Second-half thread for the Music City Bowl

[Catslash]

Amazing the yards that Jackson gets with what's going on in front of him

ISWYDT

I don’t know what all those letters together mean.

Tired of the Most Interesting Man in the World commercial. What happened to the old prick? He was better.

 

[phatcat]

OL terrible... Again. Leave Kushing in Nashville. It is time.

239 yards rushing so far...

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

So, how was that for a first half? This game is now more about who isn't playing than who is.

Let's see: Clayton Thorson, Bennett Skowronek and Paddy Fisher are out for NU, and Benny Snell Jr. and Stephen Johnson are out for Kentucky - though we don't know Johnson's status for the rest of the game yet.

After another horrible start, NU got on track and scored 17 unanswered points for a 17-7 halftime lead. Total yards are 234 to 165 in favor of NU and Justin Jackson has 17 carries for 86 yards and two touch0downs. We'll see if Matt Alviti can pilot this one home.

With Snell out, Kentucky has just 26 rushing yards and figures to rely on the passing game. Backup Drew Barker, who took over late in the second after Johnson's injury, was last year's starter until a back injury ended his season and cost him his job.

stop em!

Turk, I think you should audition for that role. You’d be perfect. Totally serious, those commercials would be entertaining as hell.

 

[AtlantaCat]

That throw to the tall receiver play works almost every time.

 

[NWFAN66]

Welcome to my ignore list. The game is bad enough without this crap.

I guess I’ll loose sleep over being on ur ignore list

 

[NWFAN66]

Not sure what happened to Alviti's throwing. He was pretty accurate and good in HS and highly ranked. But every time he tosses the ball, I close my eyes. Better to just run him like we did Thorson his freshman year. We need the defense to win this. Alviti is awful as a 5th year QB. WTH? Should have gotten him some playing time when we had opportunities. Maybe a tweak better than Oliver was but we need 2 more defensive stops. Calling Mr Graziano.

Yep. Really miss fisher right now

 

[TheC]

Come on Matt.... make one big play!

 

[Hungry Jack]

Here we go... carving up our secondary.

Please dispense with Armageddon attitude every time a bad little play happens. It’s not healthy.

The end is near Jack... better repent now!

 

[Figrating]

GO CATS!

 

[Hungry Jack]

Larkin is really fun

 

[NWFAN66]

Dude I know Justin is good but I think Larkin could be better

 

[mcdadenets50]

Why pass?!

 

[NWFAN66]

Wtf was that

 

[NWFAN66]

Stupid 1 st down call

 

[Hungry Jack]

Take the points pat

 

[TheC]

Go for it!

 

[mcdadenets50]

Pathetic. I quit. Insult to JJ.

 

[NWFAN66]

?......
I hope they get beat now. Just absolutely assinine

 

[TheC]

But don't do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jonny2TheP]

No problem going for it, but with that play call? We have gotten 2-3 yards on every single QB sneak tonight. Come on, Fitz.

 

[AtlantaCat]

Boneheaded. We deserve the end to this one.

 

[mcdadenets50]

That play call is an insult to JJ and the running game.

 

[Fitz51]

Loved going for it. Worst playcall ever. Was run up the gut seriously not a better idea?

 

[Jonny2TheP]

?......
I hope they get beat now. Just absolutely assinine

That’s some interesting logic.

 

[Catslash]

Let's go D

 

[BFDCat]

Dumbest call ever, jesus.

 

[TheC]

Loved going for it. Worst playcall ever. Was run up the gut seriously not a better idea?

If we had run every play that series, we'd have another TD right now. Why stop running when they clearly can't stop it and we clearly can't throw it??

 

[DarthCat]

Ok, now fire McCall.

 

[2388bb]

Again, I just love Mcall. He is singlehandidly choking and losing the game. Leave him behind with Kushing!!

 

[NWFAN66]

9 damn points left off the board. Missed fg and 2other fgs that they should have tried. Like I’ve said numerous times. Pat is a great motivator but x and os he terrible

 

[phatcat]

Just shoot me. Or Fitz. You decide

 

[Turk]

I think Fitz is justified in that call. No biggie.

 

[corbi296]

They got cute. A little long for a sneak and worried that defense would key on Jackson. A read option would have been my choice.

 

[Hungry Jack]

I think 1.5 yards was too long for the sneak. A jump pass might have been a play.

 

[mcdadenets50]

D, go win the game .

 

[freewillie07]

You don’t call that on fourth and goal. High risk, low reward. Trust your OL and most of all, trust JJ.
