Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers vs. Temple

[DavidJM]

We are in no position to make fun of Iowa offense. Next game might end 0-0.

 

[kt124]

temple cornerback was BEGGING for that hold the whole play

 

[RobotHunter]

These jackasses so quick to call a hold on our offense but not on them

 

[RutHut]

Not a hold.

 

[ballgame4u]

Can anyone confirm Wimsatt status?

i think gw is hurt. it looked like on his last carry some huge guy landed on him splash style and he was hurtin

 

[RU Husky]

If we win, the best thing about this game will be all the video to review and learn from.

I get the sarcasm. Nice touch.

 

[biazza38]

Seriously?!? A holding call

 

[tfio]

That’s some ticky tack call there. Better call that both ways on that from here on out

 

[rurichdog]

Screen to the short side still doesn't work

 

[FIJI'83]

Simon needlessly panicked on that play

 

[TonyLieske]

RU won the 3rd quarter 3-0!

 

[scarknight90]

We literally look like we don’t give a shit.

 

[RutHut]

AC needs to win there. GO FOR IT.

 

[mildone]

Take the FG. Duh.

 

[scarletnewyorker2006]

Gleeson took Temple and the points. I can’t explain this otherwise.

 

[TM94goRU]

Jumbo package, convert!

 

[tfio]

Just go for it. If you can’t get a yard on fvcking Temple you don’t deserve to win the game anyway

 

[mikemarc1]

FG. No reason to go for it

 

[MADHAT1]

just disapointing so far, but at least in the lead against a team that shouldn't have been such a challenge

 

[RU Cheese]

The playcalling is abominable. They're making no adjustments. And the line has been awful too - great clip of pulling gaurd whiffing few plays ago.

here comes 4th down run up the gut

 

[RU84]

Could the play calling be anymore predictable and vanilla.

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Simon can’t read a defense. This is a problem

 

[anvilofstars]

Whatever happens, that drives playcalling was much better than previous ones. Gave the qb a chance to do something.

 

[mildone]

Not a hold.

I agree, at least from the brief look they showed in replay. I mean, there was a little grab, but only for a millisecond.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

FG. No reason to go for it

Well there is. Our kicker is bad from this distance.

 

[RutHut]

Actually agree with FG.

 

[MURF87]

Gotta kick the FG.

 

[The RUT]

They never beat anyone of consequence and they never will if that's his game philosophy. It's why he didn't beat WVU in 11 tries. Do you think eking out every point will ever beat Penn State/Michigan State let alone OSU or UM? Name me a team that wins at a high level with that kind of game plan. Why would you adopt a game philosophy that dooms you to mediocrity?

No I think you just have severely unrealistic expectations.

How many tries did it take Harbaugh to beat OSU. With all the resources they have a Michigan?

 

[jonS]

Rutgers offense needs to show how much they want to win this game. Go for it on 4th.

 

[SirPerceval]

Run a toss to brown - a toss, don’t hold the ball in his belly for 4 sec

 

[GORU2014]

Gleeson is definitely coaching like he’s fine having the same job for life

 

[KnightInVA23]

Go for it, kicker is too errataic

 

[brgRC90]

OL is struggling with inside run blocking.

I'd imagine an o-line will always struggle if the defense knows what's coming.

 

[BeantownKnight]

Wait, a fan ran on to the field, ran 40 yds, and no one here made any comments about it? Not even a "Hey, we could use him on our team"?

 

[miketd1]

Vedral better start against Iowa or we are in serious trouble…

(Who would have thought we’d be begging for him back? Gleeson playing 4D chess…)

 

[BOCA93]

Has Ireland Brown had a good game? Seems a lot of run plays blown up up the middle.

Repeatedly running draws into run blitz’s isn’t helping. Simon also never switches up his cadence and they’re timing every snap

 

[mildone]

Could the play calling be anymore predictable and vanilla.

As someone else said, we’re staying vanilla so as not to show anything to Iowa. 😀









Not really.

 

[RUBoken]

Simon is horrible. He does not look off the initial read. RU wideout was wide open and does not even look his way

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

who the hell are these refs? Temple gets away with many holds but on a successful run for Simon we get a late holding call where the imaginary hold was downfield of where the play ended? They missed so many obvious calls but somehow see that away from the ball?

 

[FIJI'83]

This will be an interesting decision. Typically this would be a no brained go for it on 4th and 1. But the temptation to kick a field goal to get this to a two possession game may seal this shit show of a game. Yet, the kicker is unreliable. What to do?
