeringfish]

I think Long got his bell rung at the end of that last drive. Has anyone seen him

 

[RhabdoWildcat]

JJ just gets tougher late in the game! One of my favorite recent 'Cats!

 

[Deeringfish]

I think we win this game now

 

[Deeringfish]

JJ just gets tougher late in the game! One of my favorite recent 'Cats!

Just think how good he will be in two years when he is stronger and smarter and faster

 

[FeliSilvestris]

Minny D is done...exhausted...same as Duke's...Hopefully our conditioning is really good, also

 

[FeliSilvestris]

I agree. Reminiscent of DA-I (and may be DA-2 also?)

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need Long to pound the ball. Nice defense

 

[RhabdoWildcat]

Nice thing about a D like this, we don't need to score too many points to make the other team feel our boot on their throat!

 

[Deeringfish]

I think he is out

 

[Deeringfish]

I think Minny is getting ready to wave the white flag

 

[FeliSilvestris]

Amazingly stupid, that non-Punting by Minny...Can they do anything right?

 

[Deeringfish]

Time to put in AA

 

[Deeringfish]

Let's hope not

 

[SmellyCat]

Nice thing about a D like this, we don't need to score too many points to make the other team feel our boot on their throat!

A 10-point lead with this defense in the fourth quarter makes me VERY confident. A 20-point lead might as well be a hundred, because when NU forces other teams into passing downs, good things happen.

 

[FeliSilvestris]

Time to put in AA

Agree...a good work-out for him, and helps protect JJ....only problem is it makes too much sense!!

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

This MN O looks downright inept...hopefully it is our D that is even better than thought.

Imagine how bad they'd look if the refs actually enforced pick plays too. Is officiating really that difficult? Maybe it is, but at this level you would expect it to be better.

 

[Deeringfish]

We got lucky on that bounce
