Second Half Thread - NU v Purdue

[Deeringfish]

Need to pass on first down.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Nice Green to Nagel for the first down.

 

[BigNUFan51]

Offense is sleep walking through this half

 

[Deeringfish]

Offense is sleep walking through this half

They are switching QBs mid series. That is a mistake.

 

[Chuckster1973]

Need the offense to get going

 

[TheC]

This QB switching thing is dumb. It throws off all rhythm. Either Thorson is healthy enough to play or he's not.

 

[stpaulcat]

Good news--we have two QB's.

 

[Deeringfish]

This game felt so satisfying in the beginning of the first half. Gotta give Purdue Credit. The Cats have to dig deep now.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Thorson won’t run! Yank em and make Green run

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Need to keep the field long now after a decent punt to the 15.

Oh, c'mon. Break Thorson in slowly.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Brough runs but our qb won’t!

 

[BigNUFan51]

Game Changing penalty there

 

[BigNUFan51]

They are schooling us pretty good

 

[Deeringfish]

They are schooling us pretty good

And yet we are winning.

 

[Chuckster1973]

We definitely miss Lancaster up the middle

 

[bjm989]

Big 3 rd. Go cats.

 

[bjm989]

Good stop on Moore. Wish we’d knocked him back a little further.

 

[bjm989]

Nice D!!!!!!

 

[iubaseball]

And yet we are winning.

Why Fitz changed QB’ s like he did early, took all momentum away, and now your offense has been really struggling. And you guys have a very good Qb. Just do not understand the move.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

I and the stats must be watching a different game.

Your loss.

 

[Chuckster1973]

As Fitz would say need to flush the third quarter and play a strong fourth quarter

 

[Deeringfish]

Good stop on Moore. Wish we’d knocked him back a little further.

That was our freshman Newsome.

 

[catcrazy]

Nor do we. Put Thorson in and be done with it

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Our qb needs to run occasionally to keep em honest

 

[TheC]

4 carries for -1 yards for JJTBC. Not looking good. Wonder if he'll make the practice squad.

 

[AtlantaCat]

Your loss.

Really? How is that vaunted D you were touting?

 

[CommodoresAndCats]

We’re winning but it feels like we’re losing

 

[TheC]

Really? How is that vaunted D you were touting?

Purdue has a very talented offense and two QBs that play a different style. They are tough to defend.

 

[Deeringfish]

4 carries for -1 yards for JJTBC. Not looking good. Wonder if he'll make the practice squad.

I bet he is still hurt but trying to make the most of it.

 

[Hungry Jack]

PU has more speed than I thought

 

[Alan Smithee]

Trae Williams having kind of a tough game in the open field.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

OK will they take the 3 or try for the TD? My guess is they line up for a fake field goal.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

PU has more speed than I thought

If by that you mean “one fast guy,” then sure.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Really? How is that vaunted D you were touting?

Only 450+ yards in 3 quarters against the vaunted Purdue offense

 

[gocatsgo2003]

Really? How is that vaunted D you were touting?

Gave up a couple long plays. Otherwise been fine.

 

[TejasCat]

Got our asses kicked in that 3rd qtr

 

[phatcat]

Got our asses kicked in that 3rd qtr

Looks to me like Purdue wants it more

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Now we find out how good a 4th quarter team we are.

 

[Deeringfish]

Sworonek can't catch tonight
