Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Football vs. Michigan State

[Ridge 22]

Such an imaginative offense we run. Very effective and exciting to watch

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

Read option where the QB never keeps it

Is it really a read option if the QB doesn't have the option?

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Have taken Langan completely out of this offense. Never have any idea what Rutgers is thinking. Now for some reason we're featuring a guy who was out for most of the first 7 games. Young.

 

[koleszar]

Now they're just playing the run and we're obliging, Great calls Nunzio.

 

[BeantownKnight]

Anyone who's actually expecting any semblance of an offense (on our side) is crazy. That doesn't come until year 6 of the rebuild.

 

[NickRU714]

Is it really a read option if the QB doesn't have the option?

Exactly.
Not every handoff from the shotgun is a read option.

 

[Rokodesh]

Stop throwing bombs, Jesus. Need some middle of the field. Do we even have a TE? Konopka? Alaimo?

 

[robjknight]

Monangai had great first series, but no carries since. We have gone from QB rotation to RB rotation.

 

[zebnatto]

I’m trying to be fair but have seen nothing from Gavin. Looking for a read, a run, an extended play, a pass

 

[RU#1fan]

Again you can’t teach accuracy.
Gavin doesn’t have it. Not sure this will change next season.

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers defense getting man handled at the line of scrimmage allowing Michigan State big yardage right up the middle..Offense stifled because running game too predictable and passing attack is woeful.Score still 0-0 first quarter.

 

[rucoe89]

7th grade Pop Warner teams are more creative on offense than we are

 

[RUfromNJ]

Schianno won't let his QBs scramble. Never has. Only at Rutgers.

Schiano said this week that GW’s ankle is still not 100%

 

[ScarletDave]

Schiano has given up on the season for some reason, despite the opposite when firing Gleeson. Disappointing. Why bother watching with Vedral on the bench

 

[WasatRutgers]

I think I saw red last pants as well. I like those but our record isn’t so great wearing them. Nor is it for conference noon road games. Hoping for a B1G win today. My daughters boyfriend went to MSU so I need bragging rights.

You’re right. The record is bad in red pants, like 40% winning percentage or less.

 

[RUScrew85]

Other point on this game I do not think has been mentioned. MSU is horrible at Field Goals, and on their 2nd string long snapper who had a lot of issues the last couple of weeks with bad snaps.

So you're Saying take Rutgers?

 

[TonyVolt]

Gavin looks clueless.

Difference is OLs.
Ours sucks

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Sorry. This isn't even close to a P5 offense. Every play is so scripted . That isn't how the game is played.
I'll stop now. There's just no enjoying this.

 

[Rokodesh]

Two illegal subs

 

[TonyVolt]

12 players on the field back to back drives.

No Rutgers game is complete without stupid penalties, which also doesn’t help

 

[RUScrew85]

You’re right. The record is bad in red pants, like 40% winning percentage or less.

The record is like 40% when wearing any pants.

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

WTF with illegal subs

 

[NickRU714]

Going up tempo causes disruption for the defense.


Multiple penalties directly caused by MSU going fast.

 

[ClassOf02]

Thorne had like 4 different open options on that 3rd down play.

Two penalties against our D for bad substitutions. Terrible.

 

[RUfromNJ]

12 players on the field back to back drives.

Looks like we’re playing with 9

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

Is it really a read option if the QB doesn't have the option?

Nope

 

[WasatRutgers]

Have taken Langan completely out of this offense. Never have any idea what Rutgers is thinking. Now for some reason we're featuring a guy who was out for most of the first 7 games. Young.

And Langan had a 300 yard passing game when Nunzio was interim HC in 2019.

 

[RUScrew85]

Read option where the QB never keeps it

It's a fake read option. And it's a terrible play.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Schiano said this week that GW’s ankle is still not 100%

Looked damn fine rolling out.
90% ankle > 50% arm.

 

[cRURah]

nothing looking good for RU right now.

 

[Plum Street]

12 players on the field back to back drives.

It’s a good strategy to stop them when you go 12 vs 11. The genius of schiano

 

[zebnatto]

So effing wide open over middle.

 

[RU#1fan]

Why in every game we play the middle of the field is wide open ?????

 

[Rokodesh]

We would not beat Georgia or Tennesee right now

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

And Langan had a 300 yard passing game when Nunzio was interim HC in 2019.

Not even talking about that. He got 1 look for 1 yard last week. Instead we' have Gavin throwing heaves over everything on 3rd and 8.

 

[rutgersguy1]

We would not beat Georgia or Tennesee right now

🤣

 

[Rokodesh]

Pathetic coverage

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

We would not beat Georgia or Tennesee right now

Or George st. Or Tenn Tech.
