Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Football versus UCLA

[rutgersguy1]

I wouldn’t have gone for 2 there, too early imo. But that seems to be a thing these days with coaches.

 

[Zimm80]

If we beat UCLA how will their fans react?

The same way any team reacts when they lose to a team & QB that is just not that good , it would be a long flight home.

 

[ClassOf02]

Good drive, but dumb to be chasing points this early. Bad coaching decision.

 

[AdventureHasAName]

I love Schiano, but sometimes he is remarkably stupid. There was absolutely no reason to go for a two-point conversion right then. None.

 

[BigGreenWood]

We can either fix the bees in the stands or fix the defense. No way we can have both

 

[kupuna133]

In game production once again a shit show. Counted 5 production errors already. Not good PSU guy.

 

[Rokodesh]

And then they go for two for no reason whatsoever

Trying to make a 3 pt game, I actually don't mind the call. 4 point differential does nothing.

 

[rusig96]

Decimated by injuries, not enough depth, guys playing hurt!

The correct answer is actually... coaching. Every team has injuries. Schiano is just a terrible coach.

But...that was our "best play"? Just kick the xp if that's what we're going to trot out.

Play was terrible lol. I just meant going for two in general.

Except, now when we score a touchdown, and should have a three point lead, we'll have a two point lead. Because there is a whole ****ing half of football to go.

Late in the 4th fine. First drive in the 3rd?

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Total BS. Our LBers other than Powell have been grossly out of position all year. We can’t tackle, we constantly take bad angles. That’s s coaching

We’re not a good defensive team without Powell and Bailey. We didn’t look good against Akron. It’s that simple. And now we’re missing more guys

 

[RUfromNJ]

Except, now when we score a touchdown, and should have a three point lead, we'll have a two point lead. Because there is a whole ****ing half of football to go.

Or we’ll go for 2 again

 

[FrankZ]

A sack!

 

[rutgersguy1]

I’m guessing if that happens they’ll go for 2 again.

 

[ClassOf02]

Well how about that.

 

[RUeric]

That's more like the Rutgers defense we want to see.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Click click boom

 

[FrankZ]

Or we’ll go for 2 again

Well now they’ll have to. Chasing lost points.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Good start to half with a 3 and out. Can’t assume the 2nd half will be just like the first so we’ll see how the scoring goes this half.

 

[Rokodesh]

Click click boom

 

[AdventureHasAName]

Or we’ll go for 2 again

... and not get it.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Drive is looking good again

 

[RUeric]

Awful last 3 play calls. And now going on 4th and 9. Kirk just gets too cute.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Drive is looking good again

Big 4th down conversion

 

[FrankZ]

Big time throw/catch.

 

[RUeric]

Great conversion. Not sure about the targeting. We've not had good luck this season with those.

 

[ashokan]

Brave catch

 

[FrankZ]

That’s targeting. Or get rid of the darn rule

 

[ashokan]

Greg is yelling at the baldino

 

[RUfromNJ]

Joe Susan

 

[RUeric]

3rd & 5 run when we're passing at will for once. I don't get it.

 

[FrankZ]

Awful 3 plays again

 

[Rokodesh]

Kirk you stupid ****

Throw a pass after the long catch

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I feared we'd revert to this old conservative playcalling crap... suspected we would.. this sucks

 

[RUeric]

I'm sniffing a fake FG attempt coming up. Hope I'm wrong though.

 

[kupuna133]

Kirk red zone play calling again. Can we be rid of this clown already.

 

[FrankZ]

I'm sniffing a fake FG attempt coming up. Hope I'm wrong though.

Oh geez. Won’t be shocked

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

3rd & 5 run when we're passing at will for once. I don't get it.

The only possible explanation is shortened field... but we have been going wide.. what about a fade to Strong or Duff?

That is, I don't buy that excuse. I think our OC has problems in the redzone. I think that's been proven.
