Game Thread: Northwestern vs. South Dakota State
- Thread starter mshelton33
- Start date
Hard to tell if our receivers are just not open, but the O-Line can’t be expected to hold off for that long. Need to check down to the running back quicker. Let’s hope for better play in the second half.
We are losing on both lines of scrimmage. Special teams look awful. Chiles is as advertised. Can make the unbelievable play but is wildly inconsistent when it comes to the basic plays. I am encouraged by the two check downs but he was late on both those throws. He is holding the ball too long because he does not see the field clearly. That was his biggest issue at MSU.
O line blocking pretty well but so many terrible false starts at bad times. Not impressed.
Also seem to be calling longer developing pass plays. I thought we’d be establishing the run more.
Let’s not even talk about the punting, the 18 yard punt basically cost us 3 points.
This is not what we wanted, a < 1 TD slugfest at halftime with no sense that our offense is clicking and able to wear them down.
And our D line is making me nervous, losing contain on Mason and letting their RB plow them over.
Need some good locker room pep talks.

It was Chip's call. He's gotta make it work. I'm puzzled, either they are REALLY effective at covering Wilde or Chiles can't find him. I guess I prefer a sack to Stone’s INTs tho
This doesn't bode well at all!!! Our talent level seems to be rather deficient to be playing on par with a sub B1G team
crowd looks ....? partially full....but noticed a lot of games that were not full including Indiana
Coaches must really like Wagner but they can't get him going in this game.
I would like to see a replay of that throw, couldn’t tell if it was on the mark or not. The Wagner connection is not working.
Punter needs to be pulled NOW. What in the world? This is basically a turnover.
When will Braun grow some stones and realize his buddy is a terrible special teams coach. Were awful last year and are awful tonight. Operations, coverage and kicking game is awful.
It doesn't feel like we still have the lead.
Chip has got to get this offense going, at least to keep the ball away from our punter. I feel bad for that kid.

Need to stop targeting Wagner. Whoever it’s on, they are not in sync. Did I miss something or is Eligon not playing?
Does he have a different technique? It looks slow and like he doesn’t really step forward.
