Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Football set to welcome No. 5 Michigan to town

[mildone]

From the start
She knew she had it made
Easy up 'til then
For sure she'd make the grade

Adorers came in hordes
To lay down in her way
She gave it all she had
And treasures slowly faded

Now, she's falling hard
She feels the fall of dark
How did this fall apart?
She drinks to fill the dark

A smile as sweet as flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired

She thinks when she was small
There on her father's knee
How he had promised her:
"You'll always be my baby"

Daddy, come quick
The dreaming tree has died
I can't find my way home
There is no place to hide
The dreaming tree has died

 

[RW90]

We had one nice run. Then we went away from it. We didn’t even try. I think this is on Nunzio.

Not enough pieces with Sam Brown out and no one else stepping up.

 

[Plum Street]

Wood meet shed

 

[DavidJM]

3 interceptions in 3 drives is not acceptable.

 

[gmay8]

Only Rutgers can make things go from exciting and interesting to a disaster so quickly. It’s one thing to lose a respectable game where people check the scores the next day and say ok maybe Rutgers belongs….
but Minnesota last week and now Michigan this week it turns into an absolute embarrassment. It’s f&cking exhausting.

 

[redking]

Wimsatt going to challenge for Nova's record?

 

[TommyGunn]

We need a P5 offense ASAP.

Or at least a patriot league one.

 

[SBP]

Not enough pieces with Sam Brown out and no one else stepping up.

One back does not a team make. Of course he’s going to be great. But… Monangai is a capable back.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

3 interceptions in 3 drives is not acceptable.

One of them was on AC. The tip wasn’t his fault. But when you can’t run at all you put your QB in a rough spot.

 

[RUTrack94]

Sadly, Rutgers started to Rutgers and Michigan is going into 78-0 beast mode.

A few positives … RU played to their potential for the first half … RU was what making at the half. First half time lead vs Top 5 since 2002. Wimsatt getting some experience. Get through the game with no major injuries. Get another score and get ready for the MSU thugs next week.

 

[RUScrew85]

Let Wimsatt keep chucking. Best thing to come out of this game is his experience.

 

[Plum Street]

There is someone here that kept saying Monangai better than Berger

 

[RUTRINI]

I love my school regardless. These young men showed some fight tonight. Not good enough to win against elite teams yet.

 

[RW90]

Oh I agree. It's beyond puzzling why they abandoned the ground game.

 

[RW90]

Let Wimsatt keep chucking. Best thing to come out of this game is his experience.

But to the guys in red.

Umm….yeah this is semipro sports

 

[kupuna133]

Security absolutely sucks in this stadium. Belligerently drunk Michigan fans in our section picking fights with everyone. No security in sight. Finally someone went 3 sections over to get someone 2 North Brunswick cops come over and allow them to stay because “ he didn’t witness anything” and the Michigan fans said someone called them a name. So they were justified.

 

[nikoru09]

after the holding penalty on tyler, i said to myself, game over
i just knew the mo would change, and here we are

 

[RUTrack94]

3-out, INT, INT, INT, 3-out

 

[DavidJM]

How long to wait for Wimsatt? Is accuracy teachable?

 

[RUScrew85]

But to the guys in red.

Well, yeah.

 

[Mr Magoo]

oh well now it’s gonna be hard

Wimsatt going to challenge for Nova's record?

He should be relaxed then because we know from experience that Schiano won’t take him out even after 6 INTs….and that’s when we had Dodd who was better than all of our other current QBs

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

One back does not a team make. Of course he’s going to be great. But… Monangai is a capable back.

Capable, yes. We had a senior back on the team last year who is now an NFL star. Rutgers run game wasn’t good because the OL wasn’t good. Sam Brown is just a really good after contact back.

Just get up and move. The conflict isn't worth it.

 

[shields]

Kyle is not good enough.

 

[Plum Street]

You wonder when this crap ends and if we really belong in this league. Why because we being cable boxes ? Keep fighting the good fight I guess . Better days ahead. At least I hope.

 

[Plum Street]

Wasn’t Reggie bush’s heisman vacated ?

 

[NickRU714]

Please don’t return till clock hits zero

I swear I didn't actually put on the game until just now for that long UM run.

 

[LotusAggressor]

This offensive line is playing like garbage

They haven't come close to blocking anybody in the 2nd half.

 

[RUTrack94]

I love my school regardless. These young men showed some fight tonight. Not good enough to win against elite teams yet.

Hopefully they get a ranked win in the next 5,123 days. But seriously, great first half performance. After some close games (20-13, 48-42) really thought it wouldn’t turn into a blow out:

Sorry this kid can Chuck all he wants he will never be a D1 QB
If Schiano bets his future and the future of Rutgers Football on this kid he and we will loose. These are reps that will lead to nothing nada zero!
PORTAL!!!!

 

[kupuna133]

Just get up and move. The conflict isn't worth it.

Yea luckily they were 3-4 rows back and I was as not in direct line of fire. But season ticket holders should not have to go through that in their own stadium. Been to many stadiums and visiting teams are not given the benefit of the doubt. Especially obviously drunk fans.

 

[RUTrack94]

Here it comes … first red zone stop of the year! Well, at least it wasn’t a TD.

 

[socaldave]

No

He gets a free pass this season, but next season after the same mistakes he sits.

 

[mikemarc1]

No

we need an actual QB coach. Badly

Might as well just become a triple-option or wishbone team.

 

[LotusAggressor]

Accuracy is teachable. The question is whether or not RU has an OC that can teach it.

 

[Ash_Hole]

Ash would not have had us leading a playoff team at half. Schiano’s making progress.

We all wish it was faster, but today was objectively more of a step forward than a step backward

 

[trsmith03]

Hey at least half of the game is watchable.

we need an actual QB coach. Badly

We need a lot of things. But, we have cool lights!
