Game Thread: Orange Bowl: Northern Illinois vs. Florida State

[colbysullivan]

Anyone else see def. pass interference there?

Yup

 

[Bazza]

That up the gut QB run, they just need to give it up!!

Roger that - the NIU QB needs to settle down a bit - I think he's a bit nervous.

Where was the flag on that 3rd down pass!?!

NIU's Martel Moore Wants Physical Match-up Against Florida State

Facing one of the most dominant defensive units in the nation, Northern Illinois Huskies wide receiver Martel Moore hopes that referees will allow physical play to go whistle-free...

I think the Huskies are getting what they asked for.

Big time holding on the FSU broken play. I guess NIU has to beat the refs too

Yeah but I think a law was broken on that one!

I'd like to think the runs to the middle lead to something else soon. We'll see.

Lot of game left to play.

When you see that fake punt you have to be optimistic of what the sled doggies are capable of.

We'll see...

I think part of the strategy is to wear out their defense and take time off the clock.

This is where those little stars in the recruiting world are plain to see.

 

[Tide1986]

NIU's defense seems slow...lots of Seminole skill players running free in space.

 

[Tide1986]

Wide right (sort of)...go figure.

 

[bamacon]

That was a bomb too. Just right.

Does anybody run the football any more? Seriously if FSU would line up in the I they would be ahead 28-3 right now. Is Les calling plays for FSU.......good lord

 

[Bazza]

Lynch needs to get some short passes under his belt - get a couple first downs.

 

[JIB]

FSU will pull away when they start running the ball. Kudos to NIU for hanging in there.

Agree; but NIU's defense needs some motivation to hang in there.

No kidding. Their line is blowing them up. Run the ball dummies.

Yep

 

[Tide1986]

Looks like a bad spot for NIU.
