Cats vs. Ball State Game Thread

[katwest]

Stoops can’t be happy with the defense on that series. Our linebackers and DB’s didn’t even know where their man was.

Someone turn on Derek Mason microphone lol brother be mumbling through the whole telecast

Reminds me of Tubby....

I agree our kicking game was horrid last year. I honestly think Leary will be fine there is 2 things going for him today

1) It’s been a long time since he last played with that shoulder injury/ surgery.
2)New system and first game jitters.

I think Leary will be fine Coen is a good offensive coordinator and Leary was his pick so I trust him.

I really hope so!

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Didn't even get a hand on him!!

 

[Fox2monk]

Brown for 99!!

 

[TucsonCat]

I like the Ball St helmets. Number on one side and logo on the other. Not sure why.

Yeah, but that is a gay logo. Looks like it's figure skating

 

[rolaid]

Brad White start getting aggressive rushing 3 is suicidal
They just run in place

 

[TheKentuckyKid]

You love to see it.

 

[podgejeff_]

Yeah, but that is a gay logo.

At least their Cardinal doesn't have teeth.

 

[entropy13]

Not good, scored too quickly. 🤣

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Brown is a bad man, Special Teams Coach that kicks to him should be fired

 

[kywildcat41035]

Defense get your head out of your rear on this drive….

 

[bbncal02]

Let's hope for a better D series. Can't let up on the gas.

 

[megablue]

True freshman

9/10 passing

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

All credit to Brown but the return unit opened a massive hole. Another great play by the ST.

 

[bbncal02]

Yeah, kicker would be getting an earful from me on that one. Like, "That's why you can't kick to him."

It's coaching....

Talent is there..

 

[podgejeff_]

It's coaching....

You mean Brad White, widely considered one of the better coordinators in the SEC?

 

[bbncal02]

End of the 3rd.

Caits- 37
Cards- 14

This is about where we wanted to be.

 

[vhcat70]

We’d have spread covered if not for dam ref.

 

[pauled]

Special teams have been a nice surprise today! Other than TR not catching the punt its been a welcome improvement!

 

[bbncal02]

It's coaching....

Talent is there..

I've criticized White at times, but the defense has been pretty solid this game.

 

[cathouse]

Yes. Playing a drop 8 zone and rush 3 against a freshman QB is poor coaching....period.

 

[kywildcat41035]

True they go into prevent defense to damn much. Just play aggressively like you had been playing since Ball State scored their first TD.

 

[entropy13]

Brad White is a great D coordinator. Need to do better at getting after a true frosh QB. And yeah, part of that is scheme.

 

[bbncal02]

We’d have spread covered if not for dam ref.

Yeah, that's suspicious to say the least isn't it?

Refs aren't on the take though......nah.

 

[blue cincy]

Now let the D dominate the 4th quarter (our D that is). Hope for better D this drive.

 

[cathouse]

Went back to the prevent zone defense too early. See BS td.

 

[podgejeff_]

I just generally assume this is Stoops running out the clock to not embarrass a midwestern cupcake. His usual MO.

 

[bbncal02]

I'll agree to a point. Lots of handsy grabbing on that drive.

 

[jameslee32]

Refs probably missed a hold on the KO return but we'll take it!

Wouldn't surprise me. He and Cal love their stall ball.

 

[kyboy1998]

I did like the helmet. I can’t unsee that now haha!

 

[entropy13]

Picked apart again on 3rd and Long. 😡

 

[bbncal02]

Refs probably missed a hold on the KO return but we'll take it!

After all the ones they missed on the BS TD drive, they owed us.

 

[catsfanbgky]

Lol people bashing the defense. We are playing a very vanilla defense. Game is in hand and we are not going to try to show everything we got. Relax.

 

[CHAMPCAT11]

SIAP - Does anyone know the extent of Horsey’s injury ?

 

[wildcatglenn]

This freshman QB eating this D for lunch

 

[vhcat70]

Know they are passing, but weak rush.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

9/10 passing

Portal him.
