We competed exceptionally well. If we had won the KSU game no one would be upset. Loved Latham and Jeremiah today.

......and replaces him with Freshmen QB Cutter Boley.

42 fouls shots, enough said

9 point lead with multiple chances to stretch it to double digits and every time we failed.

How do you not call a timeout there no one had any idea what to do!!
21 seconds left down 3 do you go for a quick 2 and then foul instead Dylan dribbled for 14 seconds and then went for 2 when it was way too late that’s on Pike or how about when Dylan was trapped under the basket you call a timeout that’s coaching and his coaching was very poor

At the onset of preseason camp, this team was capable of going undefeated against the presented schedule. But No one could have predicted the catastrophic amount of injuries that we would have to endure. This was the worst amount observed since the Terry Shea era, and the team could very well have ended up 4-8.
But the team persevered, and we are currently 6-5, with a good chance at a win Saturday.
It’s important to note the losses we’ve had to absorb.

1. Mohamed Toure - Starting LB and possible Defensive MVP
2. Brian Felter - Starting Left Guard
3. Robert Needham - Starting Right Tackle
4. Tyreem Powell - Starting MLB; played much of the season well bellow 100%
5. Robert Longerbeam - Starting CB; played much of the season below 100%
6. Kenny Fletcher - Starting TE - led team in receptions before lost to injury
7. Victor Konopka - #2 Tight End
8. Logan Blake - Reserve Tight End- replaced Fletcher, but then lost
9. Wesley Bailey- Starting DE lost for season
10. Aaron Lewis - Starting DE - currently playing well below 100%
11. Sam Brown - 2nd String RB lost for season
12. Kyle Monangai- starting RB - playing well below 100%; missed Minnesota game
13. Ian Strong - missed a few games but back to 100%
14. Abram Wright - LB
15. Flip Dixon - playing less than 100%

The replacements went in, did their best, and continue to fight:

1. Jordan Walker - DE
2. Mike Higgins - TE
3. Antwan Raymond - RB
4. Jashon Benjamín- RB
5. Taj White - OT
6. Dontae Chin - OG
7. Ben Black - WR
8. Dariel Djabome - LB
9. Jordan Thompson - DE
10. Al Shadee Salas - CB
11. Terrance Salami - TE/OG
12. Timmy Hinspeter - LB
13. Bo Mascoe - CB
14. Kaj Sanders - S

Since the Minnesota Gsme, we made one big adjustment on defense, and that is to play three safeties, (Sanders, Dixon, Loyal) with Loyal playing more of a hybrid DB/LB type role.

The Offensive Line is back to peak performance, as it took time for new starters to acclimate.

Injuries cost us wins, because it took time for replacement players to achieve peak productivity thx to learning curves. Mistakes were made, but players grew from them, to rebound to beat Maryland and Minnesota, and today Rutgers is well positioned to beat any non playoff Big Ten Team.

Let’s Get Michigan State! Happy Thanksgiving!

Pike let’s them go for a street ball 2 while down 3

Think the mic should be passed back to @bac2therac , my streak was short lived.

Rutgers 35
MSU 21

Just wow. I had no Idea OSU spent 43 million in NIL this year.

Attendance at even marquis games appears to be 50% at best. Assuming the founders locked up contracts with Tru TV, TNT and Starbucks and I know they are looking to monetize documentaries to appear on Netflix or other platforms

How will the lackluster attendance affect things in the future. Any word on TV audience for these games. They certainly did a great job of pairings and most games have been entertaining and they are looking to expand next year. Just curious if this year will be considered a success

Beat Michigan State!!!

just arrived at the MGM. got great seats for all 3 games. Can’t wait.

MSUs secondary is decimated with injuries. Strong and Duff can have big games but believe they will have their normal one on one physical battles with the corners. Not necessarily an added advantage (or not a huge one) vs their secondary at full strength. They are not trying to “fool” or deceive the secondary.

It is Miller who can really exploit this and I believe he will be open quite a lot today. The interesting piece though is his hands have been questionable, I think there are 5-6 drive killing drops he has had the last few games.

With the weather in the 20s drops are more likely.

Really think if has good hands today we really have a good chance to win this game and additionally he will have a big game. Can see a 8+ catch and 100+ yard day IF his hands are good.

7 carries for 44 yards

RUTGERS 78 Texas A&M 74

If we don’t waste having a once in multiple generations player and make the tournament that disaster of a game will cost us a seed line.

Final score from the Western Slam in Alberta, Canada:

UC-Irvine 76
Kennesaw 59

60pts per game.
Putting the team on their back.
Both Top 5 players in the country.
Go 18-2 in the Big Ten.
Think Carmelo Anthony at Syracuse but we have 2 of him.

Why couldn't they have the best season ever as teammates?
It's at least possible.

LFG!

Looks like he should be hooping for a Top 25. Anyone know his story? Was he not in portal last year?
