Second-half thread for Northwestern-Nebraska

[lou v]

Well, NU got its ground game going in the first half, finishing with 127 yards on the ground. I hope NU sticks to the zone running game a little more in the second half. Jackson and Larkin are getting lots of room to run.

There have been big plays from both teams -- both the Cats and the Huskers each produced three plays of more than 20 yards.

Tanner Lee has thrown a few up for grabs and Queiro came down with two picks. With two INTs and 280 yards of offense, you feel like NU should be up by more than a field goal.

Nice long drive for a TD wins the game.

 

[Fitz51]

Coming into the half, the sideline reporter said that Fitz admitted he made a mistake, that he was "multitasking" and screwed up.

 

[Deeringfish]

Nice long drive for a TD wins the game.

That wasn't what I was thinking

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Thorson is choking

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Why stop running the ball??????

 

[phatcat]

Wow JJTBC is amazing

 

[FeralFelidae]

Well.

 

[Fitz51]

Oh, man, Clayton. Just looking awful.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Horrible throw

 

[TheC]

That was awful. This is how you lose games to teams you should crush..

 

[phatcat]

Alviti. Now. I am so sick of this

 

[BFDCat]

He has all day, how does he do that? Ridiculous.

 

[TejasCat]

So glad now we settled for that long FG at the end of the half. WTF Thorson.

 

[Deeringfish]

Are we into the wind here?

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Yank em

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

We should be winning by 14, instead, well

 

[BFDCat]

Huskers ****ing blow, we should be crushing them. Sickening.

 

[Fitz51]

I feel like I'd like to lose Thorson to the bench sometimes before losing him to the NFL.

 

[Deeringfish]

He has all day, how does he do that? Ridiculous.

He is not used to that kind of time

 

[Sheffielder]

If football is a game of momentum...

 

[phatcat]

Any other player. Any. That sucks balls. Comes out. Take him out

 

[NWFAN66]

And guys worry bout him leaving for NFL!!! Haha

 

[FanatiCat]

Yup, there goes the shot at securing win #6. Can’t mess the bed at the end of the half and the throw a pick six out of halftime. Chances of winning in the road after getting behind that way, probably 10%.

 

[TheC]

Sorry corbi, but that's Thorson overthrowing a short pass again. He threw that way harder than he had to and it sailed on him.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Better throws

 

[Alvious]

Thorson is killing us.

 

[corbi296]

We don't play well as favorites. We should be leading by two TDs but now we'll be lucky to scratch out a win. It starts with FItz.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Why stop running the ball??????

The pass was there. Thorson just blew it.

 

[BFDCat]

Face mask much? Come on refs!

 

[TheC]

Um... remember JJ?

 

[BFDCat]

Thorson just can’t make the throws, receivers are open.

 

[TejasCat]

So we have abandoned the run game. Thorson just not making the throws he should be making. All day back there.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

This play calling sucks

 

[phatcat]

We don't play well.

Fixed that for you

 

[BFDCat]

This drive by Huskers is huge, wheels could come off here if D doesn’t step up.

 

[CatManTrue]

Two facemasks on JJ weren’t called on the same play with an official right there. Ridiculous.

Couldn’t hurt to give Alviti a drive as a change of pace and see what he could do. Thorson has the yips out there.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

So we have abandoned the run game. Thorson just not making the throws he should be making. All day back there.

Exactly, it's like we are force feeding throws so thorson gets his confidence back. Feed the backs, win the game

 

[Fitz51]

Please, just hand the ball to our RBs on 2/3 of the plays until Nebraska adjusts, and then play action pass. Enough of this confidence-rebuilding attempt at playcalling.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

The pass was there. Thorson just blew it.

The run has been there all day without the risk of a bad pass
