RU vs Minnesota GAME THREAD :

[RUBand]

That's the point. At least there's a good Gio and a bad Gio. There's no good Laviano.

Ok, give Gio some playing time to gain experience

 

[Rokodesh]

Cmon defense

DL is getting dominated

 

[koleszar]

Cioffi with another whiff.

 

[bac2therac]

also keep in mind that the Minny defense doesnt have alot to work with in prepping for Gio and RU..big advantage for RU and Gio is stepping up

Gio finally gives the fans something to root for with this team

 

[ivan brunetti]

some bad tackling

 

[OC Knight]

LBs will lose this game.

 

[RUSK97]

Looove this rugby tackling.

 

[RU848789]

Our tackling is sometimes really, really bad...

 

[Block R]

Wrap him up. This isn't Dancing With The Stars!

 

[RUinOhio]

Cioffi with another whiff.

now morris

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Once again Cioffi no where near the play.

 

[Plum Street]

Cmon defense . Do something

 

[Caliknight]

Need a turnover.

 

[bitnez]

LBs will lose this game.

Still don't trust their reads

 

[Knightmoves]

Come on RU. Where's the D ?

 

[Block R]

Great play by Morris on that one staying with his assignment

 

[ponyfoot19]

Its easier to throw long when you have time, guys not in your face, and can step into the throw.

 

[koleszar]

Held to a field goal not bad.

 

[RU848789]

24-17. At least we didn't give up a TD.

 

[madchuck]

Laviano couldnt even start at Monmouth.

 

[RUBand]

Gio throws the bomb to Patten for a touchdown.He looked injured prior to the play but told the sidelines that he wanted to stay in the game.I like his toughness.

He was limping when Oden went in for two plays

 

[Knightmoves]

We are in this game. Lets move the ball.

BTW Jack Lynn from Minny can kiss my azz.

 

[zappaa]

Cioffi does not play because of his tackling ability

 

[Blitz8RUCrazy]

Come on RU. Where's the D ?

There is no D in RU. That's why we don't see it on the field.

 

[madchuck]

Cioffi with another whiff.

Do we have anyone better than Cioffi?

 

[redking]

Minn gashed the defense with a bunch of runs but at least the D held them to 3. Time for the offense to answer.

 

[koleszar]

Its easier to throw long when you have time, guys not in your face, and can step into the throw.

They can't stack the box now. Because we have a QB who can throw. That's why the O line looks much better now. They had to get out of an 8 man blitzing box, they were and are getting killed through the air.

 

[Caliknight]

Still don't trust their reads

And are slow as shit and weak.

 

[zappaa]

He was limping when Oden went in for two plays

So what, he was rolling around on the ground before his TD pass

 

[Mr. Gerbz]

Cioffi does not play because of his tackling ability

Why?

 

[koleszar]

Do we have anyone better than Cioffi?

Probably not as they're all hurt now.

 

[RUBand]

Still kept them out of the end zone

 

[OC Knight]

It appears the receivers are not that bad. It's a give-and-take relationship between the QB and receivers and when the QB doesn't give you a chance your receivers will look like crap.

And to think some here blamed CLs shortfall on lack of WR playmakers. Never that he didn't make them better.

 

[motorb54]

I also question the staff, Gio scores on his first touch of the season and then rides pine for a bunch of games.

I believe it was his second snap where he ran for the TD.

 

[RU848789]

Well, even if we lose, we're showing improvement. Those farkin' TOs are just killer, though - makes it so much harder.

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Its easier to throw long when you have time, guys not in your face, and can step into the throw.

There's a difference isGio has ability to run with success, so on a second down you catching with a pass and they're surprised. With Laviano (can't run), you know it's run run then pass on 3rd and long.

 

[RUSK97]

BTW Jack Lynn from Minny can kiss my azz.

What an a-hole

 

[RU848789]

Haven't seen Gio run since he appeared to hurt his leg - anyone hear anything about his leg?

 

[NickKnight 1]

Have you been watching this team the past two years. Rettig has proven he can't play and hasn't taken a snap in forever. Oden has played in almost every game this year. Sheesh.

Never happened, sober up.

 

[ArminRU]

Gio really doing a good job stepping up in the pocket
