Game Thread : RUTGERS vs Wisconsin

[Piscataway]

That interception looked like the run away military blimp

I lol'd

 

[RU1993]

Can we fire the coach at half time

 

[Toddwills00]

Is our defensive strategy to leave the middle of the field wide open?

 

[ru75]

On a positive note, the secondary has improved

 

[Caliknight]

Everyone please take note of Stave's arm compared to Lavianos. Night day.

 

[JPhoboken]

Crazy bounces, predictable play calling, poor special teams and no pass rush.

They are good, but not that good, we are imploding.

 

[devoted2ru]

RU caught a break on that one. Should have been another Wisky TD.

 

[RobertG]

The coaches are not helping. Play calling has no variation. Putting a struggling laviano in poor position

 

[RUeric]

I was really hoping Hester was going to bring something to the secondary this year, but outside of that INT against MSU I have not been impressed.

 

[Abro1975]

Rettig's arm probably stronger. but oh well

Everyone please take note of Stave's arm compared to Lavianos. Night day.

 

[Toddwills00]

Why would anyone punt to us?

 

[Pritz99]

Can't believe they're not going for it.

 

[NewJerseyGuy]

So far that silent count is really paying dividends.

[RU848789]

We simply can't get pressure on the QB - anyone miss Hamilton?

 

[theRU]

best football played at RU involves a round ball

 

[RobotHunter]

Wow must be nice to have a good punter

 

[devoted2ru]

Punt downed at the 4. Classic.

 

[Pritz99]

Run that clock.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

This is been an absolute disaster so far. The one drive we had a chance to get into the end zone, before they figured out what we were going to do, we blew it, so I don't think we're going to see another score from us unless it's a big play, broken play, type of thing.

Lucky it's not 28-3 already.

Flood is bad for Rutgers... fanbase deserves better.

 

[RU848789]

I think it was 6 guys but I didn't have a problem with the call. It was being aggressive.

Also don't think there was much risk there going for it. We would have gotten the ball around the 30, that's not that bad field position wise. Weather is bad and not sure which direction the wind is blowing but they are going the opposite direction of the first qtr when they tried the other FG.

It was 7 - I replayed the down and counted. Not that it matters - should be able to get pressure with 6 and certainly with 7.

Funny I did the same and counted 6, lol but you're right either way should get pressure.

 

[koleszar]

The blitz packages are horrible. It looks like the front four don't work with the Blitzer's to hold up blockers. Horrible design is what I,m seeing

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Ok, we can't blame Flood, Rossi or Laviano because it's against the board's rules. So, who is to blame for the INT off the defender's head? Is it realistic to pass the ball only 25% of the time when you're trailing? I would like to know the answers without blaming anyone?

 

[Caliknight]

For those keeping track, Laviano has led the team to 6 points in the last 6 quarters. I'll give him the 3 Federico missed.

some will want to blame Schiano for where we are now

 

[Abro1975]

run run run

 

[Toddwills00]

2 yards and a cloud of dust

 

[ScarletNYC]

As petty as it is, my distaste for Kyle Flood is slowly boiling to hate.

its not because Wisky isn't all that sharp, that's why its so painful that we aren't showing a pulse today, its a winnable game

 

[rutgers4life11]

well of course laviano is in after that stupid interception into double coverage

 

[Abro1975]

Purdue is beating Nebraska, Nebraska is awful.. RU still has a chance of beating Nebraska, Maryland and Army for a bowl. It's real.

 

[RobotHunter]

run up the middle, run up the middle, incomplete pass, punt....wow how long didi it take to create this game plan??

 

[j10oreo]

we're here to learn, not win.

 

[RobertG]

I want to be an opposing dc its so easy to predict what ru is going to do on this series

 

[soundcrib]

Great throw

 

[AreYouNUTS]

On a positive note, the secondary has improved

Lolololol!!! Good one!

 

[Caliknight]

That sums up Laviano.

 

[Toddwills00]

Great bounce pass hog wait wrong sport.

That was going on before Flood became coach.
