Football Rutgers Football suffers ugly loss to No. 22 Iowa on Saturday

[TGonzRU]

So much holding.

 

[bac2therac]

Defense wearing down

Whats next Greg

 

[RUfromNJ]

Have we thrown a pass over the middle yet? Terrible possession. GW needed to run that ball on 2nd down as there was room there.

Yup and it was into triple coverage

 

[Plum Street]

Captain Kirk !

 

[Rokodesh]

Think Sutton is going to have difficult game versus Penn State.

Reggie is a great kid but he has no mobility after his injuries.

 

[rurichdog]

We must be saving the big offensive plays for 4 th quarter

What year?

 

[Jimpeg]

Greg said RU could be like Iowa in developing players and culture...he is getting out coached today...KIrk needs open the offense up with short passes....

 

[trueyanksfan]

First poorly played game of the year. Very disappointing.

 

[socaldave]

The more I see of GW, the more I think I am not sure if he has the smarts to play the position. He has the physical tools, but not sure about the mental tools.

Can’t turn a frog into a prince
That only happens in fairytales
This a merit based endeavor

Gavin doesn’t have the accuracy to consistently throw them

 

[bac2therac]

If the staff is going to avoid passing the ball all season, can’t expect the passing game to just flip a switch and start working.

The passing offense effectiveness was cast already before this game started.

This is why Inkeep saying pass it now to prepare for next year.

No one should be surprised at this offense and playcalling today

When we brought this crap up we were met with GW has team 6-2

 

[greenknight]

Tackled

 

[dmurph24]

QB play = terrible

 

[LotusAggressor]

How was this guy ever a four star?

Stars aren't everything, but they aren't nothing. They become meaningless with below average coaching.

 

[Jumba72]

Time for Simon9

please

Iowa came to play. We have not through 3 Quarters.

 

[RUScrew85]

Well looks like we're not as good as we thought.

 

[rurichdog]

It's so frustrating. Whenever we have the chance to rid ourselves of the "Same old Rutgers" stench, we pull a game like this out of our asses.

 

[RU848789]

youngest of 16, who has 8 brothers and 8 sisters...hmmm, check me on the math here, but my calculations show that's 17...

 

[rucoe89]

What year?

2025

 

[greenknight]

Damnnn no condoms used in that Fam

 

[RUAldo]

I guess when they hold on every single play it just looks normal to the refs.

 

[LotusAggressor]

We must be saving the big offensive plays for 4 th quarter

Let's hope so.

 

[spawnofsatan]

RU needs a better coaches. Clean house.

 

[Rokodesh]

the outcome of this game is 100000000% on the OC

How about a sweep to Rochelle or a slant to Aaron Young. He deserves an F for today so far. This is worse than Mehringer.

 

[RUTGERS95]

I want to see Sheppard

I think if that’s what you want then you need to find a different qb. I don’t think passing more will make much a difference to the future.

But we don’t have that now so we are what we are and you work within those parameters.

What makes you think there is more to this offense? If you haven’t seen it this season to this point it doesn’t exist. There is no open up. This is the Kirk offense. That’s why he was fired from PSU.

 

[njxchange]

we have 1 page offense.

The more I see of GW, the more I think I am not sure if he has the smarts yet to play the position. He has the physical tools, but not mental tools as of yet. If that does not improve in the offseason, we better hope Sheppard and Surace develop quickly.

i have been GW supporter all year but his reluctant to run is making me rethink.
Maybe his QB IQ will never follow his physical tools...

Cannot be the same mother...her vagina must be the size of the Grand Canyon

 

[BOCA93]

WRs are allowed to tackle dbs?

 

[Joey Bags]

How did Iowa lose 31-0 against PSU??

 

[Lerxst72]

It's so frustrating. Whenever we have the chance to rid ourselves of the "Same old Rutgers" stench, we pull a game like this out of our asses.

The only explanation I can come up with is - Rutgers truly is cursed when it comes to football.

 

[G- RUnit]

Blind faith in Wimsatt may very well cost us four winnable games. SMH

 

[RUTGERS95]

the outcome of this game is 100000000% on the OC

Greg is the issue not the OC. I think the playcalling stinks but he's being told the overall game plan.

Greg wanted a close game, he's probably happy it's only 6pts

 

[RU848789]

When we brought this crap up we were met with GW has team 6-2

So, you were expecting to beat #1 and #22 on the road? Dumb post.

 

[newell138]

People acting like it’s 35-0. Did you really expect anything different this game? If you did you were the only one in the country. There’s a reason the under was historic

 

[RutgersDom]

Gavin doesn’t have the accuracy to consistently throw them

Not the issue today. We should be running more and HE needs to keep some. Captain Kirk has to be calling “rpo handoffs “ only which is ridiculous.

 

[rutgersguy1]

we have 1 page offense.

Leach had a less than 1 page offense 😜
