RU vs Minnesota GAME THREAD :
- Thread starter Abro1975
- Start date
we didn't blitz a LB that entire last series... nobody seems to be able to hold onto the QB when rushing 4... I miss Schiano's aggressive defense. Poor tackling when it counted most. and 1 poor snap-hold-pat kick from overtime. oh how I just love these games. 3 now we could have won without the mistakes. We could have been undefeated except for 3 top 5 team games.
We have no kicking game. Awful kickoffs. Punts suck. And coverage is terrible.
I actually had fun watching an RU football game today.
This is the ONLY thing i have wanted, just show me something. Some progress, some hope.
If the team continues to improve now the rest of the season, we will pick up momentum, and it will translate to recruiting season and then into the future. this is what i've wanted to see. If we come out swinging next game, then we know the Ash era has OFFICIALLY BEGAN.

you cant get down 21-3 on the road against a bowl team...thats the bottom line, once again slow starts killing this team putting them in a hole they do not have to be in
and this is one thing i can pretty much agree with everyone is on talent. Which is good, b/c that can be fixed as we get deeper.
When asked after the game Laviano had no worries being down.
If he makes that it's a tie game going into OT. The defense sucked, special teams sucked, but don't say it had nothing to do with the missed PAT.
when the game is over after 10 minutes. I was ready to check out at 21-3, but kept listening and they made some plays but not enough.
*Sigh* another tough loss....On to the next and hope they leave Okruch in Minny and not sure I'm sold on Niemann (sp?) either.
AND HIS PLAYER RAN OFF IN THUG GLORY,ACTING LIKE A A HOLE.. NICE JOB COACH!
Why do you think there's no hope of a win? Last I saw, Indiana was losing to Northwestern, and Indiana comes to us in two weeks. And maybe we can build on the good things from today and win another game on the remaining schedule. Or am I just drinking Kool-Aid here?
Schiano's D had different players, and while there were amazing moments, the middle seemed to be wide open every other play.
Painful.... my one complaint at the very end was, why not air it out with six seconds left?..... that lateral stuff on a short pass with a long way to go has no shot imho...... certainly not with our players.
If you throw the post pattern, two good things can happen...... they might commit pass interference, continuing the game..... then you just reload and do it again from a bit closer.
Or, the defender might fall down, two defenders banging into each other, a basic screw up..... I can see this happening at the college level....
Desperation? Sure... but you call the desperation play with a chance.

I think that we played better than we have at any other time this season. I like Gio at QB a lot. We still haven't learned to wrap up and tackle properly though.
Coach Ash needs to let Gio play continuously, the freshman needs to sit.

you can't put that all on the kicker. it was a poor snap (which we've had issues all year), a poor hold given the poor snap, and it threw off the kick.
There were so many othr plays or misses that could have made the difference. How bout the Int to end the half with 3 points in your pocket.
Technically it hurt, but they all add up drew.
yes, I agree. But even rushing 1 LB or a corner blitz....something other than stand back and let the QB have time like that.
I didnt say it had nothing to do with it, its part of it but RU had a chance to stop them and didnt with 3 minutes left. He also made a kick at a range we know he generally isnt good at making.
Gio also threw an INT before half that could have cost 3-7 points.
one of Rescignos best passes of the day was that 3rd and 20 when the receiver did not get a foot in bounds..... a pro would have achieved that a good percentage of the time.....
That would have been amazing to continue a drive facing a 3 rd and long..... just as impressive as
The td throws.

until today I didn't think we had a shot. If Gio can stay healthy and our D can show up from the 1st qtr and we cut down the big mistakes (lol...yeah I know that's a lot)...we have a chance now for 1 or 2.
At least there is now hope again and something worth watching.
I do give em credit..they haven't quit so neither will I.

That one Manny run where the guy got down to the 10 yard line was a killer..... if we tackled him where we should have, maybe it's a 35 or 40 yard attempt...
That's an asinine statement especially after we've been crucified the past few weeks for losing by over 50. In a rebuilding year yes it does matter. Shows your not completely incompetent and not that far away with the right pieces. Another crock of shit cliché'.
Interceptions going to happen when you've had very little 1st team practice. Throws and decisions going to get better.
I realize now I mis-read your post and what you meant when you said about the PAT.
Does this offense need 2 QBs? It seems to me that the QB is more vulnerable than in a pro-set because the QB carries the ball more often in this offense.
Relax. Don't think it was intentional. Bang bang play. If the shoe was on the other foot, we would be in the same position.
It was Patton and he should have gotten his feet in. He was lazy that is a play all receivers should know how to make. That could have been a game changer.
I was talking about the FG attempt at the end of the game, but you knew that genius.
Not when people were posting that he wasn't. It's really not worth continuing to argue about.
That's what I was talking about, but a-hole just wants to talk sh*t to people like he's the smartest guy in the room.
I was highliting the players actions after ejection ran length of field,helmet off.screaming at crowd,acting like an Ahole.
