Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Football versus UCLA

[KingOfTheEast]

About 38 missed tackles already. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[RUeric]

With all the inexperience on D, press coverage would be very risky, I think we’re gonna see a lot of bend but don’t break soft D.

UCLA has already shown they are determined to get the ball out quick. We're just giving free yards by playing 8-10 yards off.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

c'mon D

 

[bac2therac]

Our defense sucks

 

[scarletpumpernickl]

We better score on every possession, cause I don't see the defense getting a single stop!

 

[Joey Bags]

Gonna give up 450 yards of offense today

[RUfromNJ]

UCLA doing whatever it wants

 

[ashokan]

Its fun to see UCLA in Piscataway
I like the new league

 

[mildone]

**** injuries..that's an e cuse for greg apologists

Uh-huh. Meanwhile, totally ignoring the impact of having all the defense’s leaders out injured, with several starters playing hurt, is a good way to identify closet Greg haters.

 

[bac2therac]

We have no clue at all what they are running

 

[Richie O]

 

[RUeric]

Game is flying by. Going to be over at 2:30 with this pace.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Gonna give up 450 yards of offense today

That’s being kind. It could be more along the lines of 600.

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

Gonna give up 450 yards of offense today

And that’ll just be in the first half…

New league same results

They'd have add to the playbook for that.

 

[ru-baby]

Powell goes out and middle of the field looks wide open

 

[ashokan]

Our defense sucks

They look pouty like a scolded puppy

 

[ClassOf02]

Gonna give up 450 yards of offense today

Sign me up for only 450 right now.

bac's a basketball first guy.. secretly wants football to fail because they suck up resources basketball could use.. only when football is doing well and he'd look like a fool for saying otherwise will he seem supportive.. he cannot help himself

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

UCLA has already shown they are determined to get the ball out quick. We're just giving free yards by playing 8-10 yards off.

We have no pass rush anyway.

 

[newell138]

D will need to score at least 2 TDs at this rate. UCLA QB is 11 for 13

 

[mdk01]

They're going after LBs, second level. Need adjustment.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Uh-huh. Meanwhile, totally ignoring the impact of having all the defense’s leaders out injured, with several starters playing hurt, is a good way to identify closet Greg haters.

Both are true. To excuse the lack of developed depth at this point is wrong. To dismiss the injuries as excuse making is also wrong.

There is no excuse for this. I get we have injuries but our D looks worse right now than Akron’s. By far.

Get the NIL ready for DLs

 

[rurichdog]

Quick outlet passes, with solid WR blocking. We should try that.

 

[shields]

Lewis and Bailey are not playing. Need to score 30 points.

 

[mildone]

UCLA has already shown they are determined to get the ball out quick. We're just giving free yards by playing 8-10 yards off.

Soon as we press, they will take advantage of it. Better to make them execute dozens of plays, giving us more opportunities to create a turnover, and giving them more opportunities to make mistakes, then to easily give up TDs in just a few plays.

If our O consistently shows they can score, then maybe the D will start being more aggressive.

 

[chase_NJ]

Defense cannot tackle.

 

[BeantownKnight]

This is the same team which had trouble pulling out a win against Hawaii?!

Lmfo..i call crap like i see it

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

That’s all Powell

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Thats why we need Powell out there.. he reads well

 

[LotusAggressor]

Our second downhill of the day comes from Greg Schiano.

 

[bac2therac]

Uh-huh. Meanwhile, totally ignoring the impact of having all the defense’s leaders out injured, with several starters playing hurt, is a good way to identify closet Greg haters.

Lol oooh injuries

The evergreen excuse

 

[LotusAggressor]

Pressure. Finally.

Some injuries is one thing. The amount, and the specific players we have out is a very valid excuse for struggling as the far less experienced players get up to speed.
