Rutgers vs Illinois / Game Thread

[Block R]

Why the hell are we throwing on first down

Oh c'mon. Like run, run, pass on 3rd and long was working.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Blackshear!!!!

 

[RU848789]

Prevent offense.

 

[Caliknight]

Blackshear is so legit.

 

[mildone]

Blackshear. Yes!

 

[jonS]

Bolin has got to be one of the most inaccurate downfield passers I've ever seen

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

What a run!!!

 

[RUBand]

What a run!!!!!

 

[j10oreo]

Back to thinking it's really tough to watch Bolin throw.

 

[njdirt]

blackshear nice run

 

[RU848789]

Wow, does Blackshear have some moves without losing much speed.

 

[Plum Street]

Just run it 3 times and kick fg

 

[koleszar]

Why the hell are we throwing on first down

Because they're stacking the box expecting the run. It was wide open he just overthrew it.

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

 

[RU848789]

Blackshear is so legit.

I've heard he's dirty and full of stain...

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Just run it 3 times and score touchdown

FYP

That last play exposes our lack of confidence in our QB and WRs. We had a WR isolated one on one. Gotta throw that to the corner of the endzone.

 

[R U Crazy]

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

 

[rurichdog]

I feel bad for Gio. Had another solid performance before his knees crapped out again.

 

[RUsince52]

I question Blackshear's vision in the open. That's twice today. Just use your speed and don't worry about running people over.

It's an emotional roller coaster in here. Some good insights, a lot of stupidity (my own included) but in the end, we're all just pulling for our team.

 

[Caliknight]

You use the run to set up the pass. When they are stacking the box forget the run. It served its purpose.

They have zero confidence in the QBs. Are they expecting to compete with this type of mindset against other teams?

 

[Plum Street]

Throw it and go for the kill? Or run it and take the clock down? I say we run it

 

[mildone]

Boom

 

[RUfromNJ]

Ballgame

 

[RUSK97]

I've heard he's dirty and full of stain...

Lol, WTF does that even mean?!?

 

[Rufaninga]

Boom!

 

[koleszar]

Phew! Nice call, TD.

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

 

[RU848789]

FYP

Nice!

 

[Plum Street]

Martin seAls it !

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!

 

[rurichdog]

*applause*

 

[njdirt]

MARTIN TD

 

[RU848789]

I think we're gonna be one and oh this week...

 

[Caliknight]

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

 

[TheRacRU]

It's nice to win.

 

[Abro1975]

Sack time coming up

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Martin, Hicks, Edwards and Blackshear all with at least one TD. Can't wait till our wides get into the end zone, but I'll take it for now.

 

[mildone]

So why was Lewis limping when he was in?
