Same here. He was right on all points.

Did we not learn anything from our 2 scrimmages before last night? WTFark!

Too much stuff to rehash here from all the other threads (eg press) but was asking that question during the game last night…..looked like first time the team (includes coaches) were playing together - and it wasn’t.

Agreed, that’s what it looked like. It seems to be a byproduct of Pike playing so many different combinations of guys, that the players had a tough time getting into a groove, unlike Princeton that mostly played the same 5 guys for the whole game.

This is why I couched it as Rutgers being in preseason form while Princeton appeared to be in midseason form. Pike will find the right combo of guys which will (hopefully) soon include Mag, and we’ll start firing on all cylinders.

It's a little early to predict a LONG season. Overreaction to one game.
