Just boarded the plane in JAX to EWR. My block R quarter zip has started 3 conversations so far. One OSU fan wished me luck in the terminal. She’s heading to the game. One of the flight attendants apparently went to Rutgers and said “go RU,” but admitted to never having been to the new stadium. The guy sitting next to me said “I hope you guys beat that team you’re playing today. I hate them.”

I think this is the most excited I’ve ever been for an RU game. Would be thrilled with a win but just hoping for a good game today (and looking forward to a great showing of Rutgers fans).

Ransom, the starting strong safety who is among their top tacklers, suffered a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter of last week’s win at Wisconsin, leading him to limp off the field and later be carted off to the locker room at Camp Randall Stadium. He was later seen on the sideline without assistance.

Lathan Ransom doesn't travel for Ohio State football's game at Rutgers

Ohio State safety Lathan Ransom did not travel with the Buckeyes to New Jersey for their game at Rutgers on Saturday.

I’ll be watching from my new home in Jacksonville. Couldn’t fly up for the game, but you may hear me shouting anyway, haha!

 

[BBpickles]

It’s a 19 point spread for a reason. If free tattoo U comes out flat. Watch out. This type of game is what GS lives for.

Damn, down 2 defensive starters...

[Tango Two]

Damn, down 2 defensive starters...

News: Rutgers starting DT Mayan Ahanotu is OUT against No. 1 Ohio State, per the availability report. The Scarlet Knights are down 2 defensive starters against the Buckeyes, with LB Tyreem Powell already declared out for the season.

The good news: Rene Konga is not on the report for the first time in a month, so the backup DL is back.

It will be a very late arriving crowd. Thats for sure

So... you sat next to Connor Stalions?

The stadium is already as full as it has looked at kick off in previous games lol

 

[bethlehemfan]

These Ohio people are so ugly.

 

[RUboston]

Let's Go!!!

 

[RUinPinehurst]

These Ohio people are so ugly.

Extra large, too?

 

[bac2therac]

26 minutes and about 100 students

There is that too haha. Definitely some Walmart types

 

[NickRU714]

CFB needs to get with the times and prioritize night games for top games.

Zero chance this game isn’t packed for a night game at kickoff.

 

[NickRU714]

Can’t blame only the students.
Sideline seatbacks look terrible too on TV.

Stadium half full at noon.

 

[Extra Point]

Rutgers wearing the white helmets might help them to get interceptions.

 

[APKnight]

Sound keeps cutting out on CBS. Anyone else?

 

[King of S]

Filled up now. Go RU!

 

[brgRC90]

Stadium definitely doesn't look full on TV or sound loud

 

[rutgersguy1]

Good job, 3 and out

Only streaming has production issues.
Cable is flawless and never had any problems.

 

[NickRU714]

Great play call. Not playing it safe to start.
Same as Michigan.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Good thought to go deep on them with some of their secondary out. Running is going to be hard too so help loosen them up maybe.

 

[RUTGERS95]

love the throw but that was pi, he was holding the jersey out of the break

 

[NickRU714]

So much for not playing it safe to start.

 

[drewbagel423]

I like the aggressive play to open the game. But then predictable on 2nd and 3rd down.

 

[RUChoppin]

Did that look like as bad of a missed PI call on TV as it did from across the field at the stadium?

I don’t have any issues streaming right now. Sound is fine.

YouTube TV did have issues last Sunday though for a bit. I don’t watch NFL but I saw it caused a stir for that.

 

[RUTGERS95]

did not like the call, should have thrown then that punt issue ugh
