Football GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Maryland

The better coached team will win today. Don’t want to hear about how bad of a coach Locksley is. Rutgers coaching staff got abused by Maryland’s staff.
When you have a better offensive line, a better defensive line and a better QB, you suck if you lose the game. Coaching can only do so much. Neither Nick Saban nor Dabo would have won with this team.
 
Finally get a pulse on offense and can't stop anything on D. Sounds about right.
Feels like Wimsatt time
 
Maryland has lost 5 of their last 6 games. Blown out in many

Yeah, and that stretch included:
#2 OSU
#5 UM
#12 MSU
#16 Iowa
Both 7-4 PSU & Minn

MD having a bad line and bad wrs doesn’t take away from Tagovailoa still being good — especially when playing that murderer’s row

That tells me we won’t see a bowl for at least 2 years or maybe 3 years, because two of those units are seriously bad and can’t expect much from what may be a RS Frosh QB and no WR playmakers.

LOL you are blind
our offensive scheme absolutely blows and the personnel choices are head scratching at times. We also looked very unprepared

coaching absolutely blows
 
It’s amazing people buy season tickets. Is it four years without a conference home win? maybe it’s time to shut down the football program and focus on sports where we can be competitive like women‘s soccer and field hockey.
you can go to the entire season for less than 15 bucks a ticket on stubhub, then move wherever you want in the stadium

Now why you would actually want to go to a conference game is a different story altogether

This being said, Rutgers may have been bowling if another QB was at The helm earlier in the year.
If you are in a rebuilding year the smart thing to do is go with the guy with more upside. Vedral wasn’t that person. Take the lumps with Simon or Snyder and at least have more of the field available to you to call plays. With Vedral, nothing more than 15 yards downfield was ever really a threat if you were a DC.

Honestly, with NIL money playing a bigger role going forward the football program will be tested on and off the field. Hard to say what the future holds. On the other hand, our other sports programs seem well positioned for continued success.
 
Once again, Schiano have no idea how to use a QB not named Teel. Simon is looking good out there vs Maryland. He should’ve been out there three four games ago instead of pounding everyone’s head with the insanity of playing Vedral no matter what.

And now it looks like Rutgers has no idea how to put together a goal line package instead of Landan up the middle almost every play.
Hard to argue . Simon probably completed some more throws if the rust was knocked offf

Yeah but If we are going to suck in football ….there is no reason to be in the BIG and get pounded
 
So as one old streak ends (It has been x amount of days since Michigan beat Ohio State), another one continues.

When you look at gate attendance ( not tickets sold, given away) season ticket sales are off.

Sure.

Dabo and Nick would have won today if they were our coach. How can I not see that? Today, I saw an OL getting manhandled and an offense that had to rely on trick plays to move the ball down the field. If Maryland had any sense of what was going to happen, our offense got stuffed.

On the defensive sides, stops would only come if our safeties would blitz. Once the running back got past one. There would be huge plays after huge plays.

Keep thinking that it's the coaching.

I’m sure Dabo and Nick would’ve switched QBs 3-4 games ago if not sooner and made their other adjustments from there.
