*** Official Northwestern Game Thread ***

Defense needs to not let Northwestern's run game get going.

DL starting to get pushed around....

So Wash and Oz are dinged up.  Still haven't heard their status.  Might see Mazour quite a bit today

Don’t think Oz is dinged.  They said he was slow getting up but didn’t see Oz thought he fumbled and was fighting off a wildcat for the ball

Feels like we are playing against Colorado again except with a lesser QB and without that beastly WR.

Northwestern needs to be able to run the ball to beat us. I like our chances if it’s Thorson or bust.

Not too shabby. Better tackling. Little better execution.

Worst front 7 in football

The more I watch, the more I realize what Frost has inherited.  

 

[Hayseed]

Our guys should consider forcing a turnover .... not a pastry

I think Oz is OK. He fumbled after he hit the ground, and he was just securing the ball. He was not slow getting up.

Cool story on that Larkin kid BTW.  Couldn't play anymore and Fitz helped the kid out and started his coaching career.  Always nice to hear things like that.

Williams finally got in for the back side tackle.  Need to hit more of those for TFL.

With all the love the davis twins get you think they could stop a team averaging under 3 yards a carry

Good.  I saw him grabbing his wrist as he got up.  So maybe my eyes are failing me

I agree

We still need Washington to win. Oz is not explosive enough to put fear into the D, and Oz will get tired with the pace of our O

We needed to take advantage of our possessions in offense. Now, NW seems to be systematically driving the ball. If they score, momentum swings.
