Kyle Monangai for the Heisman Trophy? Start the campaign, Rutgers

[WhiteBus]

We just need to have a big win on a national stage. Whether that is Friday night on FOX vs Washington or if we’re on another national broadcast network for another game:..and we win. That’s when he’ll get consideration

It's starts next Friday. For the team and for Kyle. Win on the road and move on to the next game!

Dude - just stop. Gavin punched 6 one yard TDs into the end zone - not all of them on his first try - but who cares? He got the job done. Fantastic.

In the past 2 games, Kyle punched in one from the 3, one from the 2, and 2 from from 1. He’s 4 for 4. Raymond also punched one in Saturday from the one. So our current group of RBs are 5 for 5 on those. For now, the argument that we needed to use Gavin instead of our RBs to collect those TDs looks ridiculous.

It is fun to analyse and compare the backs
These comparisons are mostly playing lesser teams

RU has consistently had issues punching it in against the better big ten teams, imo
We had a better chance of a td on a longer play, than starting first and goal from the seven, and running it in from there
This was not the fault of the backs

Yes, the thought of the a Washington game was there, it would start those that vote, to take some notice

Wimsatt isn’t a back and he didn’t start from the 7. He started at the 1 yard line with either a fresh set of downs or at worst second down on all 6 of those TDs. One of those runs was against Indiana who beat Akron by 2 in OT last year. Another was in garbage time against Maryland’s scrubs. 2 more were against a depleted Miami D.

Perhaps you can prove me wrong, but I can’t recall any situation in recent memory where we failed to punch the ball through in that situation (assuming 3+ straight rush attempts to try to pick up only one yard) absent a holding penalty (which would have nothing to do with whether the QB keeps the ball or hands off to a RB).

Part of the reason Wimsatt scored is that Monangai was blocking. Easier to score with 10 guys blocking than 9.

Hopefully we can replace Wimsatts ease of scoring with Athan throwing the fade to Strong, Duff, and Toure.

Huh? We’ve had no trouble scoring so far by handing off to the RBs and we would’ve had no trouble doing the same thing last year with a fresh set of downs from the 1. Kyle almost always falls forward. The media discusses this all the time.

None of those 6 tush push TDs were against OSU types. It was Indiana, Miami (missing a big chunk of their roster), and Maryland (one of two in garbage time). To say that was the only way we could’ve found the end zone on the ground is a major reach.

There is no reason not to promote Kyle for the Heisman right now, no matter how unlikely. The press is good for the program and I would expect some of BTN commentators will happily jump on board to say good things, and probably even some of the national guys. VT does not look good against the run, so KM has a good chance for another big game in two weeks. Until he has one or two less productive games and one or more of the QBs start to separate themselves, we should be hyping him up.

yup, someone said bad publicity is better than no publicity. km success is shining a light on our program, and will be getting college fb fans see what all the fuss is about.........this is a home run for ru.

Should be no excuse of why he shouldn’t be in NYC if he has the season he had last year. None. He should be the obligatory non QB guy at the ceremony.
