Placing Indiana on Upset Alert!!

Stop, he called nothing. There is no credit for putting a two win team on upset alert.

It's just a desperate look-at-me mid-life crisis moment.

Whether Al's a
Blind Squirrel
or a
Seeing Eye Dog
Nor if it was noon or midnight it happened.
Al made a 12 O'Clock call
and it happened.

RU Fans need to encourage the Book of Optimism be published , not preach the Pessimistic Bible
for all to believe.

The Culture surrounding the RU Fanbase is far different that some other schools.
Examples:
The Nits We are Penn St chant means the Penn St fans feel their Football team is better than their opponent ( any and every one of them)

Bama's Roll Tide is just their fans feeling the Crimson Tide can score at will against any one and take the game easily

Rutgers fans when adversity shows it's ugly face, RU football fans just say it's the Rutgers Screw happening again to us.
When RU fans say "We are Rutger" it just means if a bad thing can happen, expect it to hit.
Anyone saying different and looks on things in a positive manner Must Be Shunned because the RU FB program is not good enough to expect an upset win.
 
Indiana Football is currently 2-7, coming off a 29-7 loss to Michigan. Their two wins have come against Idaho and Western Kentucky. Notably they played Michigan State tough, falling 20-15, and lost a heartbreaker to Maryland 38-35. Other games were not close, and they have yet to win a Big Ten game.

Injuries have hit the Hoosiers hard this year, especially at Quarterback, but their starter, Michael Penix, is expected to play tomorrow. Penix is their leading passer, having appeared in 5 games, completing 87 of 162 passes for a completion % of 53.7%, 7 interceptions, and averaging 187.8 passing yards per game. Their leading rusher is Stephen Carr, who has rushed 155 times for 645 yards and 6 TDS, with. along run of 66 yards. The leading receivers are Hendershot (53.4 receiving yards per game), Fryfogle (49.4 receiving yards per game), and Marshall (24.6 receiving yards per game).

Middle Linebacker Michael McFadden is the leading tackler with 55 and also has 15 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery. The defense is last in the Big Ten in terms of points given up while the offense is #12 in the. Big ten in terms of scoring.

They have given up 23. sacks (2.5 sacks per game) while getting 15 sacks of their. own.

Indiana would seem to be a prime opportunity for victory, but one only needs to look at our recent history with them, to see that we will have our work cut out for us:

  • 2020: 37-21
  • 2019: 35-0
  • 2018::24-17
  • 2017: 41-0
  • 2016: 33-27
  • 2015: 55-52 (W)
Time flies, and all of a sudden, we've lost five straight to them, with the last two road contests being complete wipeouts.
Furthermore, when you consider how we performed last week, it should give one reason for concern:

  • 4 Mistakes led to 28 Wisconsin Points
  • Inability to adequately protect the passer
  • Inability to rush the opposing passer
  • Inability to stop the opponents rushing attack
  • quarterback made awful decisions in throwing 2 picks, 1 returned for a TD
But if we further dig into the numbers, we will see that Rutgers will have a good chance of winning:

  • Wisconsin's Rush Defense is #1 in the Big Ten, while Indiana's is #14
  • Isaih Pacheco ran reasonably well against Wisconsin's tough rush defense (9 carries for 57 yards, a 6.1 ypc average)
  • Indiana's defense allows 31.3 points per game while its offense averages 20.3 points per game
  • Rutgers defense allows 24.9 points per game while our offense averages 21.3 points per game, so we have a smaller spread
  • Indiana has the #12 scoring offense while Rutgers is #11 in Big Ten Play (21.3 ppg vs 20.3 ppg)
  • Indiana has let up 23 sacks on the year, while getting 15 sacks on the year
  • Rutgers has given up 16 sacks while getting 15 sacks

So what this tells me, is that Rutgers should pull out a slight victory.

Well bitchez Al hit one out of the park today!

seems like it upset you and some others to have an underdog win and Al call that win.
Upsets happen when the winning team wasn't picked to win , no matter if the loser was favored by 1 or 99.
Rutgers pulled off an upset today
We get it you guys want Al to have a moral victory...lol

Itโ€™s like someone predicting rain everyday and then bragging about how he was right the day it rains
 
The vitriol posted in this thread is really disgusting. You all know what Al's upset threads look like. If you don't like them, don't believe them, think they are ridiculous just keep scrolling. Don't read them.
The name calling is is beyond immature, to the point of bullying.
The need to temper his enthusiasm for his team, YOUR team, is something I don't, and will never understand.
 
Upset is what the line says it is.
It just says Vegas badly misread the game.
Rutgers is 5-3(7-1 ATS) on the road in the BIG in 2020 and 2021, w/ Cuse 6-3(8-1)
@NW 7-21 only non cover.
Indiana lost 5 straight with a true freshman QB, only close game vs Md.

I don't get it either. Something that is fun making some people so mad makes no sense. Over half the people on the board thought RU would be blown out, including the Puppy, and afterwards some people say "They were a 2 win team. Of course RU would win".

maybe the line was right on and you just don't want to admit it was an upset win and make Al's upset alert look good.
 
He can't get props when an upset happens when he calls for an upset EVERY SINGLE TIME (or did he skip one?) we are an underdog. That's just silly.

Any way you look at it, a 4-5 team traveling to a 2-7 team on a 5 game losing streak being outscored 64-165 is not an upset.
if you say so, but Vegas made the Hoosiers a 7.5 favorite.
Rutgers had lost five of it's last 6 games and the last one was a shellacking
Four of the 5 IU loses were to top 25 teams, 3 of them AP top 10.

Mom's mad at ya'll.

Let's enjoy it. We're alive for a bowl. (Pedd State is a loss). And our nutty superfan called the upset.

This. Is. A. Good. Day.

Oh and the Hamilton NJ Watch Party was not advertised and moved to the bar it was so small. Ha!
