Colder than I expected today. Wish I had a hat and gloves

 

[eddie_gocats]

Not a good start…

 

[JimStarr777]

Two sacks in a row because Sully held the ball. Not on the OL

 

[eddie_gocats]

6 still shell shocked from last week…

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

This is a sad performance

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Way too easy on first drive. No resistance at all by our defense. Maryland looks well-prepared.

Our offense looks horrible. No pass protection ends up with back-to-back sacks. Hard to watch.

 

[eddie_gocats]

At least D came to play…

 

[eddie_gocats]

About time.. TD

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Well that was fun

 

[Deeringfish]

What is with the short kick offs?

 

[eddie_gocats]

Back to misery mode…

 

[Deeringfish]

Maryland is too fast for us.

 

[BFDCat]

At least D came to play…

Really? They rolled over on two drives and got lucky on the fumble recovery. They look terrible.

Agree. D is bad

 

[Deeringfish]

Two sacks in a row because Sully held the ball. Not on the OL

He has to learn that once he steps up into the pocket he either as to throw it or keep running forward. There is no going back or sideways.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Ok… misery mode removed … TD!

 

[NUCat320]

Where did those throws come from??

Yahoooooooooooooo!

 

[BFDCat]

Wow, nice pass by Sully!

 

[Deeringfish]

Where did those throws come from??

Yahoooooooooooooo!

Both throws!

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

What's up with the shite kickoffs.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Both throws!

He had time

 

[Deeringfish]

They are playing chippy but ...

 

[jensberg]

Sullivan looks so much Better. Too bad we can't get the defense and the offense to play good on the same day

 

[NUCat320]

He had time

On the TD, I was wait-wait-waiting for him to take off. But he put a little pump in there and put it on the numbers.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Can't tell how much the wind is affecting the throws but Sully has been on target of medium throws

 

[Deeringfish]

What ever happened to Runnig backs seeing that everything is piled up in front of them so they bounce it outside?

 

[eddie_gocats]

Is Maryland our new rivalry game?

 

[NUCat320]

Is Maryland our new rivalry game?

Naaah, Locksley’s teams are undisciplined against everybody.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Sullivan is now a Partyvan! WOO!!!

 

[NUCat320]

That TD is a play that Bryant doesn’t make.

Mahomes-like!!

Wow go cats go cats go cats go!!!

 

[NUinIowafan]

Who is this team? Keep it up!

 

[BFDCat]

Wow, 21 points in 18 minutes. At this rate we'll score 70

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Quite a turnaround for our offense to score 3 td’s half way thru the 1st half. Last drive was impressive. Liked the call for the td on 3rd down. Go Cats!

 

[Deeringfish]

Well, Momentum in college football is a powerful thing. If the Defense can manage a nice stop here it could take a little zip out of Marylands game.

 

[Deeringfish]

Did Nu switch to a prevent?

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Wow MD woke up

 

[Deeringfish]

Wow MD woke up

All from that one play where Nu looked like thad a sack and then the Maryland recoverer came up with the ball even thought the DB got a hand on it. Razors edge between success and failure.

 

[MotownMedilldo]

What a goal line stand!

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

That was so fun. Like
