Football GAME THREAD: Rutgers Football vs. Northwestern

[mdk01]

That’s the tradeoff, true. But getting backups time is forward looking and program building. I’d work a lot of players in. But I’d keep GW in unless the score gets totally out of control. Wouldn’t let him run, though.

I'd define 31 as out of control.

 

[Dpgru]

D not letting up. Score again and put this thing to bed.

 

[thegock]

Don't see the upside of GW still on the fielld?

 

[Shelby65]

Y’all know I’m not a Schiano fan. Seriously question his judgment re: wearing a black shirt on a 95 degree day. Jesus, how much are we paying this guy again ?

 

[ClassOf02]

Not sure what happened to Langan right there.

Did Wes Bailey come back in, or was he ruled out?

 

[mildone]

I'd define 31 as out of control.

I think so, for sure 42.

 

[mikemarc1]

He needs reps vs big ten teams. Leave him in

 

[jkernpop]

Hopefully just a stinger on langan

 

[RUSK97]

BTW folks, last season QB Ben Bryant did this for Cincinnati:

2732 yards
21 tds
7 ints

Some context for RU D performance

Was he starting or backup?

There’s upside. Hopefully Langhan isn’t hurt but that was another short route to a TE. Gavin needs to get more comfortable with that short game. They are working it in.

 

[RutgersNo1]

Rest the starters, Greg.

 

[RU-Kidding]

Not sure which one but one new guy got lit up on a crossing route and the other is out injured.

Brantley was declared out on this morning's injury report. Sam Brown questionable and RB Young out.

 

[greenknight]

He didn’t say only rushing. How many all purpose yards does Kyle have?

69

He’s a real man. Temperature doesn’t mean anything to him.

Not like you Syracuse folks.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Looks like NW grabbed his helmet?

 

[greenknight]

69

He will be out of the game in next 3-4 minutes especially since Langon to helmet to elbow or shoulder

I agree if we were few games in. Our offense needs much reps as possible because they haven't established anything yet... Practice reps and real game reps is really different...

Defense, different story - as we have 7 starters that came back... lets get those 2nd and 3rd stringers in

 

[ClassOf02]

I think a NW player might have gotten his fingers inside the face mask.

Great way to hide sweat

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Yes I think they got away with one.

 

[greenknight]

Grrrrr take shots down the field. These play calls are going to absolutely nothing but get 9 in box against teams with 1/2 a heartbeat

 

[Ash_Hole]

Was he starting or backup?

Starter all year, but got injured and missed last game & bowl game

Dude went 9-2 as starting QB…

 

[RUSK97]

This is as big a compliment I’ve ever seen from you. Resorting to questioning GS’s wardrobe choice is pretty telling.

 

[mikemarc1]

Not too impressed with the offensive, though obviously not disappointed. Have a ways to go

 

[czxqa]

What a hit by Loyal

 

[ClassOf02]

Perfectly clean hit…nice job.

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Loyal hits like a truck

 

[mildone]

Great way to hide sweat

It’s slimming. He knows he needs to lose some weight if he expects to be able to pull an Urban Meyer at the local bars.

 

[RUDiddy777]

What a hit by Loyal

Glad the refs got this right. How the hell are safeties supposed to hit at all…

 

[pmvon]

Greg’s D hits hard!

 

[jkernpop]

Loyal just recreated the Florida championship sideline hit if anyone saw swamp kings. Lol my goodness what a hit

 

[Ash_Hole]

Announcers: 0 Rutgers penalties today. 🤩

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Need more points - have to stop with the conservative play calling.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Rutgers defense ™️

 

[RUDiddy777]

Time for a soul sucking 6-7 minute drive.

 

[njxchange]

i would say last drive for GW here.

 

[RUDiddy777]

Need more points - have to stop with the conservative play calling.

Maybe Greg could just mail the playbook to VTech

 

[robjknight]

To be seen. OL very lackluster right now...though pretty solid at pass protection

Don’t forget we are doing a lot of rotation because of the heat. That impacts some continuity

 

[greenknight]

Announcers: 0 Rutgers penalties today. 🤩

That's amazing in itself

 

[RUDiddy777]

Ash used to wear black during practices in the heat as well. It may be a way of showing solidarity by being as uncomfortable as the guys in pads.

Edit: Well…not exactly as uncomfortable.
