2025 Game #4 Thread - Northern Illinois

[Baddog11]

Who are the tv announcers today? Are they struggling?

 

[patdog]

They screw you on the slides. His butt hit at the 45

It’s supposed to be where you start the slide. Even still, looked like both of those were about a yard short of where they should have been.

 

[patdog]

Nice drive. Time for defense to step up.

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

7 td drives of 75 yards or longer this season. I don't care who you are, that's impressive

 

[RocketDawg]

Shapen stopped a dead run out of bounds to throw a hit with his shoulder . Stop it.

He takes too many chances.

 

[Dawgpile]

First good play on D I've seen

And then the blitz off the corner working!!

 

[Muttley]

That's more like it

 

[dawgman42]

I would love to know the historical % of punts that we return where we are flagged.

 

[Muttley]

That was a crap call.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We are in love with the pass… NIU is giving us the run

 

[HotMop]

Delay of game, nice coaching.

 

[dawgman42]

Punting . . . good grief.

 

[Baddog11]

That might be the worse punt I’ve ever seen a miss state punter make. Geez

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

1A High School punting game

 

[civildawg88]

Our punter is terrible. Go hold tryouts or something on campus

 

[HotMop]

Sigh, shanked it.

 

[Dawg1976]

Booming punt. Hail State

 

[L4Dawg]

We are in love with the pass… NIU is giving us the run

They have stuffed the run almost every time we have tried.

 

[Muttley]

21 yard blast

 

[Baddog11]

We need a turnover right here

 

[Bneal]

Def not focused. To put it mildly.…
This Looks like one of those games

 

[HotMop]

Missed tackles...these boys are Charmin soft.

 

[Bneal]

21 yard blast

Have seen so many of those terrible kicks the last 4-6 years. Crazy

 

[Baddog11]

21 yard blast

And that was being generous.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Time to go to the intramural fields and find a punter **

 

[patdog]

We are in love with the pass… NIU is giving us the run

We’re passing a lot because we can’t run. Only effective runs we have are qb scrambles & an end around.

 

[PBRME]

Who was our punter under Croom that might nail a 60 yarder or shank it out of bounds 10-15 yards down field? McAdams?

 

[patdog]

Def not focused. To put it mildly.…
This Looks like one of those games

Yeah. This is pretty ugly so far.

 

[L4Dawg]

This is why I wasn’t excited about the UT game. It never fails when we look ahead. This is going to be fight.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Lebby is getting owned by this NIU corch

 

[Baddog11]

I knew the reality I dropped into this morning wasn’t good when I saw Oregon vs Oregon State on big 10 network. During the day. In September.

 

[civildawg88]

This team is going 4-8. They will lose 8 straight games. The whitson injury is going to end up killing us

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

What was #3 on defense looking for there?

 

[Baddog11]

Replay shows it wasn’t a TD. Foot out of bounds.

 

[patdog]

Yeah. This is pretty ugly so far.

And it just got uglier.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

This team is going 4-8. They will lose 8 straight games. The whitson injury is going to end up killing us

Whitson didn’t play Safety…

 

[Baddog11]

Northern Illinois almost succeeds with the onsides kick. Smart play by one guy. Special teams was unprepared for it

 

[57stratdawg]

Man stonka - WTF? You gotta try to get that ball. You’re 15 yards down field.

 

[Muttley]

Heads up play on the kick off
