***Northwestern Game Thread***

[Touchdown Tommie]

Well I think we all saw that coming. Where did Ozigbo and Wilbon disappear to?

Both looked good then disappeared. It doesn't make sense.

My issue with Newby is how easy he goes down...just does not run through tackles at all.

Im thinking if Riley wants to keep his job, he needs to NOT keep his craptastic coaches. Langs gone, Banker gone, Stewart gone, ST coach gone.

Only way Riley is getting fired this year is if he robs a mini mart at gun point.

Northwestern held Stanford to 85 yards rushing.

You guys don't understand that you have to attack weaknesses of defenses right? LOL why I even come here on gameday....i don't even know.

Thanks for that insight on the first game of the season.

Iowa's leading rusher went for 204.... Just saying. And 4 TDs

2* backup, iirc

 

[Norhusker]

What a circus! Started with Pellini and hasn't ended yet. Time will tell if we ever get through these stumbling and bumbling years.

I'd first get rid of Stewart. I think Banker's system works, really. The front 7 are causing havoc. Back 4 simply can't finish the plays.

I don't get why they don't qb-draw

Duke 158 yards

Ball st 180 yards

Mich. 200 yards.

Iowa. 300. Yards.

I can see why you stay away. You don't know football

Considering the fact that NW has the 67th ranked rush D allowing 154.6 yards on the ground per game we've kind of given up on attacking that even if it doesn't work, we seem to bail on the run game which is a huge mistake, IMO.

 

[InOmaha]

57 yards passing. We should be up more than last week if our O plays a game.

I already got video evidence of him doing just that. He also kicked puppies and kittens.

crap

 

[It'sNotAFakeID]

Whoever that was just gave that guy the middle of the field.

 

[The Maudfather]

f#*k

This is definitely one of Armstrong's worst games. Terrible throwing and terrible decision making.

With that said, I still give him a break because it's very obvious in this game, as it has been every game this season, that Armstrong is not being used correctly at all. He is NOT a passing QB, and everyone except the people calling the plays knows this! Nobody is going to perform well at anything if they're being demanded to perform using their weaknesses instead of their strengths. We got a demonstration of what Armstrong's strengths were with the option TD, and yet the staff still refuses to use him appropriately in spite of obviously knowing what he's good at.

These kinds of small but baffling decisions don't give me confidence that this staff will ever accomplish anything of substance even with better players.

This is going to be a long quarter

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Get a turnover defense, I have zero faith in our offense to score points.
