Rutgers vs Illinois / Game Thread

[mikebal9]

Hey, we ran just as effectively with Bolin. Maybe it wasn't Too. Maybe it was Illinois terrible defense.

Just watch, unless we intercept a pass, they'll score again and we'll have to endure the onside kick.

I'm no huge fan of Jerry Kill but we handled the 4th quarter perfectly. Game never in doubt and OLine did its job.

My first game thread of the year. A treat to see every play call challenged. We run too much! We pass too much! Hilarious!

Welcome to hell

 

[BHSPCRU]

We did what we had to do let’s celebrate the won and worry about injuries etc.... tomorrow

Nice win for Rutgers. Congrats to the coaching staff on their 1st B10 win.

 

[Scarlet Craig]

Ball game. Gotta give them credit. It's like watching paint dry, but today it worked.

Scoring 35 is like watching paint dry? I'll take it every week.

Finally a BIG win. Even though Illinois isnt good Ill take it[banana]

 

[RUsince52]

Short pass, 3rd and one and the receiver is open by 10 yards.

 

[RUSK97]

The hlding by the Ill oline is atrocious.

 

[mildone]

Our secondary looks beat up right now. Lots of limping around after plays.

 

[RUsince52]

This is down right disgusting at the end. This is p poor coaching.

That's because it is.

Happy with (what looks like) a win, but we could have destroyed Illinois.

Quick - what're the Powerball jackpot numbers?!??

While the OL and RBs and Gio were great, I might have to give my game MVP to Juwaun Harris in his first start ever on defense, at safety, coming up with 10 tackles, an INT and a forced fumble. Helluva debut.

This is down right disgusting at the end. This is p poor coaching.

Agree Ash not showing much of his OSU D back ground

 

[RUsince52]

Our D backs look like their not trying even though we get no pressure at all.

 

[Scarlet Craig]

Agree Ash not showing much of his OSU D back ground

Give him 8 4-5 star players to choose from and you would. Sheesh.

 

[ru66]

some around here are unbearable--geez be happy--remember some of our "experts" predicted a loss

 

[RU848789]

Nice touch letting Gio run the victory formation kneel-downs at the end. Also nice to see he's not on crutches or anything. Hope he's ok for next week.

 

[RUsince52]

OK, another win for us. Yea, Yea, Yea.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

We win! Been two years since we could say that in conference, and now we don't have the longest streak in the country.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

We won!!!!

 

[TonyLieske]

LOL
Comments from the board after we run on 1st down.....'Why do we run, run, pass"
Comments from the board after we pass on 1st down..... :Why did we pass on 1st down"

too funny

"The board" isn't a single entity. Different folks have different opinions. Even though it didn't connect I thought the pass on first down was the right call. Makes the defense think a bit before rushing the RB.

 

[rurichdog]

We're not the worst!
We're not the worst!
We're not the worst!
Lol

 

[TM514]

Will 5-7 be good enough for bowl this year?

 

[njdirt]

Give him 8 4-5 star players to choose from and you would. Sheesh.

Yea But can do better with the players he has than that

 

[PSUriseANDfire]

You guys definitely looked good today.

 

[RU848789]

274 yards rushing and Blackshear with 6 for 87 for 14.5 ypc. Nice.

F ing Ash, having Gio kneel down and Gio with a bad knee! Ash can't even get the V formation right.

:)

 

[BHSPCRU]

I tell my kids when I coach a w is a w..... we will worry about working on things at practice... now we celebrate what we did correct to win....

#GiosMom!!!

I'm sure there would be a line for that :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[mildone]

Hang out a few more times--you'll be doing it, too.

Not me. I'm the game-thread yes-man.

 

[mildone]

That's because it is.

Well yeah, we're playing with 3/4s of our starters. But I mean even the backups look pretty beat up now. Gonna be a lot of players spending extra time in the training room this weak, I think.
