Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers vs. Temple

[Mr_Sinister]

If we lose this game, please send Gleeson packing.
I'll donate to the buyout

 

[Rokodesh]

Simon must be scared to ****ing death to throw the ball.

 

[kupuna133]

It’s not on Simon. It’s on the preposterous play calling. Gleeson running into the field to tell the TE to get on the line and waiting until 10 seconds to get that play in is what lead to its failure.

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

The read option only works if the QB is a threat to keep the ball every so often. Note to our OC.

And our guy as you know is zero threat. So it’s so silly.

 

[zappaa]

Give Brown the damn ball and get your hands off it Evan

 

[drewbagel423]

Maybe one day we'll hire a competent coaching staff.

 

[zebnatto]

the old wing T with him at QB probably would be better than what Gavin and Evan can do in this offense

We would have taken over the game. What is Simon doing that’s plus?

 

[njrexguy]

Simon and GW not looking P5.
Wow. Just wow.

 

[RU Mike73]

Where are all the guys who thought only being favored by 17 was disrespectful?

 

[Rokodesh]

I think the two backs taking the same blitzer, allowing one other linebacker to make the play, screwed that play up. Man this is some ugly football.

He had at least 10 seconds to throw it away

 

[RU848789]

Had a great drive going, then poof. Have to really step up on D now - a TO would be nice.

 

[TM94goRU]

Come on Defense, a 3 and out or quick turnover!

 

[mugrat86]

Time to poach Temple’s OC and Warner. Gleeson gets paid a million a year to be out coached by a guy making 200k. What a joke

 

[REDRICH65]

Can’t pass; can’t kick. God we suck today.

 

[BOCA93]

Beyond embarrassing. Clinging to a 2pt lead in a death match with Temple

 

[miketd1]

Melton, plz make a play. This is your redemption game.

 

[SirPerceval]

Lot of legal minds scanning TV contracts right - can we get out of this RU - Iowa thing?

 

[RUChoppin]

It’s not on Simon. It’s on the preposterous play calling. Gleeson running into the field to tell the TE to get on the line and waiting until 10 seconds to get that play in is what lead to its failure.

Still have to throw that away. Plays fail and get blown up all the time - but the QB has to know when to take the incomplete rather than the sack.

 

[colbert17]

This is depressing.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Win or lose, GS lost fans and Mo today.

No - win and all gets forgotten in a week or two. But that is very much in doubt right now. Temple scored easily last drive. And all they need now is a FG.

 

[superfan01]

Win or lose, GS lost fans and Mo today.

Mo is still a superfan.

@RU Cheese

 

[CuredbywinningRU]

The emperor has no clothes (and no QB)

 

[billhilf]

Is Wimsatt hurt? I’m sorry but there’s no way the offense is better with Simon. Schiano has done alot for this program, but continues to be putrid when it comes to qbs- ya know the most important position in football.

 

[MTOleBlue]

The play calling is absolutely awful. No excuse for the absolute predictability. Temple defense knows exactly what is going on at all times.

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

I just don’t get why we didn’t have johnny at qb and just run run run.

 

[RU Cheese]

It's a comedy of errors. I have no faith in this joke of an offense.

 

[Mr Magoo]

I dispute the “ less talented team” part. Who on Rutgers starts for Templ

If a Big Ten team has less talent in year 3 of a tenure than an AAC team in a coaches first year….

The Big Ten coach should be fired

if we have more talent, and are playing like this, coaching is to blame. If we still have less talent because of recruiting, coaching is to blame also. We haven’t made a ton of mental mistakes…this is all coaching.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Game feels like Illinois 2 years ago. We are doing everything we can to lose it.

 

[RUTrack94]

Dang … really bad look today:

 

[jonS]

I can't believe I signed up for ESPN+ to watch this crap

 

[RUJMM78]

If a Big Ten team has less talent in year 3 of a tenure than an AAC team in a coaches first year….

There are Rutgers players who transferred from Temple.

 

[rucoe89]

Given the state of our OL, it’ll be at least 2 more years before we are able to turn the corner.

 

[miketd1]

The worst is Temple is in 4 down territory the rest of the way.

 

[biazza38]

I just don’t get why we didn’t have johnny at qb and just run run run.

I’m with you. It worked against Purdue two years ago

 

[rurichdog]

Welp, the tape is out there for how to beat us. Fill the box with defenders, slant the DL, run blitz on 1st & 2nd down, defend the sidelines on 3rd down.

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

Can’t pass; can’t kick.

 

[Ru7580]

Of course not

Trying to be nice. Not sure he’s an FBS quarterback. I’m sure he’s a good kid, but he has zero game/situational recognition. And he certainly doesn’t have the athleticism to be a one-read and run guy…not sure why he’s been given as many opportunities as he’s had.

 

[zappaa]

I can't believe I signed up for ESPN+ to watch this crap

Because Simon is one of the best athletes in RU history

 

[Joey Bags]

TU gonna flex on us this drive.

 

[ddsmugs]

Gleeson bad evaluator of QB talent
