NW @ WU game thread!

Re: NW @ WU game thread!

Washburns o-line has struggled, the WU wr's are fast and qb is pretty good. Connected on several big plays. NW pass D looks very suspect.

Sounds like some looks like tarzan plays like Janes on the oline. Well better team won.

NW abusing the WU QB this final drive. WU QB is going to make some teams pay this year.

I would include the DL as well b/c they gave up 24 unanswered, conditioning became an issue and threw up the white flag after getting smacked in the mouth by a soft OL.

Soft or SAWFT as Hooked on Turds would put it. NW D-Line adjusted well in the second half. Finally saw some fire from Rich Wright, as he gave Clayton and Osborne a couple Adam Dorrel tongue lashings.

The only thing that stings Hooked onTurds is that he constantly uses his Erectile Dysfunction cream as hemorrhoid cream.

Re: NW @ WU game thread!

RS Freshman QB Brandon Wright (Or Ellen as Hookem likes to call him.) has racked up some stats in the first two weeks.

181 rushing yards, 449 passing yards, 7 tds, 66.1% completion rate, 0 interceptions. He's averaging 315 yards and 3.5 TDs a game. I'll admit he's surpassed what I expected out of him this year.

I'm sure he'll have some bad games this season, but it's exciting to watch a guy like this, especially after last seasons QB woes

I am afraid for all the hits he took rushing, just one bad one is all it takes. (Exhibit A. Bolles at Central.)

Also, I liked Martin last year but he wasn't mobile. The O-line struggled last year a lot more than than this years line has struggled to date. Add in how mobile Wright has been and it has made a big difference.

RB has also made a difference. Caldwell and Strayhorn are clearly above the Walmart version of RB we had last year.

Re: NW @ WU game thread!

Caldwell and Strayhorn have the potential to be a dynamic duo at RB, add iN Wright (kid is fast!) we could see some fun and exciting plays from the running game.
Gotta clean up the dropped passes and HAVE to improve in the defensive backfield, WU had receivers wide open a lot last night and would have connected with more of them had their QB not missed the throws.

GO CATS!

Re: NW @ WU game thread!

Why do I feel like we will see less of Hookum from here on out?

WU Oline struggled with LU too (not like against NW), but they did enough. Letcher's returns made it easier for them for sure.

I thought NW did an amazing job of bottling him up on returns. That guy is going to do some damage this year.

I'm curious as to what changed with NW's attack that allowed them to end up with the rushing yards they did. It looked like WU came out in the 4-3 like they did against LU, but quickly switched to the 3-3 stack they ran against us in the second half of our game. Aside from the experience and talent factors, just wondering if anyone noticed anything difference with scheming. It could be the fact that they had that on film and did prepare for it.... also had almost all game to finally figure it out (they dropped it on us after half, with no prep with it whatsoever).

Very impressed with NW's coaching, adjustments, tenacity, and conditioning. It's amazing how championship DNA creates a culture where stuff like that is automatic.
