2025 Game #4 Thread - Northern Illinois

[civildawg88]

Whitson didn’t play Safety…

You do know that rushing the passer helps the piss poor secondary though

 

[Baddog11]

Can we win a shoot out? I hate this referee

 

[57stratdawg]

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

It was a great throw. Dude is rolling full speed and dropped it into a bucket.

 

[Muttley]

smh

 

[Dawgg]

Embarassing.

 

[HotMop]

Maybe the heat will start to affect these Illinois players.

 

[Baddog11]

That guy tackled our guy in the end zone before the ball even got there. Blatant. Easy call. Textbook call. Identify the guy who did throw the flag and fire his asss

 

[Xenomorph]

We're in a game...

 

[57stratdawg]

Shapen just underthrows Thompson. They have clearly practiced that over the shoulder throw this off season.

 

[Baddog11]

They have no answer for the sweep

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

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

We are averaging 5.7 yards a rush so far

 

[Muttley]

Now let's play some defense.

 

[57stratdawg]

TD. Shapen to Triore.

That read probably needs to stay on the ground. Bet they won’t love that soft toss in film review.

 

[Baddog11]

Maybe the heat will start to affect these Illinois players.

Yes by the 4th quarter we may start seeing them cramp up. The backups will be terrible maybe. But it Looks like the heat will definitely have an impact on their head coach.

I hate that play call there. But it worked. Barely.

 

[Ranchdawg]

Now let's play some defense.

Got to stop their runs.

 

[msugrad2003]

Listening to the announcers for this game takes me back to the Jefferson pilot days when I was still in school at State..
Oh, the good ole days….

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

Is Kelly Jone’s playing CB today? Haven’t seen him.

 

[Muttley]

What are we doing

 

[Dawg1976]

Another great kick. Smh

 

[Baddog11]

Linebackers running downhill. Love it.

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

Never mind I see him

 

[Ranchdawg]

Who got hurt?

 

[Baddog11]

#3 just got rocked by a WR. I’m not sure how that happened because he was running downhill at him

 

[Ranchdawg]

#3 just got rocked by a WR. I’m not sure how that happened because he was running downhill at him

I think he was sandwiched.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Another great kick. Smh

Maybe we didn’t rub our balls enough

 

[Muttley]

Good series for the D

 

[Muttley]

Maybe we offer the NIU punter a raise

 

[Bologna Sandwich]

Everybody calm down. If you didn’t think they were gonna muck it up and challenge in the first half, you haven’t been paying attention. Definitely some terrible lookin stuff out there. Disappointed in the fanbase, but I am not there either.

 

[57stratdawg]

Mosley and Shapen can’t link up. Big miss, because it was there.

 

[57stratdawg]

Better punt

 

[Muttley]

Better punt

Different punter that time.

 

[Irondawg]

Blake has all day to throw half the time so either they are covering very well or he’s just not reading the field.

with some of the qb lanes we are seeing Ild like to see Taylor in for a couple of plays.

 

[Baddog11]

I’ll say it again, the officials suck.guess they are prepping us for the true bias next week

 

[Ranchdawg]

Looks to me like Lebby is trying to get our running game on track. NIU DL is doing a good job of plugging the middle.

 

[tired]

Shapen isnt sharp. Not setting his feet, throwing off his back foot, & looks uninterested

 

[patdog]

We’re definitely not seeing our WR run free past the secondary. And when they do get beat, they take the penalty.

 

[patdog]

I’ll say it again, the officials suck.

That’s the least of our problems today.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

NIU gonna burn the clock on this drive

 

[L4Dawg]

NIU has one of the worst offenses in the country.
