1ST HALF GAME THREAD!

[dinglefritz]

Keep the faith. NU has only given up 350 yards in the first half.
Looks like "Death Row" issued the pardon at 11:01 CST this morning.

This is a very Cosgrovian effort. UNI concerned me. Illinois added concern. Rutgers compounded it. Teams are exploiting our edgers and backers.

Is it scheme or is it dudes?

Gifford, Hill, and Robinson might be the most overhyped defenders in program history.

At the very least three of the most inconsistent.

 

[yort2000]

Has he ever made anyone miss after a catch? No lateral movement.

He's a TE. They need to be possession bailout receivers, not your explosive threat.

 

[Champ_Kind_whammy]

But him in the cutin thunb1

You might want to sit out the next few plays

 

[jonesy5960]

Raiola was not ready..he needed to RS like every other 5 star to learns

Nah. He's played fine. The rest of the team not so much.

 

[Sodakred]

Just an embarrassing 1st half. JFC- it's Indiana - not OSU, Oregon or PSU

I think I am years past being embarrassed. This is NU football every year for the past decade.

We used to make fun of Bo and staff for celebrating 9 wins. Now our ceiling is 5 or 6. Raiola is a talented freshman and Ruhle has the preacher personality, for whatever that is worth. But talent and coaching are bad. Might be good to stop watching games the rest of this year. November figures to be brutal once again.

What did TW and the defense do the last 2 weeks? IU probably averaging about 8 yds a carry, how can you be that unprepared to stop the run with 2 weeks to prepare.

 

[Bugeater]

Either this team fights their asses off in the second half and makes a game of it, or they fold like the first half and get shellacked.

Dudes

 

[schuele]

and somehow incapable of replacing the same terrible guys we've been trotting out there for years

I was so looking forward to the Frost era being over, thinking that NU would finally be done having 3-year starters as terrible as Fatt Farniok. But it really hasn’t gotten any better.

 

[weiddj]

I'm just going to say this over and over, I've had it.

Undefeated and crap the bed against Illinois meanwhile Indiana undefeated and comes out firing

This is BS the fans need to stop supporting until the University figures this sh it out

It’s why I took at wait and see this year. Hardly any player changes accept Freshman or Ceyair. The best OL player is not in every snap. That’s a failure on MR.

We're a step slow everywhere.

I say they get shellacked cause Cignetti is the type of coach who will really roll you when given the chance.

I have no confidence in our D. None. That 4th quarter and OT against Illinois was a foreshadowing of things to come.

 

[MargotDeeper]

He’s a 6 yr senior

From OHIO U, mind you. Not even mentioning he's Canadian born.

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

I have no confidence in our D. None. That 4th quarter and OT against Illinois was a foreshadowing of things to come.

Every offensive play by NU is like pulling teeth. Every offensive play by Indiana is a pending disaster for NU.

Just wait till next week.

 

[BleedRed78]

Should give HH a shot at this point... Might as well

Concur. I couldn't have said and asked it better.

 

[brnred]

Good Lord.

 

[rrdd2021]

Raiola was not ready..he needed to RS like every other 5 star to learns

It's not DR. He's solid and don't be surprised to see him transfer to OSU after the year. I believe he was originally committed to OSU before deciding on NU

 

[JohhnieSouth]

The team looks like they've quit.
