Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Football vs. Michigan State

[rucoe89]

Credit to Michigan St wide receivers - they make plays for their QBs. Its getting clearer tht DC Joe H. defenses are overmatched in the B1G.

 

[anvilofstars]

Game over.

 

[RUinPinehurst]

MSU QB is a playmaker.

 

[RUDead]

Maybe the defense is too rested after halftime?

They look asleep.

 

[SBP]

That missed blocked punt would have been a huge swing. That’s the type of momentum we need

 

[ClassOf02]

Defense is going to need to play a role too. Gave up almost 300 yards of offense to MSU in the first half.

Like I said….

 

[BeantownKnight]

I'm surprised that Tucker didn't just decide to run out the clock on that drive and instead played to win the game.

Terrible D. Just terrible

 

[RUforlife]

Still say keep running the ball, lots of time left.

 

[rucoe89]

If you’re a Rutgers fan you know the explanation.

We can’t be aggressive through the air with this offense when there’s enough time for MSU to turn a turnover into points.

it’s not normal football, but it’s the football we have to play.

This.

Another flag on Rutgers. Of course.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Do we lead the country in penalties on kickoffs?

 

[robjknight]

Penalties on almost kickoff return. So when we break one it comes back

 

[RUTrack94]

Later dudes … give you credit for those that stick it out.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Don't go for points at the end of half down 7-14 knowing you get the ball in the second half and now he's down 14. Seen that show over and over with Schiano as head coach.

 

[rucoe89]

Looking at Schiano on the sidesline, he looks defeated. Injuries, still lacking talent along the OL, position coaches that are not good, etc. Long offseason ahead for him and the program.

 

[RutgersSam]

Schiano is our savior! Come back everyone!

 

[Jumba72]

Here's the first call for #0. You have to throw at this point

 

[ruvsi]

9 penalties at this point in the season is inexcusable

Yeah and our recruiting this year has been below average, and that's being kind. The dude is slowly realizing he's in way over his head. Half our fanbase is simultaneously whistling past the graveyard.

 

[RutgersSam]

Where does Schiano actually bring us an edge? Serious question.

 

[mikemarc1]

Where does Schiano actually bring us an edge? Serious question.

Motivation? That’s really the only thing I can think of

 

[robjknight]

Of course we stop them and get roughing call

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Ticky tack at best.

 

[Jumba72]

Tough call

 

[HPNJRUfan]

A lot of these penalties (that roughing the passer call) are really soft...

 

[RUfromNJ]

Hold and a half on that run lol

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Pitiful tackling as well. Had him dead to rights in the back field

 

[robjknight]

2 holds on that run no call

 

[RUforlife]

Bad teams just don't get the calls. B1G refs are frontrunners, always have been.

 

[RUTrack94]

RU BB up 13-7 about ten minutes in

 

[RUfromNJ]

2 holds on that run no call

#58 all day

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

RU is getting toyed with today

 

[Jumba72]

Upstream...

 

[kupuna133]

If we are going to lose at least open it up a little bit. Not going to be able to attract players or fans playing this style of football.
Schiano has always been super conservative on the offensive side of the ball but this season is mind numbingly bad.

 

[rucoe89]

Schiano is our savior! Come back everyone!

NIL is going to make it difficult for anyone to succeed at Rutgers but for development players. We don't have enough boosters to have an upper tier program. Schiano sees that. So he is going the developmental route (see all the 5.5 players that he recruited). He will need to coach them up like Pikiell is doing in basketball. Do do that, he may need a different type of assistant coaching staff. This staff not showing they can develop players.

 

[yessir321]

Greeeeeeaaaaaaatttt. just what we need, another potential injury at RB

 

[robjknight]

Hey this by far is Gavin’s best game.

 

[NickRU714]

No more Langan snaps.
Ever.

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

Last throw by Wimsatt with a clean pocket was pretty good.

 

[Plum Street]

Wow that was good call by nunzio
