Football Rutgers staves off mistake-prone Washington 21-18 at home

[chase_NJ]

I believe Strong had a similar catch like it last year. Can’t remember the game.

Northwestern - game 1.

AK has proven himself. Take that Minnesota.

Minnesota fans talk about Athan as if he is as inaccurate a passer as Wimsatt.

 

[RUTRINI]

Fun watching VT beating U

 

[Rutgers85]

VT up by 10 at the half. Maybe our win last week was bigger than people thought.

Up 7

 

[FrankZ]

Imagine if we can establish the ground game in the second half

…and take a 21-3 lead after the opening possession 😉

 

[LotusAggressor]

THAT was the kind of catch RU has been missing for a long time

Nice to be on the other side of that for once.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

I wonder if there is any word on Felter.

 

[SBP]

Our D Line is going to be the difference this game… and key to the season. Let’s hope it gets going. Fast. From pass rush (none) to stopping the run, it’s the weak link thus far.

That halftime show was phenomenal

Northwestern?

That halftime show was phenomenal

Fox trolling us by putting “Rutger” on the screen during that promo with Monongai before going to break

That is what it is and as far as targeting that has been inconsistent for as long as it’s been in effect. I don’t think anyone knows what it is from play to play for sure.

But they’ve also called stuff that killed their drives and gave us a second chance at a TD.

Don’t give up any TOs and we’re in good shape

I would like to see us run them into the ground over the Q3. Wear down their D, as we did several times last season. But let’s see if they insist on packing the box. Plus we’re possibly down a starter on the OL which could be significant.

 

[RUinOhio]

I’m not complaining about the officials so much as laughing at the inconsistency on the QB hits. The officiating is fine, they’re human and there’;s always inconsistency.

My only complaint was the targeting otherwise been great imo

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

We need to figure out how to get to the QB. That’s the missing link of D.

The D Line and just overall tackling in general by the whole defense needs improvement.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Not Achilles. It’s his knee they’re testing out.

ACL is knee…. I hope not - but non-contact and knee go hand in hand with ACL.

My only complaint was the targeting otherwise been great imo

That’s been one of, if not the, most inconsistly called penalty since it was introduced. I never know what the refs will call targeting. Both guys in the booth plus the FOX official thought that first one was targeting. But for some reason, the replay official said nope. I’d love to know the reason.

But whatever, the refs being inconsistent is how it goes. They definitely aren’t biased against us.

 

[RUinOhio]

Virginia Tech huge pick near the end zone and huge return

 

[iReC89]

It’s so loud. Somebody save us

AirPod noise cancellation mode is not legit ear safety but helps and is not obvious.

 

[93RUDoc]

Love it, go to the ground game

 

[mildone]

Booth dude just jinxed us.

 

[RUinOhio]

Felter is out there!

 

[FrankZ]

🤦‍♂️

 

[Rutgers85]

 

[ru-baby]

R we awake!!!

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

He’s really good their RB

 

[NickRU714]

Love it, go to the ground game

We need to keep passing to win.

 

[RU-Hunter]

I miss Kosak

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

This one is too similar to that sim for my liking right now

 

[SBP]

D Line. Sucks. As I said. Gonna be the teams downfall

 

[ru109]

4 down territory?

 

[beaced]

Washington has no identity. Really hard game to predict.

Easy for me

Kaliakmanis had to break that first tackle and he did it! He runs for a 1st down! Rutgers moving the ball nicely.

eas. Not wearing my RED Cap the first half.Will have it on for the second.about to worry

 

[zgoru]

we're winning, no?

 

[93RUDoc]

DEFENSE

 

[FrankZ]

Well that was huge. Yippee

 

[BillyC80]

Dodged another bullet, wow!

 

[ru-baby]

Great to see been out there

 

[hallside]

That crowd clip was true bliss. Rutgers Football at it's best.

 

[LotusAggressor]

That ball was quacking.

 

[mildone]

we're winning, no?

We’re winning. But we’re not playing great. We’ve had good moments and bad moments. We’ve had some good luck with W shooting themselves in the foot.
