Football LIVE THREAD: RFootball @ Northwestern

[RUfromNJ]

We want no part of this one today

 

[RU#1fan]

Paging Chris ash !

Greg 2.0 looks clueless

 

[RU848789]

Let's not jump offsides on 4th and 4...

 

[Plum Street]

Defense bending but breaking . They are gonna get exhausted

 

[RUTrack94]

Can we get a friggin turnover please!

We have had 2 in the past 4-1/2 games

 

[FrankZ]

Fake punt dumb

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Watch them fake it.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Will this be the momentum shift?

 

[Plum Street]

jeez Fitzgerald

 

[mildone]

Good special teams play there.

 

[RUeric]

Thanks NW. What a dumb call. Can the offense turn it into points?

 

[bitnez]

What a terrible call by Pat. Totally stupid

 

[nutfromSEC117]

One of the worst play calls in history

 

[RW90]

Um, wow.

 

[Caliknight]

Fitzgerald outsmarting himself. Punter was scared

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

Will this be the momentum shift?

Well. You need an offense to take advantage. Do we have one ?

 

[runner3283]

Relax we’re only in Year 2 of the rebuild. Wait until year 6. We’ll be awesome!!

Year 6 or 16

jeez Fitzgerald

brain fart by coach

 

[ClassOf02]

Design-wise, that may be the worst fake punt I’ve ever seen.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

everyone knew they were going for it there but good play by D

 

[RUevolution36]

Why fake it? Just go for it. Not like we're stopping them consistently

 

[DavidJM]

When you're. playing this bad, you gotta take advantage of what they give you.

 

[Plum Street]

If northwestern was gonna go for it , just let the offense run a play . Not a fake when the Defense in punt safe

 

[RU#1fan]

Offense needs to do something… any F’nnnn thing.
Bring in Johnny for Christ sake

 

[RUTRINI]

Watch them fake it.

Amazing 👏

 

[scarletbergen]

Do not put Pacheco on the field!

 

[rutgersguy1]

I thought that was kind of obvious by Fitzgerald considering he went for a 4th and 12 earlier. Thought a decent chance they might do it so no deception. He would’ve been better off just going for it with the offense than a fake.

 

[Shelby65]

No respect for RU offense. No downside to the fake

 

[FrankZ]

We’ll probably do nothing, but I mean dumb. Just keep pinning us back and enjoy the 3 and outs. 🤷‍♂️

 

[RUJMM78]

Its bad enough that the offensive and defensive lines stink but then you have to add the stupid penalties that allows Northwestern to continue offensive drives.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

I love Pacheco but agree what we are asking him to do just isn't working.

 

[RUissy]

D3 game on BTN? Looking forward to basketball season

 

[leftoright]

Need LA Dodgers "charge trumpet" inside the red helmets soon as the break is over.

 

[RUChoppin]

No respect for RU offense. No downside to the fake

Other than losing your punter to a Fogg hit.

 

[Plum Street]

Maybe time for a trick play .

 

[lloyde dobler]

Second week in a row team with a really bad fake try when they should have just gone for it.

 

[RW90]

Offense needs to do something… any F’nnnn thing.

You know, it did turn the Purdue game around. I'd try a series.

 

[RU848789]

Finally a positive running play, wow

 

[FrankZ]

A first down!

 

[RU#1fan]

Millen - NE Defense playing well.
Ummmmm No have you seen our Offense this year ?

 

[rurichdog]

This is done no purpose so nobody hires Gleeson and he stays a 3rd year.

But he spent the entire year working on his sideline-walking demeanor. He's totally Head Coach material.
