Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers vs. No. 2 Michigan

[RUinOhio]

You cant win with bad coaching decisions.

What was the bad decision? To not kick a FG?

 

[greenknight]

Drop was big.

That was a terrible throw????

 

[greenknight]

Cant beat STUPID

 

[RUJMM78]

Too many penalties that stop offensive drives.Rutgers simple lacks the talent to play successful football in front of a hostile crowd.Michigan isn't that impressive today but they always seem to make first downs which wear down Rutgers defense.

 

[zebnatto]

That was a terrible throw????

I think receiver got feet twisted up. Either way, yardage was there.

 

[mikebal9]

A fg wouldn't have made a difference..at some point yiu have to sustain a drive..gs was right going for it

What? You keep it a one score game. That's the right play.

 

[miketd1]

The turnover was a 10-14 point swing.

Our rush defense is OK. Our secondary is decent against the pass. Our issue is lack of pass rush.

 

[Shelby65]

Thru 3Q Shelby sees more from the QB than expected, nevermind the one pick. He ups his bowl probability to 35 %, regardless of final score.

Running game fail isn’t on him or KC.

 

[robjknight]

After being almost penalty free for 3 games, we are making up for it in this game. But Refs have missed some obvious calls on Michigan

 

[mikemarc1]

Brutal play call

 

[ClassOf02]

Mr Brightside is not cool, Michigan.

 

[bac2therac]

Oh look a packed at the stadium at the start of the 4th

 

[zebnatto]

End score may not be pretty, but we look much better than last year. UM is #2 in nation.

 

[RU#1fan]

FG was needed there. Opportunity to make it a one score game you need to take it.

This
Greg still can’t make the big calls.

 

[Ash_Hole]

Such a bummer that if Jai Patel’s 51 yard FG sneaks in (so close) … we almost definitely go for FG and we’d have 17-17 score

 

[Rufaninga]

FG was needed there. Opportunity to make it a one score game you need to take it.

Why did we throw it? Why did we not just go for the field goal? And even if we HAD to go for it, why did we GIVE IT TO THE ONE GUY WHO CANT THROW, AND HAVE HIM PASS IT TO THE DEFENSIVE END???

Can't win on the road as an underdog kicking field goals either.

UM is #2 for a reason, we need to score TDs.

I understand why they were going for it.

 

[BeantownKnight]

What a lame sing a long by the students.

 

[bac2therac]

Brutal play call

Please...at some point you have to drive down..that was their best shot..

 

[kupuna133]

Loyal is a liability in the passing game.

 

[Ash_Hole]

This
Greg still can’t make the big calls.

And yet, Rutgers fans have screamed for years that he’s too conservative 🙄

Going for it there wasn’t a terrible decision. The screen on Michigan was

 

[dmurph24]

Pass D is nonexistent

 

[bac2therac]

End score may not be pretty, but we look much better than last year. UM is #2 in nation.

Last year we led at halftime and lost 52-17 if it 38-7 by the end thats pretty close

 

[gef21]

Loyal is a liability in the passing game.

His safety help went for ball not body

 

[jerzeyguy]

Harbaugh making easy work of Greg. This game clears the spread easily. They'll put up 40+

 

[Plum Street]

Time to pack this thing up and get out of Ann Arbor alive

 

[kupuna133]

I understand why they were going for it.

I understand why you go for it but you don’t make that play call.

All momentum was working away from the line of scrimmage and the qb. Blind throw across the qbs body. Literally the worst call you can make in that situation.

 

[Rufaninga]

Agree penalties are drive killers, out offense behind the chains

Possibly, RU should get some credit for not having UM look dominant up till now.

But game is 60 minutes, so

 

[SBP]

Loyal is a liability in the passing game.

THE ENTIRE GAME! In every phase…He didn’t stay home on the 2 long McCarthy 4tb down runs. Not a good player… but it’s what we have so 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[bac2therac]

What? You keep it a one score game. That's the right play.

If you think we were stopping Michigan from scoring the rest of the game you were fooling yourself

 

[BeantownKnight]

The inconsistency by college refs across games is staggering.

 

[ClassOf02]

Oh well, had our chances to keep this close, but we’re just not there yet.

 

[gef21]

I understand why you go for it but you don’t make that play call.

If GW holds like he should it's a huge play. The LT was close. I loved the play call.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Do we have TEs on the roster?

 

[ClassOf02]

The inconsistency by college refs across games is staggering.

Just wait until basketball season!

 

[RUSK97]

Are you feeling alright?? Do you have a fever?

 

[RU#1fan]

The rout is on.
Repeat of last year.
We move on.

 

[kupuna133]

His safety help went for ball not body

Agreed and whiffed on that as well. Not specifically talking about that play more his body of work.

 

[rusig96]

A bad play call and worse calls by the refs, only so much before the effort is gonna let up. Beyond proud of our boys today. Take it out on the rest of the B1G.

 

[Rokodesh]

Is Schiano scared to return a kick off?

 

[miketd1]

The defense is worn down because we can’t sustain offense.

Game pretty much went as everyone thought it would: Rutgers will keep it annoying close until late in the third when Michigan can take advantage of their depth and a worn out defense.

Bright spot: We are definitely better than last year and actually feel good about winning 6.
