Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Purdue

[AdamOnFirst]

It’s too bad. It was one of the nicest deep throws I’ve seen from Lausch.

He uncorks a great deep ball from time to time.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Man... If we were going to burn a timeout, I wish it had been before the first delay of game penalty.

 

[TheC]

A delay of game and a timeout burned on the same play. Such incompetence.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Clock management wow

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

We at least need a FG out of this drive. Those 5 yards from the delay of game would've been nice.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

They did us a favor declining the penalty.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Purdue should've accepted that penalty to try to push us out of FG range.

 

[Eurocat]

Play clock was at one second

Ok, thanks, got it now.

 

[TheC]

We are getting no pressure at all rushing 4

 

[TheC]

Who is 13? He isn't very good

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

But if you throw the guy to the ground, they'll call a penalty

 

[TheC]

That's a horrible non call by the refs

 

[NUCatswin]

only hope now is to run out the game and kick a field goal to win. pathetic

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Okay. Let's see if Lausch can go out there and lead a game-winning drive.

 

[jensberg]

This is starting to look quite tenuous. They've been moving the ball all day through the air and we are questionable whether we can move it or not. This would be a horrible loss.

 

[NUcats92]

defense is trash no pass rush whatsoever pathetic…

 

[TheC]

How many holding penalties??

Yet none on them

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Painful penalty

 

[TheC]

2 down territory? Or too big of a gamble?

 

[jensberg]

How many holding penalties??

Yet none on them

Agree I've seen them hold several of our pass rushers including number 91 twice very obvious right in front of the ref

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

2 down territory? Or too big of a gamble?

4th and less than 2 I think it's a no-brainer to go for it.

 

[TheC]

Another bad pass missing a WIDE OPEN receiver

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Development, though

 

[SDakaGordie]

Game over

 

[TheC]

You can't win in the BIG with such horribly inconsistent QB play

 

[jensberg]

Development, though

Based on what they've been doing those half I wouldn't be surprised to see Purdue March right down the field and kick a field goal to win the game

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Game over

The sack was pretty nice.

 

[SDakaGordie]

The sack was pretty nice.

Surprisingly nice - agreed.

 

[TheC]

No timeouts

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Player went out of bounds. Huge break for us.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Even without time outs that it was pretty good clock management

 

[TheC]

If you didn't waste your damn timeouts, we might have had something there

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Poor management of the timeouts. Brutal.
Game goes into OT, as I predicted!
Let’s get it done for the win! Go Cats!

 

[TheC]

Block that kick

 

[TheC]

Block that kick

Nevermind

 

[TheC]

What an idiotic penalty

 

[AtlantaCat]

STUPID, Johnson.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

That was a huge penalty.

 

[NUCatswin]

such a dumb dumb penalty

 

[TheC]

I take that back. That was a weak call. Johnson was heading to his bench
