A 2 win team is beating us by 50
- Thread starter MS-RU
- Start date
Let's take a look at WHO is on those 2-win rosters:
2016 MSU (18th) RU (78th)
2015 MSU (22nd) RU (54th)
2014 MSU (22nd) RU (58th)
2013 RU (44th) MSU (47th)
...that's a huge talent discrepancy IMHO. Now...I would like to think we could score, lol, don't get me wrong!

Illinois with crummy talent and a first year coach beat MSU last week. Talent argument doesn't work.
No, the transitive property "doesn't work" in sports, sorry.
funny illinois recruiting also was terrible and illinois beat this team last week....
Again, the transitive property has no place in sports. A beating B doesn't have anything to do with B playing C.
so all the other teams in the same situation as us can do better, but we shouldn't expect to.... got it !!! no wonder rutgers sucks at sports, the fans accept it.
Stop what? Posting facts? Riddle me this:
Why was our 1st team D able to hold their 2nd team O to back-to-back 3-and-outs? If it were coaching it shouldn't have made any difference and their O should have cut right through us, again, as they have the entire game. Agree
you're accepting it now, no excuses ash sucks, can he change yes, but as of now he blows.
lol whatever dude...the talent disparity between us and MSU is stunning...if you can't see that I don't know what to tell you.
When the spread offense is not working I have to say I hate it. It takes a very special quarterback to make it work.
Haha! You use the transitive property of recruiting statistics as a basis of your argument and then refute a week to week matchup comparison between same foes. yeah... okay.
Uhm, no I didn't. I matching US vs THEM. That's not the transitive property. Duh.
Whoa -- easy there, Sparky. Not 50. Not 50 at all. Its 49. There is a 4 in front so it can't be 50. :)
...and everybody know that's much better marketing-wise! :cool2:
The sooner you accept who we are, the sooner you'll be able to have a more enjoyable Saturday.
Furman scored 13 and held MSU to 28. Why don't you post their recruiting rankings vs MSU?
The same goes for Northwestern and Illinois.
TIA.

according to ARMIN and CALI our talent level is similar to Furman
...and Indiana...and Maryland...
A lot of teams compete with the big boys with RU's talent level or worse, but that doesn't fit the narrative that it's 100% talent and no fault of the coaches.
In that case, the biggest difference is coaching. Maybe we should look into hiring the Furman staff.
Maybe we should avoid the agony and not schedule any home games until 2019. It couldn't be much worse.
MSU lost to Maryland and Illinois. Both first year coaches.
coaching may have something to do with it
I too am tired of the talent argument.
How can we beat anybody when the game plan calls for first downs ?
We should hire a first down coach !
We should hire a first down coach !
Wrong my friend. These same teams played to 7 point difference last year.
Do you really believe our talent level has dropped that much from last season that we lose by 49 points to this same team that was 0-7 in Conference ? Coaching is a major problem in many areas right now.
They played like shit against us last year. Left 21 or more points on the field. There is a HUGE talent gap between the 2 teams if you can't see it, well, I don't know what to tell you buddy. Again, there ARE some coaching issues, not denying it, but I wouldn't expect wholesale changes after just one season (as some are...).
