How was that not grounding

Edit they called it

It was--good edit

KingLando · 2026-11-14T20:56:13-0600

Okay--penalties are helping but that was a horrible attempted tackle

cntblvitsbutter · 2026-11-14T20:56:15-0600

Yeah, they don't have the talent to just rush 4.

m.knox · 2026-11-14T20:56:28-0600

3rd and 26.... will they convert? lol....

FK3JM · 2026-11-14T20:56:29-0600

Lynn is such a stupid ***.

Phils rug · 2026-11-14T20:56:32-0600

Getting zero pressure now

Getting blocked and, well, sometimes held.... Still got to fight off it.

What's ridiculous is that we had a 35 point lead and we've given up explosive pass play after explosive pass play featuring man coverage in a "cover zero" scheme with the Minny receivers by themselves at least 5 to 10 yards behind all defenders. That is ridiculous to be giving up these quick scoring drives when you're leading 35-0 midway through 3rd quarter.

Zero pressure on the rush just pours gas on that fire.

We're pretty good at giving up those loooong downs lol

I saw a MN OL hold in the first half by grabbing the DL’s facemask. Of course not called.

It genuinely sure seems that way.

D finally gets the stop

Tom McAndrew · 2026-11-14T21:02:12-0600

4th & 26, at the 50 for Minny, and they are going for it ...

Minny calls time out, as the play clock was about to expire ...

and ...

it's incomplete ... nearly an INT

PSU takes over on downs

33?

Player2BNamedL8r · 2026-11-14T21:02:27-0600

Flags saved us on that defensive stand too.

Player2BNamedL8r · 2026-11-14T21:03:07-0600

WTF Rocco!!!

bdgan · 2026-11-14T21:03:15-0600

Box in upper left corner says we have 100% chance to win but it's not over because Minny still has a 1% chance.

KingLando · 2026-11-14T21:03:23-0600

That was an insanely bad call to start the drive--why? pound the rock even without Hansen

Tom McAndrew · 2026-11-14T21:03:48-0600

geez, Becht gets sacked on 1st down, making it 2nd & 21. Becht seems shaken up a bit. The Minny defender that got the sack is down and needs assistance.

bdgan · 2026-11-14T21:03:49-0600

Get rid of the football

cntblvitsbutter · 2026-11-14T21:04:00-0600

Stupid, just stupid.

Nittering Nabob · 2026-11-14T21:04:02-0600

Really dirty tackle. It’s what Northwestern does.

Manske hand off time

We want to give Minny as much time as possible.

Yes, he should have thrown that into the stands but the play call was even worse

Poor depth. Inability to substitute with a competent backup.

CyphaPSU · 2026-11-14T21:04:34-0600

Well, looks like we will run the ball the rest of the game and play defense.

Nothing Special · 2026-11-14T21:04:46-0600

Hard to believe a quick slant wouldn't be open. Every pass play is taking a long time to develop.

Shifty15 · 2026-11-14T21:05:02-0600

Phenomenal play call there…now you get a QB with 10 plays in his college history.

He’s just going to hand off.

I'm ok with the call but Becht had plenty of time to get rid of the ball.

Those passes by Becht would be blocked.

YeOldeCup · 2026-11-14T21:05:56-0600

If we could just coach and play all four quarters...

KingLando · 2026-11-14T21:06:02-0600

We're up 21--yes, it would be nice to win 77-0 but the only objective is to win. We're going to win by 2 scores or more

JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws · 2026-11-14T21:06:24-0600

Why does Becht eat the sack there on 1st f'ing Down?!?! All he has to do is throw it away - he was way out of the pocket. He has eaten a sack like this over and over and over again this year (sometimes running OB with the ball instead of heaving it away) - just ridiculous and inexcusable given that he's played a gazillion games.

Phils rug · 2026-11-14T21:06:50-0600

Good grief

You're not wrong--we all know Rocco is going to try to make a play there. OC's have to put their players in the best situation for them to succeed--hate the play call

JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws · 2026-11-14T21:07:27-0600

Gave up an 11 yard loss on 1st down when all he had to do was chuck it away. Just ridiculous.
