Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers vs. Temple
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
I am actually glad I was unable to watch this.
It's been a poor day for a lot of B1G teams thus far:
-Indiana needed OT to beat Western Kentucy.
-Purdue played sloppy and lost a very winnable game to Sewercuse.
-Northwestern lost to Southern Illinois
-Nebraska got its clocked cleaned by Oklahoma.

It eliminated any chance for Temple whatsoever. No kickoff run back for a TD. No recovered onside kick.
Gavin is 18. I'm willing to give him another year or two. But at this point I'd rather Langan than anyone else. What a mess
You are never going to beat another team this year if you cannot have some basic sort of a passing game. The big boys are going to line up. This o line isn't pushing anyone down the field starting next week unless you can get the ball over and behind them a bit.
This was supposed to be a run pass spread offense and what we have is non of it. You can be conservative throwing to backs and tight ends and short crosses. Year 1, 2, or 3 doesn't matter. That's simple football.
So then they get the ball down by 8 with 50 seconds left and no timeouts.
I understand the math. I just think it's a girly decision. Play to score. Score to win.
It’s very annoying that Syracuse is playing as well as they are.
There isn’t a more annoying fan base in these 50 states, but you have to give it to them.
In a weak ACC they might make some noise
Kicker misses XP and it's an 8 point game. I wanted him to score but he was smarter than me. dude gets it. He should run the team.
I hear you...maybe if there's more time on the clock where they could get the ball back with like a 1:30 ish left. I'd take it in there with a likely PAT to go up 2 scores---8 pt lead worst case scenario with around 15 seconds or so on the clock.
Taking a knee gives you 99.99% chance of winning. Scoring there and kicking off gives you a 98.98%. Take the knee and go home. Don’t allow for some crazy kick return then onside kick.
IMO there's very roughly a 1 in 10,000 chance of losing if Langan scores there and about a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of losing if Langan goes down like he did. Having said that, I wanted the TD, lol.
I guess you can say misery loves company. Driving home now and the whole car is wondering WTF was that? We’re collectively cringing at the possibilities for next Saturday night.
BC was ranked bottom 10 last week to in ESPN? I think.
gonna be a long rest of the season……..
They also dropped two INTs and had several killer penalties.
Other than Korsak I don't think any position group should be lauded this game. It was bad football today.
Need to hold our breath and hope they come out and execute better next week.
I was hoping Fran “I’m the greatest recruiter ever” Brown was a weak DB coach and the cause of our d-backfield woes but we still appear to be soft against any QB competence.
I don't think that's it. I think we instill such anxiety in our QBs about turning it over that mentally, they cannot just play.
I don’t think RU is as bad as they looked today. Nor as good as they looked last week. I don’t think we know where we’re at yet. The good news is the team will know how hard they need to work for next week’s win now. The super easy success last week might’ve caused them to be overconfident.
Iowa is gonna be another game where we’re probably gonna have to grind it out in the run game. But let’s see what happens.
I don't think anyone needs to tell him, it was smart that he end of the game right there
100% chance assuming we make the PAT. I understand the taking the knee decision though.
Don't be shocked in Noah makes a sudden improvement and is dressed.
Gavin learned his lesson, he threw it out of bounds. Let him play!
He was held under 60% completion and less than 7 YPA.
Defense has one pick and easily could've had 3 more.....the DBs weren't the issue.
