Game Thread: Duke vs. Northwestern

[TheC]

Exhale

 

[TheC]

They figured out our defense is tired.

They realized the middle of the field is wide open on the RPO

 

[CatManTrue]

it’s a windy night in Evanston! Ooooh baby

 

[zeek55]

Wow, missed FG.

 

[cattul]

O.k.

Elements of this game are at least slightly funny.

Embrace the suck.

Let’s finish this out.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

These first down penalties are disappointing.

 

[CatManTrue]

His chemistry with Kirtz is nice.

But… not sure why we did that route at all.

 

[zeek55]

These first down penalties are disappointing.

Yeah first down hold makes it really rough given how tough it's been to move the chains.

 

[Figrating]

Somebody send Coach Lujan some plays!

 

[Catslash]

Cats have one week to figure this out otherwise a streak starts anew

 

[zeek55]

Defense held Duke's offense to just 3 points on their past 10 drives.

No matter what happens here, defense has fought hard all night.

 

[TheC]

Need a turnover

 

[cattul]

Did the play by play guy just say, “This is the stuff you dream about on a Friday night?”

 

[TheC]

Why is Tom Brady doing so many really stupid commercials? He can’t possibly need the money.

This is a horrible game for anyone not from Northwestern or Duke

 

[CatManTrue]

Why is Tom Brady doing so many really stupid commercials? He can’t possibly need the money.

He supposedly lost a lot of money on FTX. The rumor goes Gisele and the other celebrities associated who invested were hit hard.

Or maybe he just misses the attention.

They can't start Wright for the B1G, they need to try Lausch, etc. Right now we won't even register a win in the B1G with this garbage. Never thought the honeymoon with Braun would end so quickly. He really has to come up with something fast.

 

[zeek55]

Oh man, appears to be reversed.

 

[TheC]

He’s down unfortunately

 

[TheC]

He’s down unfortunately

Well…. Now Im not sure

 

[zeek55]

Damn that's tough.

 

[TheC]

Well…. Now Im not sure

And I was right the first time

 

[zeek55]

Defense has been just so damn heroic to the very end with forcing yet another FG attempt.

 

[TheC]

Take a knee

 

[CatManTrue]

Olges almost fumbled that kickoff return.

#2 is making moves out there.

Our special teams are fun but I wonder how much is due to the wind today

 

[TheC]

We need a FG and a turnover

 

[SmellyCat]

Who signed up for more of this?

 

[TheC]

Porter should have had 30 carries today. What a stud!

 

[RevCat]

Is Porter hurt? Our offense really stinks tonight!

I'll take things we should have been doing all game for 100 Alex.

 

[TheC]

Well that was depressing

 

[zeek55]

Duke TD in one play... yeesh.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

My prediction of 20-13 win looked good, for 30
seconds.

 

[TheC]

Killing us in the middle of the field this half

 

[zeek55]

Okay this is getting ridiculous.

 

[BFDCat]

What happened to the D?

 

[TheC]

Duke is just the better team sadly. Better offense by far. Thanks Fitz

 

[ajr938]

What happened to the D?

They must be out of gas

 

[zeek55]

What happened to the D?

Defended like 15 Duke drives or so today.

 

[BFDCat]

Duke is just the better team sadly. Better offense by far. Thanks Fitz

And yet here we are in OT. We are short a QB, just like almost every year

 

[TheC]

Northwestern 2024 right there. Beat themselves
