Football GAMEDAY THREAD -- Rutgers Football vs. No. 1 Ohio State

[drewbagel423]

What are these throws?

 

[NickRU714]

Can't clam up now.

Another pass thrown away

 

[RUGiddy777]

 

[RUAldo]

That was a TD of the RU guys down field simply made a block. Also, was that a horse-collar?

 

[Roy_Faulker]

If GW keeps overthrowing they gonna just have to run him.

 

[greenknight]

Should have done that on 1st down it would be 2nd & 5

 

[RU-Hunter]

Let’s get 7 here

 

[rutgersguy1]

Oh man, I love that call lol. Great call. Didn’t think we should go for it but what an awesome call.

That’s almost like the Texas play against KSU that went for a TD. Looks like a tush push coming but it’s a fake and goes for a big gain.

 

[greenknight]

Have to kick a FG

 

[rutgersguy1]

Have to take points, good call

 

[Extra Point]

I'll take the 3. Wish Monongi was a bit faster.

 

[NickRU714]

Pass to TE that at best was a 1 yard gain.
4 straight run plays
Great trick play.
Pass thrown away
2 QB runs
FG

Talk about getting bailed out by 1 play.
Terrible series without it.
Literally did nothing to attempt any sort of offense to score.

 

[brgRC90]

I think you need to go on 4th on that one. You may not get many more chances near the end zone.

 

[mikeylew1992]

Ahhh I think we go for it here, it’s OK if you don’t get points. Play to win!!

 

[RUTGERS95]

7-3, loved the call, that is what we need to see!

 

[bac2therac]

Incredible 4th down play but we played for fg

 

[drewbagel423]

I'll take the 3. Wish Monongi was a bit faster.

Or that receiver blocked anybody down field instead of watching the play go by.

 

[ClassOf02]

I'll take the 3. Wish Monongi was a bit faster.

We gotta talk about the blocking Monangai DIDN’T get downfield during that run. Should have been a TD if either of his guys with him blocked for him.

 

[RUTGERS95]

I think you need to go on 4th on that one. You may not get many more chances near the end zone.

I thought so too but it gives the team a lift and if the D can hold them here, should be possible momentum change

 

[mdk01]

3 And that drive gave the D a breather

 

[zebnatto]

three points was right call.

 

[NickRU714]

Have to take points, good call

How likely are we to be so close to a TD again?

Of course that would have required using all 4 downs to score and we seemed to have no interest in using even 1 play to score a TD.

 

[RU76COOK]

KYLE IS OUR SUPERHERO

CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

If not for lousy downfield blocking, that was a TD

 

[shields]

What a great call.

 

[chickenpatty2]

That was a TD of the RU guys down field simply made a block. Also, was that a horse-collar?

AbsoLUTEly would’ve been a TD with an actual block.

 

[Queztastic]

We good. Gavin going to hot something today.

 

[ashokan]

I'll take the 3. Wish Monongi was a bit faster.

He tripped and almost fell - did great keeping acceleration

 

[Extra Point]

The reconfigured defense is working good.

 

[greenknight]

Great route by Dremel, bad over throw by wimsatt...would have liked to see Dremel go after the ball a little harder, try to lay out..but that incompletion is on wimsatt and a big missed opportunity..

You cant go after a pass overthrown by 10 yes harder. It was a 1000% uncatchable ball. Maybe GW is a little more juiced than he normally is. Hes gotta slow it down a little bit

 

[Rufaninga]

Ok, not ideal - but take 3 - within 4.

So far, we don't look out manned.
Come on in Defense!

 

[mildone]

Incredible 4th down play but we played for fg

I disagree that we played for a FG. Wouldnt have tried a pass on first down if that were the case.

 

[rurichdog]

That was a TD of the RU guys down field simply made a block. Also, was that a horse-collar?

Yes and yes.
Terrible downfield awareness, and textbook horsecollar.

 

[RUAldo]

We gotta talk about the blocking Monangai DIDN’T get downfield during that run. Should have been a TD if either of his guys with him blocked for him.

The blockers were looking for guys to block that were standing right in front of them. That was easy 7.

 

[robjknight]

Should not have wasted the pass play and keep punching the ball.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Pass to TE that at best was a 1 yard gain.
4 straight run plays
Great trick play.
Pass thrown away
2 QB runs
FG

Talk about getting bailed out by 1 play.
Terrible series without it.
Literally did nothing to attempt any sort of offense to score.

Honestly I think that’s basically how we get points. It’s going to be an explosive or TO or sudden change. I don’t see us driving down the field against them.

I see it as make them drive down the field and hopefully they make a mistake or we stop them and we’ll need a 2-3 of these sudden change/big plays.

 

[zebnatto]

Big series here.

 

[NickRU714]

I thought so too but it gives the team a lift and if the D can hold them here, should be possible momentum change

Does it give them a lift with the staff saying "we don't trust you to score from the 10. We're wasting 3 plays then kicking a FG"?

 

[Joey Bags]

That was big to give D a blow

 

[Extra Point]

A turnover for RU would be nice

 

[bac2therac]

We gotta talk about the blocking Monangai DIDN’T get downfield during that run. Should have been a TD if either of his guys with him blocked for him.

Asdolutely..more experienced guy gives you a td there
