Second-half thread for Big Ten title game

[Figrating]

Running the ball there on 3rd & 3 is so McCall

 

[Chuckster1973]

Ball game. At least we made it interesting.

 

[BigNUFan51]

Good season boys

 

[TheC]

I love Fitz and the character of this team, but this is our ceiling if he doesn't do something about the offensive staff and philosophy.

 

[Deeringfish]

That third down call to Molten was the ball game. You can't lose yards in that situation.

 

[PlowKing2]

How on earth do we we run laterally on 3rd down there???

 

[BigNUFan51]

That was awful

Bowser up the middle would have been fine, but stretch run with moten to the short side?

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Time for D to get a turnover. Pick 6 preferably.

 

[nu greek]

Bowser is the go to guy there, not Moten. Straight ahead, not wide. Back to the D once again. Time is a big factor now. We need a three and out.

Running the ball is the right strategy.

A handoff deep in the backfield to the backup is the wrong tactic.

It needed to go to Bam Bam Bowser

 

[Katatonic]

No. Haskins ran around for like 10 secs. Not DB fault

Still, stick w/ the WR instead of anticipating Haskins running.

And that 3rd down play-call was total ugh....

 

[pymvpymv]

That was uncalled PI

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

McCall green lights a sweep on 3rd and 3? are you kidding? Ugh he has been pretty atrocious tonight. CT hasn't done himself any favors either... feel bad for the seniors they played their hearts out this year. Fun year all around though lets see what Hunter can do for us next year.

 

[TejasCat]

Urban gonna get the cover now

 

[PaHICat]

That or a turnover...

Seriously, it's 4 down territory and we just run laterally.

Play calling has been better this 2nd half, but it's just baffling to see something like that.

Bowser should've had 150 yards today. I have no idea why we haven't called his number 30+ times today.

 

[TejasCat]

We are down 14 why are we 10 yds off their wr

 

[Chuckster1973]

In the secondary is defense it looks like we've been playing without Haryage and Williams the whole second half and maybe even more of the game

 

[Hungry Jack]

If we are going to take the next step, gotta get better at pass protection.

 

[TheC]

Oh man... i thought for sure we were about to lose Gallagher for the first half of our bowl game.

 

[TejasCat]

The 3-man rush fails for at least the 10th time today

 

[NU Houston]

They're really picking on Mayo here in the second half. Long TD and long pass play. He doesn't have the speed to stay with their receivers. Why is he in the game? Is Hartage injured?

 

[TejasCat]

They are gonna try to get another td

 

[NUCat320]

That was a remarkable throw.

 

[AtlantaCat]

28 has been abused tonight.

 

[Noah121]

Our defense is out of gas.

 

[NU Houston]

Yes, Hartage hasn't played, and Mayo is getting burned repeatedly out there.

 

[NU Houston]

28 has been abused tonight.

Bergin? No.

 

[AtlantaCat]

Bergin? No.

20?

 

[TheC]

I'd still rather be an NU fan any day.

 

[BigNUFan51]

Mercy

 

[BigNUFan51]

52-24 wow

 

[NU Houston]

20?

Mayo, #10, is being abused. Newsome, #29, is doing ok other than the TD before the half.

 

[Chuckster1973]

Williams hasn't played either so we're without our top two corners

 

[DaCat]

10 is Mayo.
29 is Newsome.

 

[TheC]

52-24 wow

Jeez.... you're being an *** right down to the end.

 

[BigNUFan51]

Classy move by urb

 

[pymvpymv]

Not crazy about urban Meyer calling three straight blitzes with us down 21.

 

[Chuckster1973]

Well Haskins should win the Heisman and he might be the top quarterback taken in the draft
