Rutgers vs Eastern Michigan / Game Thread

No one is giving up. But this is about as entertaining as sitting on the wrong end of a broomstick.

It's worse sitting here at the game

We were all upset with Niemann's playcalling on defense last year. Now, it seems he's the only coach who is actually coaching these days.

 

[Garybredow]

Instead of football, maybe Kyle should try 'Bowlin'
Keeps the ball on the ground rolling, doesn't have to run at all. Could be his sport.

 

[RUTGERSCHEWY]

I don't expect to be good at this point in the rebuilding project , but this football is brutal to watch. I find that disappointing.

 

[So.RiverRat]

The halftime speech by CA better have had some fire to it.

 

[RUinPAC10land]

Wow, I thought Bolin's knee was down. RU is getting a lot of breaks this game.

You mean like the no call when the defender was draped all over Washington?

If this were the debates, Trump would be calling him "Mr Low Energy"

Which end would that be?

 

[rucoe89]

Just got in. Are we really as bad as score indicates? Was very afraid we would have letdown. Just way too much positivity all week.

Thankfully, it's not. Speaking of embarrassing.....

Which is the wrong end? To me they're both unpleasant, but it seems the bristle end would hurt more.

 

[drewbagel423]

Did we actually get worse from last year? How is that even possible?

I was thinking about the missed targeting call on RU, non run by the EMU punter, three or four drops by EMU and EMU confusion on one offensive play.

 

[RUaMoose]

I figured we'd be down 7 or 10 going into the 4th q and pull it out with two TDs and I'm sticking to that prediction. 27-21 was my prediction. The ppl that were calling 45-7 RU are delusional

you have a defensive minded HC , that's way risks are kept to a minimum.
But until Ash has full confidence the O can move the chains on 4th and one, expect punt .
Don't agree with punting inside 40, but expect it ( from Ash) because RU's O isn't dominating.
Reminds me of when RU's D kept RU in the game and the O was expected to do just enough to win.
In the first half the RU O wasn't showing it could do that.

 

[miketd1]

Hmm. Both ends of a stick are unpleasant lol.

I had 42-23, don't look like that will happen , but the RU O might start to show more than it did and pull ahead since RU's only down by 7 despite having a poor offensive performance the first half.

I don't recall us playing worse than this.

 

[colbert17]

The beat part of the day isn't the teams performance, it's the bands performance. Smh

Who would have thought you would ever see this post?

 

[Rutgers Man 22]

60 yard punt by the QB. Didn't realize George Blanda was on EMU

 

[miketd1]

Their QB is a better punter than QB.

Wow.

 

[hbbsm713]

Ok. If they take Martin, I'm going to lose my mind

 

[Rutgers1982]

Gee their QB punted and we were surprised again

 

[Rufaninga]

O line starting to make some holes!

 

[PurpleR]

Thank god Martin, each of the last two years we have had to pretend we had better running backs than Martin and Hicks, we don't.

 

[Rufaninga]

Martin with the stiffy!

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

martin is a beast he should have been playing every game last year. He should start.

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

Martin with the stiffy!

He didn't seem that exited about the run, did he?

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Pound and Ground!

 

[drewbagel423]

Gee their QB punted and we were surprised again

even though they showed us they were going to do it a few drives ago. It's like this staff has never watched a game before

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Ground and Pound as well

 

[AntiG]

Thank god Martin, each of the last two years we have had to pretend we had better running backs than Martin and Hicks, we don't.

never understood this too... both of them proved that they were flat out stud backs 2 years ago.

 

[hbbsm713]

Why the hell was Lewis put in right there???

 

[scarlet_ty]

Why Ash why? Urgggh!!

 

[redking]

Chuck Long said to run outside back in the first quarter. Why'd it take Jerry Kill so long?

 

[newell138]

Good god what a drive killer

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Field goal is good

 

[hbbsm713]

Definitely questioning the coaches right now
