Rutgers vs Indiana / Game Thread

[MYHATINTHERING]

D line is decent. Linebackers and safeties....not so much.

only looks that way because of the type of O IU runs.

 

[TdollazNJ]

Linebackers make the tackle 7 yards down the field. Tfl from a linebacker? Never..

 

[kcg88]

Can we stop them ONCE on third down?

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Let's see if Ash has half a brain and sends heat on the right side of the line after Indiana loses their starting RT.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

4 for 4 on 3rd conversions and the right side of the D was bunched inside. wtf is going on in practice??????

F*ck it dline is cheeks as well. Lol

 

[bethlehemfan]

D is gassed already lol.

 

[scarletrat]

Indiana has us where they want us. 3rd down.

Combo of bad coaching and poor recruiting, hence missed tackles even when in position.

 

[RutgersROB]

4/4 on 3rd down so far

Why would you do that? We’re not trying to win a game or anything.

 

[ClassOf02]

Likely doesn't matter, but it really is amazing how this league never calls offensive holding.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

touchdown, will get called that way

 

[Rufaninga]

why run it out if endzone when you are covered???

 

[Rutgers25]

They will reverse that call

I'm going with coaching. What would Buffalo coaches do with this same talent?

 

[RUeric]

Looks like a TD to me. Definitely not a fumble. Even if they spot at the 1, Indiana will probably run it in on 4th.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

What is really amazing is that Ash hasn't relayed that to Blazek and tells him to teach the OL to get a bit more grabby.

Joe Nolan: Rutgers 7
Illinois 7

Classic!!!

 

[RutHut]

IU 7 for 7 on third down.counting penalties.

 

[jay_hq]

Not that it matters because it will be ruled a td,

But why didnt that rutgers kid take a knee? Terrible coaching.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Unfortunately, that looked like a TD to me where he broke the plane and the ground caused the fumble. I'd think it would be reversed unless they show him losing control before that.

 

[jordkap]

touchdown, will get called that way

Looked like a TD to me too

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

As defenses go, this might be the worst I’ve seen as a Rutgers fan. The 2016 defense even had some good performances; 2010 got gashed a few times, but also kept our terrible offense in some games.

 

[RUsince52]

Regardless of the call, you should have control of the ball crossing the goal line, including having it knocked out of your hand.

 

[TheKidFromRahway]

The tackling is beyond pathetic

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Expert "I don't know how they can overturn this"

Cue the refs giving Indiana the TD

 

[RutgersROB]

Not enough to overturn this

 

[TdollazNJ]

Not enough visual evidence. Confirm this. Please

 

[RUboston]

Looks like a TD.

 

[RUsince52]

Of course !!!

 

[rutgersguy1]

So 4th down at .5 yard line. I think that's fair too.

 

[RUboston]

If Indiana goes for it, they can walk right in.

 

[NickRU714]

That BTN guy was a moron. It was either down by contact or a TD obviously.

 

[RutgersROB]

Wow weird call...they couldn’t tell but still overturn

 

[rutgersguy1]

Oh man just barely made that.

 

[TdollazNJ]

He's down!

 

[Rufaninga]

our D sucks

 

[RUboston]

Well, didn't walk right in. Tverdov with good effort.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

He was down, but they'll give Indiana the TD

 

[rutgersguy1]

The tip could have barely crossed the beginning of the white strip but angle isn't definitive.
