Rutgers vs Iowa / Game Thread

[runroyrun]

Shut this idiotic woman announcer up. And get Laviano out of the game--ESP if you're not gonna throw downfield.

 

[jvgrad02]

THIS OFFENSE IS PITIFUL, WE CANNOT GAIN ANY YARDS CONSISTENTLY. WE ARE IN FOR A LONG YEAR IF LAVIANO STAYS IN

 

[ru75]

Luckily Iowas qb is not very good, he's missed a bunch of throws. He has more ability to run tho.

some pressure today

 

[D1ESEL44]

If we lose grant than we need to find a way to run the ball more consistently. Lav can't do it.

I'm a Nit coming in peace. I've read criticism here about Leviano, and have to believe the majority of RU fans opinion because I don't follow Rutgers closely. I just watched part of the 3rd qtr, and Leviano looks fairly good. His arm isn't as strong as some others but he looked good to me.

I'm just learning the Pen State offense this year, and RU looks similar. My thinking about this offense though is that for the option to really work, the qb should also be a threat to run. I'd like to see the Penn State qb run more, and I think the RU offense would be more threatening with a running qb as an option as well. Just look at tOSU's offense the last several years...they all seemed to have had a qb who was a threat to run

 

[RUinOhio]

Not particularly quick either, but tough as nails.

He's made a few plays with his feet and is tough

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

This is beyond depressing to watch.

What does it take for Laviano to ride the bench.

That was his only decent drive all game... That is the highlight reel.

 

[brgRC90]

Time to start phasing laviano out...

 

[miketd1]

Was considering going to the Michigan.

Forget it.

Not sitting through that whipping.

Someone give him a fake id and $200

 

[Rokodesh]

Zero talent on offense besides Martin.

If defense or ST doesn't score we will be shutout

 

[D1ESEL44]

If we have any chance to win this game we will have to do it on the ground. Time to put in one of the running QBs

 

[zappaa]

Most boring offense in history, worse than last year

 

[kapyoche]

Grant in a cast is better than what we have out there.

 

[Knightmoves]

Not liking RU + 13 at this point.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Bottom line:

We have a major talent shortage in this roster. Anyone who doesn't believe it, or didn't see this coming, just fooling themselves.

 

[Blitz8RUCrazy]

Nice... Band playing

Uma Thurman by Fall Out Boy.

 

[eceres]

5 again.. sigh

 

[brgRC90]

Ok, time to start phasing laviano out........

 

[runroyrun]

No Laviano with my bourbon, please.

That said its 7-0 and RU had chances

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Laviano looks so scared running the option.

 

[ru75]

there is a pitch

he's our worst runner, but somehow the best passer. he throwas behind guys and puts too much air on long throws. not qb of future. has a low ceiling in this offense, so many want to take lumps wiyh qb that fits or has bigger upside.

 

[runroyrun]

Huge first own.

 

[RUTrack94]

Harris reminded of Sanu on that

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Yup. They're awful too lol.,,oh well let's go RU!

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Yes Chris power with your throwing shoulder first into a huge defender.

 

[RUinOhio]

RU bad field position all damn game.

 

[RUSK97]

Anyone seeing Laviano 'lateral' here should have no doubt he was the was the wrong player for that goalline play.

he is having a decent quarter

 

[RUTrack94]

Nice runs by Goodwin

 

[D1ESEL44]

Gotta a little momentum going here

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

YOU HAD IOWA REELING

KEEP THE OFFENSE GOING INTO THE FOURTH

Not a fan of just letting the clock run out.

 

[RUTrack94]

Proud of the team ... Close game in the B1G

 

[ru75]

Yes Chris power with your throwing shoulder first into a huge defender.

must read the posts saying he plays soft

 

[RUaMoose]

Miami fans wouldnt.

Underachieving at UM didn't start nor end with Golden. There were/are many other factors at work there

 

[D1ESEL44]

One possession game going into the 4th.

Gotta say I wasn't predicting that. I put Iowa in the same tier as Wisky. After gettin whooped 2 years in a row by Wisky, I thought this was going to be a blowout.

 

[RUSK97]

Gra

Grant in a cast is better than what we have out there.

Grant's phenomenal but he's not Teddy Bridgewater

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

YOU HAD HIM WIDE OPEN FOR A TOUCHDOWN AHAHAHA
