Rutgers vs Army - Game Thread

Hicks!!!

 

[Block R]

Hicks INT

Wow

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Yep, first quarter I believe.

Wasn't home in time to see that one. Was it a gift? We don't get to the fumble scrambles.

 

[RU848789]

Wow, Hicks! INT and a fumble recovery (although he's missed a few tackles too)...

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

HICKS with a interception in the endzone!

 

[RUSK97]

How come we never throw to Hicks on offense?

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

That safety has good hands, we should play him on offense.

 

[RM60]

Flood must go.

 

[RU Mike73]

Nice play by Hicks. Int. Takes an offensive player to make defensive play.

 

[BeantownKnight]

Hicks, in his first play as a defensive back, knows to turn around and play the ball. Why can't our other defensive backs do that?

 

[ngrant]

I take it back about Hicks!!!

Have to say that was my first thought too.

No he did the wrong technique, he hasn't been coached yet to know not to look for the ball

 

[LadyRU09]

Sweet!

And look at all those cadets with polar bear hats.

 

[RUSK97]

Hicks as a matter of fact.

 

[ScarletStateofNJ]

If Flood was cool, he'd let Hick carry the ball on this drive.

 

[brodo]

Hicks with the Pick!

That safety has good hands, we should play him on offense.

I bet he has a good arm, too. Let's get him in as QB.

 

[bac2therac]

Fudd's whole philosophy is why this game got so close .even a win is further prove he needs to be canned

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Time to milk that clock...

 

[RobertG]

time?

 

[brodo]

5:22 left

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

2:28 left...

 

[RUSK97]

He's got some wheels too. I think we should try that safety at RB.

 

[Caliknight]

That would take creativity. It isn't meathead football. He is a RUNNINGback, that means he has to run the ball, not catch it.

It's sort of like declaring you need to name your starting QB, then playing him no matter how awful he is. Meathead football 101.

Bac, this is dumb. A win is proof he should be canned? A loss would be proof he should be canned. Did we have to win by 30 for it not to be proof he should be canned?

The refs had a play go to the replay booth. Both Carlin and Lucas thought it was a waste of time. After the call was confirmed, Ray Lucas said, "Even Helen Keller could have seen that." He quickly apologized for the comment.

Lucas is one of the worst analysts ever. All he does is talk about himself and criticize the RU players and the refs. Offers no meaningful analysis. I'm listening on the radio today because there's no TV out here for this game.

Taught not to. Obviously he hasn't had much time to accept Rossi's coaching, so he does it the right way.

Sounds like he should be posting to this board.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

It is on CBSsports Network.

I love him because he one of us... For better or worse.

I completely disagree. Ray makes the broadcast entertaining. But, to each his (or her) own

The things I saw in the game to me shows me why he isnt successful...whether its the vanilla playcalling or a bad secondary. .this is freaking Army and they are terrible yet today was pretty lackluster

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

QB sneak works... That is one thing he is actually quite good at.

 

[Plum Street]

This was a close game and it wasn't sealed until Laviano's sneak with 2 minutes left . Still embarrassing . Flood's duds

 

[Caliknight]

Anyone listening to Ray Lucas, on an RU broadcast, expecting him to be anything but an RU homer, is smoking trees.

 

[brodo]

Carlin said he would be tempted to go for it on 4th and 1. Lucas agreed. Then RU got the 1st down.

 

[RobertG]

Not to defend this game but Army only had 1 blow out loss to Duke 44-3. They lost to Airforce by 17 and the rest of the losses 7 or below.
