Football Rutgers Football defeats Minnesota, snaps four-game skid

[rutgersguy1]

Is true that we rarely see it, which is mystifying since it’s normally a standard part of every offense’s playbook and used whenever a D is getting into the backfield too much by sending extra players.

That’s not just KC that’s for many of our OCs in the last whatever many years, can’t say we’ve used screens all that effectively for quite some time

 

[93RUDoc]

Nice throw Athan

C’mon Strong, I’ve played soccer with a broken toe. It’s foot pain. Rub some dirt on it, maybe tape it to the toes next to it, and get back out there. You can hurt when you’re dead.

Right? I don’t get it.

 

[rucoe89]

Offense back to its old ways. Lack of consistency and self destruction.

 

[kupuna133]

Now Kirk has resorted to his obvious playcalling. Did a nice job in the first half.

 

[FrankZ]

🤦‍♂️

 

[RUeric]

Now we refuse to run the ball. KC really doesn't have a feel for things at all.

 

[RUSK97]

They’ve adjusted and figured out how to neutralize AK

 

[mildone]

OL has gone frigid. If that doesn’t get fixed, we lose.

 

[Extra Point]

They have to call a screen, Mini is bringing the whole team blitz.

 

[mdk01]

Rough series for the OL. Need to adjust to Minn's halftime adjustments.

 

[RU#1fan]

Now there’s the OL we know and love. Need a new OL Coach and new S&C Coach too.

 

[rucoe89]

Now Kirk has resorted to his obvious playcalling. Did a nice job in the first half.

Doesn't help that AK is no longer able to hit any passes. We can win this game but as the clock ticks we once again don't know how to do that.

 

[ru-baby]

Fear that they’ve somehow come to the conclusion that’s obvious to isolate tight ends and running backs like SCNUCLA did

 

[rucoe89]

Now there’s the OL we know and love. Need a new OL Coach and new S&C Coach too.

OL has been fine. Problem is plays are taking too long to develop and Kaliakmanis is just missing throws. Minny is now just tee-ing off on him.

 

[rutgersguy1]

That missed XP might loom large for Minn.

 

[RUeric]

Why do we even put a man back on PR's? Just load up the line if you're not ever going to field the punt.

 

[mildone]

I think you gotta be patient and run a lot right now.

 

[rucoe89]

Schinano also needs to be grilled if he fails to address special team return game. We have given up so much yardage for lack of any return game.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

AGAIN LETTING THE BALL ROLL ON A PUNT TO LOSE ANOTHER 15 yards and back up the already handicapped offense !!!

 

[FrankZ]

Whew 👏

 

[Extra Point]

Kaliackmanis throwing a block for his RB

 

[ru-baby]

Geez, every single time all season that the quarterback runs to the line turns out to be a run. Really surprised that Minnesota hasn’t picked up on it more than the one time they did earlier.

 

[RUeric]

Defense is doing enough to give us a chance to win. Offense has crapped the bed this second half. One team adjusted and the other just thought everything would work again the same.

 

[njknightsfan]

Now there’s the OL we know and love. Need a new OL Coach and new S&C Coach too.

Put a new head coach in there as well, it’s almost XMAS, I’ll put that on my wish list and Santa can bring that gift.

 

[kupuna133]

Doesn't help that AK is no longer able to hit any passes. We can win this game but as the clock ticks we once again don't know how to do that.

It’s not AK’s fault. No need to go pass heavy. It’s not one or the other, only run only pass. Had a nice mix and urgency in the first half. Now we are playing behind the sticks.

There were a couple drops on that last possession also.

 

[RU#1fan]

If we go 4-8 next year again there need to be a change. 6 years of a rebuild is more than enough time.

 

[RUSK97]

Why no DPI?

 

[BBpickles]

Schianoball ugh

 

[RUeric]

KC is out of control. A 50/50 jump ball down the field can't be your 3rd down call.

 

[rucoe89]

If we go 4-8 next year again there need to be a change. 6 years of a rebuild is more than enough time.

Expect 4-8. This team just doesn't know how to put it all together to win a game. One side or the other side of the ball appears to play well in a game and the other side struggles. Given how depleted we are we need both to play well.

 

[RUSK97]

Good pressure

 

[kupuna133]

First time I have seen an interior linemen use a swim move all year.

 

[Caliknight]

We need a turnover this game to win it

 

[rucoe89]

Dremel is such a waste back there. Again, he just lets the ball roll. His role is worthless.

 

[RUSK97]

Minny’s kicking game is incredible

 

[RUeric]

25 yard roll allowed by Dremel. The days of RU being a good at special teams are long gone.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

unreal !!! Again the punt rolls 15-20 yards !!

We must have -100 yards in rolling punts today

 

[ru-baby]

The unbelievable conservatism in the return game is killing this team. Giving up kick off yards, and now multiple punch yards by training the returner to get away from any ball that hits the ground.
