Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Purdue

[TheC]

Looked like he used the ground, but not completely sure

 

[rmndcat]

This 4th quarter is just ugly by the offense. Sloppy, sloppy.

 

[NURoseBowl]

Preckel looks cut from the Mike Alstott cloth. Am I the only one with that perception?

 

[Fanaticat98]

What the &&!!,!? is Lujan doing. We run it again and take more time or force a timeout and possibly kick FG. UN$?!?!beliavable we would throw the ball there.

 

[HawkCat]

This team has potential with a real offensive coordinator.

 

[TheC]

This defense has been special today!!!!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Brendan ****** Flakes! Give the kid the damn game ball.

 

[Fanaticat98]

Ok I’m going to go out on a limb and say they’re not going to score 3 times at this point and we will get the W. But if those stupid pass calls cost us the game Lujan should seriously be fired. Zero, zero, zero reason to throw a pass

 

[HawkCat]

Again, phenomenal defensive performance.

 

[cattul]

This is feeling like a Northwestern/Purdue game, for sure.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Bakery quarter!

 

[Fanaticat98]

D has been awesome!!!

Lujan’s lack of situational awareness is astounding.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Third red zone trip this quarter, maybe just finish this one off

 

[rmndcat]

The defense will not be denied their shutout no matter how hard Lujan tries to piss it away.

 

[TheC]

Run again and then kick a FG

 

[GECat2]

This team has potential with a real offensive coordinator.

And a QB with a stronger arm.

 

[TheC]

Uggh

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Annoying red zone performance in the fourth. This game could easily be a 30-0 type final. Really a fairly annoying red zone performance all day tbh.

 

[cattul]

This will make two consecutive big ten games the Cats won sort of ugly.

That‘s a very positive sign.

Disagree. PSU win was a thing of beauty

I'd say 3 BIG games in a row kinda' ugly

I mean, the second half hasn’t been the most pretty, but this has been an *** kicking up front on both sides of the ball and a defensive masterclass. This is plenty pretty enough for me.

Actually, the good thing today is that this is an ugly Preston Stone game and we are still going to win. That's a first this season.

 

[TheC]

This game might be costly though if Komo is seriously hurt and now Saka is limping off.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

We’re going into soft zone and we’re still getting key players with j juries and targeting? ******* ridiculous.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

No contact to the head I don’t think. Lucky. Let’s see.

 

[HawkCat]

If we don’t get the shutout today, that is on the offense.

 

[TheC]

HIt him in the shoulder. That's not targeting.

 

[TheC]

There's my sack!!!

 

[TheC]

Here's the play for the shutout!

 

[Fanaticat98]

So many questions. Why do we have all our D starters in at risk of injury (Saka) and getting almost kicked out of the first half next week for targeting (Adeyi).

 

[TheC]

Shutout... complete!!!!!

 

[HawkCat]

Defense: A
Offense: C+

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

I wonder why Purdue didn't try a FG there, just to try to avoid the goose egg.

Unwritten rules

 

[Rodenthater]

Wasn’t perfect on offense, disappointing to see the O stumble in the 4th!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Defense: A
Offense: C+

Offense between the 20s: like A-.
Red zone offense; like D-

 

[Jaguar 88]

We need a new OC and can we get a really good K for a change? We played well, which is great, but well, it was Purdue.

 

[eddie_gocats]

Take the W and fix it!
