Rutgers vs Washington GAME THREAD

[mikefla]

wow..I like Laviano....but he cant run.....or pass at this point
sure,,there was an offsides on our part
but the "no TD" is on him
frustrating !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Alright.. many of us here think Ash should play another QB.. more than one maybe. But perhaps Ash needs time between games to reflect and analyze. Maybe he cannot pull the trigger during a game in hopes that Laviano might show us something.

We'll know if he is as stubborn as Flood in the coming weeks.

 

[rutgers4life11]

Washington has most of their second teamers in there... and we can't even see our backup QB

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

Nice FG

 

[RUTBAY]

First game as a head coach, taking over a dumpster fire, traveling cross country, playing a top 15 team. I won't be taking too much away from this game so far as indicators of the rest of the season. Unfortunately I expected this would be ugly and I wasn't wrong.

What I do find troublesome though is the kick/punt coverage.

 

[Rufaninga]

Head coach Chris Ash didn't think he should start...

probably rewarding guys for what they did since hire and not last year. as he gets his game tape, changes will b made. Change of culture, New offense, new defense, new special teams, same level of talent. similar results until our guys learn Offense completely, etc. thus is a rebuild process that will take time. wants different types of players from size/strength. need patience, which is not a strong suit for mist of us fans

They went fit the field goal because Laviano looked horrible on that series. His run sucked. His pass sucked.

What would one more attempt do? Nothing. Just cost us three points.

 

[mikefla]

OK.....our ball on the 35...lets get a TD
we've done well on the run
Hicks...Hicks...and more Hicks!!!

 

[anvilofstars]

This game is already lost, but we need a TD just to build some confidence.

 

[lighty]

Why do we look like we are not ready to play this game?
It just goes to show that you can take a coach from the best program is not going to do much if he does not have the talent. Not sure if Saban or Meyer would do any better with this team.
Flood is vindicated.

You have to be joking. Fliod is the opposite of vindicated. Everybody who said Flood would destroy the program with his recruits were vindicated.

The cupboard isn't just bare. There is no cupboard.

3.3 yards per completion. 3.3... I don't even know what to say anymore

 

[newell138]

CL myst have school record for most games without a TD as starting QB

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

If Ash is not going to get a look at a backup QB during a real game.. why not see if the FG kicker and team has its act together?

 

[RUfromNJ]

Laviano with the bomb to Goodwin

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

3.3 yards per completion. 3.3... I don't even know what to say anymore

The only thing to say is that all the criticism of our QB from prior years still applies.

 

[mdh2003]

you're not disappointed we've allowed two returns for touchdowns in the same game? i don't even know when the last time a rutgers team allowed that

Okruch should focus on tackling and assignments instead of that stupid arm swinging thing. Maybe we should drop football for synchronized swimming.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

hmm.. maybe we are seeing a 2nd QB after all.. GRANT!

 

[RUfromNJ]

Direct snap to JG goes for 6. Go figure.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Touchdown! Finally...

 

[mikefla]

TD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey....we at least GOT this one
wooo hooooo !!!!!!

 

[anvilofstars]

Okay good. This is what a typical RU drive should look. I see the vision, but now we need to execute.

 

[RUBand]

Current QB is not the answer. Unfortunately it doesn't appear we have any better. At least not anyone who has been on campus for more than 6 months.

Correct, O line has their hands full (3 Washington DL weight add up t 1,000), laviano is not a threat to run, a big part of our offense, Washington does not even pay attention to him. Outside of Grant, and the TE, are receivers getting open?

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Was Laviano on the field for that TD? Did he split wide?

 

[RUin2WIN]

All in favor of Grant as starting QB?

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Okay good. This is what a typical RU drive should look. I see the vision, but now we need to execute.

Baby steps... patience is key here, which I know is asking a whole lot from this board.

There will be a ton to clean up after this game, that's for sure.

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

TD

 

[rutgerspaintrain]

ok ok member since 2006, and decided to join the posting party today I see???? LOL welcome aboard!

Usually I just complain in a group text to my friends, but they were all wise enough to not watch this game :)

 

[Rufaninga]

hmm, didn't the chart recommend going for 2 there after tge TD?

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

13-48 in case anyone still cares

 

[rutgerspaintrain]

Why wouldn't they do an onside kick here?

 

[RUfromNJ]

UW puts in their backup

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

We need 10 points in 4 minutes to beat the spread

handing it off aint gonna help

 

[RUfromNJ]

Laviano is their ride or die

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

knee was down.. we had somoen other than grant in the wildcat.. he fumbled.. but knee was down.. hope they see that in review

 

[miketd1]
