Football GATOR BOWL THREAD: Rutgers versus Wake Forest

[RedTeam1994]

15 yards fine. Ejections should be reserved for intentional or reckless plays, not elbow contact when you try to jump over a guy.

im not convinced it wasn’t intentional

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

RU has 69 yds rushing today so the run game hasn't been there (maybe a reason they had Wimsatt throwing long) . RU's WR are small for red zone. That's a reason Vedral had an INT - small WR with no butt kick in him. He imitated lint

Not on the OL for a change. We have no running backs left.

 

[rucoe89]

Wish we had wideouts who attack the ball and hold onto it.

Tiquan Underwood needs to see the tape of the Wake Forest receivers to start teaching RU receives to go get the ball. That is one thing RU receivers are not good at doing.

3 plays and this game is different.
1. interception on the five
2. We drop an easy interception
3. Missed sack on the last drive.
3 plays that’s the ball game.

You don’t understand how fatigue effects athletes. Technique, vision, balance, strength and coordination all start to fall off. It’s not lack of effort.

This is a team that should be well rested. I don't want to hear about fatigue. The tackling wasnt this sloppy when they went through murderers row of UM, MsU and OSU

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Game was actually winnable but Rutgers botched stuff and kept shouting themselves in the foot

 

[mikeylew1992]

Did the injury look ugly?

Add a lucky bounce to recover that fumble for good measure.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

That's why Punters and Kickers shouldn't run down the field.

Melton attacks the ball.

The D was in position to make plays and stop their drives. Missed tackles are not the coaches fault. D on the field too long and with the layoff and little practice might have run out of gas. IMO we should have run the ball at them not try to run around them. I’m still proud of what they did today.

Vedral missing a wide open young for an easy TD

 

[RUboston]

Can’t make a stop on third down on D. We rarely get to the red zone on O, and when we do it is a chore to score a TD. Need some playmakers on both sides of the ball next year.

They never showed the replay.

Tackle happened, typical camera soup, then the cart was racing onto the field and they went to commercial.

 

[JRZEER]

This #9 can flat out play the game.

 

[redking]

That's why you keep him in on the LAST drive.

You’re high. The team didn’t practice football for weeks. No matter how much they lifted, that won’t help them stay in game shape the same as a team that practiced the whole time.

Guessing it was bad

 

[MadRU]

Ok Wimsatt that’s a playmaker play

 

[fg7321]

Wimsatt has wheels

 

[RUShea]

This might end up being the longest game in history. 3:10 and counting

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Agree

You're right. Let's bring Ash in to teach Rugby tackling.

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

Good play by Wimsatt future is bright if he can continue plays like that

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

That's what Gavin needed to do when the deep ball wasn't there earlier in the game.

 

[RULegion]

Wimsatt the future

 

[Ash_Hole]

Intermediate throw, or run
Intermediate throw, or run

Wimsatt all day

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Wimsatt has spent too much time watching Vedral.. bad habits.

 

[Danprusa_4]

Exactly he’s high no way our players are even close to being as in shape as wake forest players

so many reviews...

 

[rurichdog]

That's what Gavin needed to do when the deep ball wasn't there earlier in the game.

He still has a "slow internal clock" but he's making smarter decisions.

 

[dconifer]

damn, close

 

[redking]

LOL. Wimsatt with a frozen rope on that throw towards the Rutgers bench. The guys weren't expecting that fastball.

 

[RUchip]

This is infuriating

 

[rurichdog]

What a shame...Wimsatt staring at one receiver the whole way, then last second throws to Langan. Johnny Just couldn't make the magic moment. If he can harness that ability to look off defenders, he will be fun to watch in the future.

 

[RUboston]

Looks like Johnny hesitated a bit on that reception.

 

[MadRU]

Schiano is right, Johnny needed to go straight up field not cut back.

 

[rucoe89]

Had it but tried to get too cute. Offseason needs to teach these folks to just drive forward. They need to learn smash mouth.

 

[daneman100]

At the end of the day this is extremely valuable experience for Wimsatt and a lot of young players.

The NCAA should have allowed the top 5-7 teams to practice.

 

[RW90]

Looks like Johnny hesitated a bit on that reception.

Schiano telling him the exact same thing.

 

[rucoe89]

Melton attacks the ball.

Yes - which is why he will have a shot to play Sundays.
