These injuries to the secondary could doom us.

Great D - got some good and now some bad

illinidarrin · Nov 25, 2023

At the very least it looks like we will give up a FG before half. Just make sure it isnt a TD.

I'd love to see a Newton FG block returned for a TD in a couple plays

sacraig · Nov 25, 2023

Ha. Fans in the stadium didn't get the message that his knee was down.

Marshall_Lucky · Nov 25, 2023

That ref looked like he forgot where he was right as he started talking

TheChief4Life · Nov 25, 2023

Are we the worst two-minute defense in the ncaa?

aaeismacgychel · Nov 25, 2023

Ooof... Man...

And we're back to the sad part........

I take it all back…

This defensive series is junk

JJHUI79 · Nov 25, 2023

So deflating..

Da88 · Nov 25, 2023

Nothing like giving away the momentum.

Nah USC exists, though this drive is very USC-like

If you’ve got an inexperienced secondary, make sure to give the QB all day to throw. That usually works out well.

Retro62 · Nov 25, 2023

It’s absolutely amazing how porous we become in the final couple of minutes in halves

thehass · Nov 25, 2023

Is there a team worse than us in allowing a team to score in the last minute of a half?

TheChief4Life · Nov 25, 2023

Replay in the stadium looks like our guy landed right on top of the ball. Tv have better views?

LoveLovie · Nov 25, 2023

Dang we blew it again

eas23 · Nov 25, 2023

Why is the crowd booing if Northwestern recovered?

TentakilRex · Nov 25, 2023

Doesn't the original ball carrier has to recover the ball for it to be a TD?!?

sacraig · Nov 25, 2023

I don't know how Northwestern recovered that but there's really no way to prove they didn't, either.

We are down to 3rd sting DBs up to the D-line to get pressure on the QB

Shocking that we played it too soft on defense at the end of a half or game.

Bielema and Henry need to figure something out with this trend
