Game Thread: Northwestern @ No. 5 Indiana

[AdamOnFirst]

Get off the ******* field, come the **** on

 

[SDakaGordie]

One guarantee in life - if NU defense calls a timeout on third down, we will give up a first down.

 

[HawkCat]

Being down 2-0 after a remarkably sh*tty first quarter is a blessing. But we need to get the D off the field.

 

[eddie_gocats]

So close… doh

 

[Hungry Jack]

Whiff

 

[GECat2]

3rd down is our bane.

 

[loyolacat]

we have tried pressure on some of the 3rd and longs ....and have not been that successful

 

[loyolacat]

got some missed tackles today as well....can only get better

 

[AtlantaCat]

3rd down is our bane.

For YEARS...

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Make the damn tackle

 

[eddie_gocats]

Ngl… liked that

 

[AdamOnFirst]

RG3 can suck it, Flakes just ran into him, he didn’t lay some big boom.

 

[989bjm989]

RGIII is whining on the telecast about minor contact out of bounds and I’m missing Dave Eanet

 

[GECat2]

We need a drive to give the D a rest.

 

[GECat2]

RG III needs to be sedated.

 

[BFDCat]

Defense is hanging tougn, offense needs to pull their heads out.

 

[HawkCat]

A TD drive here would change everything and erase a first quarter of sins.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

I actually like Robert Griffin. He seems like a good guy. But he’s a brutal announcer. I typically don’t get down on announcers but man, he’s bad. The dramatization of everything is exhausting.

 

[989bjm989]

Glad to see at least one positive play on O. Got to get running game going. But might have to pass to run.

 

[MckenzieMilton10]

Idk why I can post here but damn rg3 is an annoying baby

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Wagner was lined up literally 15 yards deep and they didn’t comment on it…

 

[AdamOnFirst]

That could have been worse

 

[HawkCat]

Wagner was lined up literally 15 yards deep and they didn’t comment on it…

They missed it entirely the first time we did it. The announcers are obviously the B or C team.

Are you watching a different broadcast?

 

[eddie_gocats]

Indy’s D is tough…

 

[HawkCat]

Are you watching a different broadcast?

They completely missed it the first time we did it. We did it twice.

 

[loyolacat]

Walters is back

 

[HawkCat]

Tackling is really subpar tonight.

 

[JustGary]

I think the only problem is the amount of time the defense is on the field

 

[Deeringfish]

Just caught up to the delayed broadcast. Could be worse

 

[SDakaGordie]

Really getting tired of them saying Richard injury was caused by the late hit. Was caused by the tackle.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

We can’t even tackle their receivers after a hitch, much less cover them

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Ore literally can’t make a tackle

 

[GECat2]

Tighten up the coverage.

 

[HawkCat]

Really getting tired of them saying Richard injury was caused by the late hit. Was caused by the tackle.

100%. The late hit was glancing and after the injury had already occurred.

 

[Deeringfish]

too many missed tackles

 

[AdamOnFirst]

The fake was about to score a TD on that play before the ball whistled by the camera for an equally dominant TD

 

[989bjm989]

Okay we gotta score some points or we can’t hang in this game.

 

[Deeringfish]

No pressure on the qb

 

[GECat2]

I dint believe they ran the ball once on that drive.
