The Official Northwestern vs ][V][ichigan Game Thread

[b311j]

Sorry I missed the last couple of weeks. It was not out of apathey, but due to a personal matter.

Anywho, here we are. Hoping for a win today to get bowl eligible. On paper, we should get it. On paper, we should "a few things" this year. But we didn't.

Win, lose, or tie...Maize and Blue til I die.

][V][ Go Blue

GO BLUE!

Looks like as good of a start as could be expected.

 

[Michchamp]

HELLLOOOOOOOOO?

Anybody here?

I'm not watching (don't have FS1), but I checked gamecast. Looks like Warren responded with a nice drive to close out the half. 17-6

 

[rumseyhouse77]

I don't have FS1 either so I am listening on The Varsity Network. 17-6 at the half. 131 passing and 14 yards rushing. Can't help but think about The Game. Michigan has essentially no downfield threat. I expect they can win this game, but next week they are going to get embarrassed.

 

[rumseyhouse77]

I was disappointed in the IU - Ohio game. Not even close.

Team is winning 17-6 at half. I watched the drive before half on my phone walking the dog. I’m glad They flipped Underwood I think but I am not sure about Campbells offense.

 

[rumseyhouse77]

Zvada kicked a 56 yard field goal. He is a bright spot this season.

 

[rumseyhouse77]

Loveland did not return from the lockroom to start the 2nd half. Report is that he is out for the rest of the game. Jeez!

 

[Michchamp]

The playcalling is stupid.

You know Davis Warren is limited... but they're basically throwing way more than running, because... ? What happened to "Smash Smash Smash"? Did this go the same way as "Speed in Space"? Did RichRod have a catch phrase for his offense? I thought he did, but I can't remember now.

I watched most of the second quarter. IU was clearly overmatched, but held their own up to a point. Unfortunately, they made mistakes, on top of OSU just being flat out more talented. I assume the dam just broke in the second half.

 

[Michchamp]

well, there's the smash smash smash part, I guess. The coaching staff pulled their collective head out of their collective ass and did what I said...

Zone read?

 

[rumseyhouse77]

Michigan is dominating poor NW in the 2nd half. Especially on the ground, Michigan 118 yards to NW's 6.

 

[rumseyhouse77]

TOUCHDOWN THE DON! Is Michigan sending a message?

 

[rumseyhouse77]

Michigan took out the starting running backs. Marshall in now. Keeping the ball on the ground.

 

[rumseyhouse77]

Warren throws the ball into the ground twice in a row in the redzone. Ugh!

 

[Michchamp]

No one expected this Michigan team to blow anyone out like this...

Too little, too late, I'm afraid. I hope against hope, but don't know what to expect next week. I suppose that's why us plebians what the games.

Yep, hope against hope for next week. Well, they are bowl eligible so good for them. Thank God for Northwestern!

Did anyone hear any report on Loveland?
