Rutgers vs Iowa / Game Thread

[theRU]

Harris was in the right trail position. Laviano should have pitched it, but the truth is Laviano should have never been put in a bad situation.

he def wasn't trailing

 

[miketd1]

I still believe in Ash, but another staff probably could have put points up.

 

[MS-RU]

Why are people surprised about Laviano having no awareness and making the wrong decision?? It's been his M.O. since day 1 but unfortunately we have dumbass coaches who enable it every week so nothing is going to change until our coaches get their heads out of their asses.

 

[Rutgersnj201]

Blaming this on drew and ash??? It was a gutsy call and I liked it. Lavinaio should have pitched it but he didn't.

 

[ArminRU]

He sucks. Golden would have been a million times better. This guy will be learning on the job the next 3 years

[roll] Golden

Wait, being up 3-0 is unacceptable to Ash, but being down 0-7 is good enough to just take a knee?

Come on, if they put the ball up and it turns into a pick 6 what would you have said? Let me guess, take a knee right?

 

[Jinpa88]

The first half miscues are all on the coaches, if you ask me. Odin should not have been in on that 2nd goal line series. Martin':me had success, up to that point. I give Laviano a pass, his throwing has been bad but he's made some good decision with his feet.

Re. Grant... sucks but next man up. Harris, Goodwin? Let's get 'er done!!!

 

[Rutgers Man 22]

If you told me down 7-0 at half, considering our 1st quarter woes, I would have signed up for it.

It's just that, of every way and at any time they could have scored their 7 points, this was the absolute worst (99 yard drive, right before half, take all the momentum).

It's bittersweet

 

[RU89]

We're only down 7, no way you can complain about that! Let's get it in 2nd half!

Yes you can complain. Our defense was playing great and grant got us down to the 3 yard line then our coaching failed us hugely!!!!!!!! Took wind right out of the sails of our team and gave instant momentum to Iowa. Should be winning this game not happy being down by seven.

Coaching staff really dropping the ball today.

Laviano with an absolutely awful game. Today he can't make any throws, he can't run, he can't make the correct decision on what should've been an easy pitch for a TD. Sorry I know he's a college kid, but this guy absolutely sucks.

seems like they're trolling us, throwing oden out there just to give him the jabu treatment not letting him throw. Cmonnnn Ash

Harris was in the right trail position. Laviano should have pitched it, but the truth is Laviano should have never been playing football for a D1 program.

I prefer to think he is developing him slowly, building confidence

 

[Metropolitans3]

What was worse, The ball he sailed over Harris in the first red zone visit or the lack of a pitch?

 

[RUaMoose]

It's 7 to 0 at the half in a game most of us thought was going to be a beat down. I'm ok with it.

They lost to a 1-aa team at home last week so no, I wasn't expecting a beat down

 

[anvilofstars]

Hate the goal line play. Give one QB all 4 downs.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

What was worse, The ball he sailed over Harris in the first red zone visit or the lack of a pitch?

Harris because he had time, and just didn't step into the throw.

On paper it wasn't a highly difficult throw for a marginal QB to make.

 

[JQRU91]

Should play Oden in the 2nd half. Laviano's shown nothing this game. All of his passes have gone to Grant and Grant may be out of the game now.

 

[RutgersB1G]

It's very hard to believe in Ash right now. He looks like a disciple of Terry Shea.

 

[BigGreenWood]

Ugh. Being down 7-0 as opposed to 7-3 just stings. Would have been nice to get points on that red zone possession considering they are at a premium in this one

 

[ru75]

It's very hard to believe in Ash right now. He looks like a disciple of Terry Shea.

except he is a new head coach, cut him some slack, really

 

[RutgersB1G]

Need to take the FG here.

except he is a new head coach, cut him some slack, really

Valid point.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

WE GOT THE BALL INTO THE ENDZONE

 

[MikeR0102]

Good job refs

 

[jreinsdorf]

whew

 

[ru75]

phew

 

[MikeR0102]

Iowa the dirtiest team in the league

 

[Caliknight]

Like Ash's style. Lav should have pitched it.

 

[Knightmoves]

Like Ash's style. Lav should have pitched it.

Agree. It's a TD if he pitches it.

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

Like Ash's style. Lav should have pitched it.

And he should sit on the bench,but...

 

[Ru0822]

This team looks dead after the grant injury

 

[RUeric]

That chop was dirty AF

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Cioffi with another two hand touch tackle.

 

[Knightmoves]

Our defense looks tired.

 

[miketd1]

No screen alert..?

 

[Blitz8RUCrazy]

our front 7 is whiffing

 

[jvgrad02]

CAN ANYONE FREAKING F*CK*NG TACKLE!!!

 

[RUSK97]

Iowa made adjustments.

 

[RUaMoose]

Ash's amateur hour coaching has totally demoralized the troops. I expect Iowa to run away and hide

 

[ru75]

holes are huge

 

[jlariv9]

Wtf d line
