Kansas State has a really nice football fieldhouse

Once again simple logic escapes you. It is the same coaching staff that evaluated and recruited a less talented group of players and turned that same 60th recruiting class into a more talented group.? See how that works?
It was the coaching staff (ksu) that adjusted and exploited. And the other went into a shell again and got exploited on both sides of the ball.

Did Kansas Coaches also develop their players so they could run faster? Because speed was an important element of why KSU won. The notion that needs to penetrate your thick skull is that Kansas State had better players. It’s not complicated.

Spoken like someone that never played a sport. Were said better athletes not on the field in the first half and early second half? Did they only come out when the tides turned? Who recruited these athletes? Why were the rankings only flawed for teams in Rutgers schedule?

The talent level was similar. The issue is coaching once again went into a shell and got soft on d and more predictable on o. They got away from exploiting the edge and attacking with the young receivers and went with inside action and targeted miller who didn’t have a good game. D stayed basic and we were exploited by our tendencies without making proper adjustments. Something that was covered by KSU staff. But what do they know.

Once again you move the goalposts AL. When you get shown data. You say it's flawed. When you show similar data it's dogma. And if the data is so flawed stop pointing to it when you say we have studs coming in and sighting that we only got 2 nj top 10’s. It’s flawed after all. It’s only arbitrary and capricious when it doesn’t fit your agenda.

Poeple aren't decommiting or not commiting at all because of infrastructure alone. Gavin deommited because he realized his talents wouldn't be utilized appropriately by our offensive scheme.
Gavin left because he sucked and wasn't going to be the starter. Best thing that happened to the Rutgers 2024 team. GW is on his way to another school because he wants to start as a QB but doesn't have the talent at this level.
Agree that people aren't leaving because we don't have a fieldhouse. That's old news. People leave a school because they got a better $ offer somewhere else.

Wrong Gavin. Al was talking about Gavin Sidwar qb commit out of LaSalle high. Not talking about portal talking about high school recruits.

The results on the field show they had better talent . The recruiting rankings you’re citing are arbitrary and capricious.

If recruiting rankings are arbitrary and capricious, does that mean you aren’t impressed by HC Schiano’s 2024 recruiting ranking either?

Good to know that his past class having a high ranking doesn’t mean anything to you and should the considered an accomplishment.

Schiano’s D has been basic since 2001, when he first started. He is always going to go into a shell when up, so I’m not sure why this is an issue, now. It’s the way he coaches.

The Kstate Coaches learned from their first half experience and adapted, to take better advantage of their kids superior speed and talent. On the 65 yard run, their offensive line put our defenders on roller skates. The hole the back ran through was as wide as the Red Sea. That’s not coaching. That’s talent. They put a hat on hat and beat us up.

But the bottomline is that their kids executed at crunch time. Coming from 17 down is not easy to do. Yet they did it, because they exploited our much slower defenders.

Ours didn’t execute at crunch time, though we had our opportunities. We also turned the ball over, at a key moment in the game.

The stats show Their quarterback was slightly more productive than ours. But Their running back was significantly more productive than ours, and was the difference in the game, throwing up 197 rushing yards.

The biggest difference between the teams was talent.
 
There wouldn’t have been a 17 point comeback if we had better players, which a Fieldhouse would have facilitated. Only landed 2 of NJs Top 10 this recruiting cycle. Recruits are speaking with their decisions.

Gavin Sidwar, our ‘26 QB recruit decommitted from Rutgers and may be going to Syracuse, among other places.
This wouldn't have been a 17 point comeback if the coaches figured out how to defend misdirection or the zone read. KSU is good, but the talent difference was negligible. RU lost this game because their coaches were outschemed.

Al I get you are passionate and opinionated. But that’s really all you have is opinion. Because you have less than a basic understanding of this game and what it takes to succeed.

KSU's gameplan from the beginning was to spread RU out and play in space. The KSU coaches also figured out the RU has problems defending misdirection. Their DC figured out that RU was not going to effectively counter their blitzing on early downs. RU lost this game on the sidelines. The talent was equal. KSU isn't Ohio State.

It was evident to me that they were much faster than we were. Their superior Fieldhouse provided them with the edge to recruit better players. Their players executed, and we didn’t execute as well.

*Agree, it’s not complicated. That is why Schiano had it in his contract. But it’s not happening for another decade or more. FTR Most Rutgers alumni do not donate to athletics, the results are on the W/L column.

Rutgers BB pulled in a few high recruits with the new practice facility

I think Al does a good job trying to educate the average fan about what the competition looks like. Kansas state has tremendous fan support through thick or thin. Better than RU by far. So he’s trying to raise awareness. He’s not making an excuse for losing at least that I can see. It’s interesting that people argue and even get angry that we should for some reason ignore the obvious impediments we have to sustained success in athletics.

Put the running back on our team and we win the game. Their offensive line dominated our defense, which is why they ran for well over 347 rushing yards while we rushed for 164 rushing yards. That’s not a negligible talent difference. Their line was much better than ours.

Furthermore, Didn’t we out scheme them over the course of scoring 41 points? Of course we did. The point differential was also negligible. But at the end of the day, they were simply the better team.

Great. You’re entitled to your opinion. And I’m entitled to my opinion that you’re pretty clueless when it comes to value propositions that other programs are offering, which is why it is so difficult for us to recruit. If you don’t understand that money and talent are the biggest determinants of success, then we will have to disagree.

I see my friends at Miami, PSU, and OSU raising money in droves. They may not see ROI, but I respect the fact that they are giving it their best effort. Meanwhile I see my fellow Rutgers fans sticking their head in the sand. And they will complain the loudest when the desired result isn’t achieved. And that is what I find particularly infuriating.

Buddy I take that as a compliment from you. I actually have set foot in the rooms you look at the videos of. I know all about value prop. And I know when you lose the argument You do 2 things move the goal posts and resort to name calling. Look above what Doug said and take that into account. He played this game at pretty high level and I played another one. Let’s leave it at that.

KSU's coaches adjusted. RU's didn't. The explosion plays KSU generated were the result of RU's defenders being completely out of position. That's a coaching problem. When KSU started blitzing on early downs in the second half, RU had no plan B. That's also a coaching problem.

They were the better coached team. Good coaching would have maintained a double digit 2nd half lead

Did The coaches throw an interception? No, they didnt. Did the coaches miss tackles? No, they didn’t. Did coaches look like they were playing on roller skates during the KSU backs 65 yard run? No , they didn’t. This is all personal related.

41 points should have been more than enough to win the game. But once again lack of depth, which forced us to play kids before they we’re ready, was a factor.

‘Problems defending misdirection’ was due to overpursuit of their much faster skill position players. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. As much as I dislike Schiano, I wouldn’t blame defending misdirection on him.

How often did we actually run the jet sweep this year despite Dremel’s 100 or so pre-snap motions ? Zero. KSU had the speed to do it, and got multiple big gains doing it.

How the story has changed. You admitted a couple of years ago in your “Gavin tape watching” posts. That you didn’t play. Okay.
Not sure how any of what you just posted translates to a team sport but you have fun running laps and drinking beer.

Adonis Al does boast about his imposing 6’ 230” sculpted bod. Sculpted with an oversized muffin top, but sculpted nonetheless. Shelby is glad to never have witnessed this brute gazelle running marathons and hittin’ dingers in his over-50 coed softball league.

Regardless, obviously Al had the benefit of a glorious high school Fieldhouse to fuel his All NBIAL talents at Polk High.
