Rutgers vs Iowa / Game Thread

[AreYouNUTS]

My Lord Laviano..,SMH

 

[njxchange]

This is actually not an exaggeration. Statistically he is in the bottom 10, correct? From the eye test, he's the worst.

I miss Gary Nova... He would have hit Harris for TD at this point of the game

 

[ruready4somefootball]

Amazing we can even run the ball this good, with no consistent passing attack. I see a QB switch if this keeps up before half time.

 

[zappaa]

They keep trotting #5 out there.
It's incredible

 

[17Q66]

Inside the 8 and we punt. That's how bad the QB play has been...

Those things are unrelated.

 

[billhilf]

Only hope is turnovers and running TDs.

 

[njxchange]

doesnt Rettig have better arm than Laviano?
doesnt rest of QBs have better leg than Laviano?
........................
Laviano cant do either.
great leader, I guess is the most important thing in Rutgers Football

How long before Ash loses the fan base because of this?

Cue the: "The coaches know who the best QB is or they wouldn't put him out there." responses.

 

[RUpop]

It sure looks like we can run right up the gut against them.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Harris is a speedster and you rely on him to block on the smoke screen?

Let Agudosi do it.

 

[redking]

Terrible play call. Iowa D saw that coming all day.

 

[Ru0822]

That was a pathetic block by harris

 

[njxchange]

If it's not low pass, He gets 1st down

 

[jeffro5]

Laviano is a tough dude hanging in on that hit.

 

[RUpop]

Here's a positive note, we haven't given up any points in the 1st qtr...so far.

 

[theRU]

That was a pathetic block by harris

exactly

 

[redking]

Laviano showed moxie taking that hit but what's the point if he doesn't make an accurate throw... ?

 

[brgRC90]

We're dead in the water if our qb can only complete passes at or behind the los.

 

[MikeR0102]

3 and out. Good job D.

 

[RUfromNJ]

D has been strong in the early going

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

He looked for the ball!

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Good job by the defense

 

[theRU]

Laviano is a tough dude hanging in on that hit.

but he didn't really... if he hung in there its a first down. Instead he half hung in... took a hit and didn't even get anything for it. Its the worst of all the outcomes.

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

Thank heaven for Martin..

 

[Caliknight]

I wouldn't say that. Almost always yes. That play he got straight trucked. No one touched the guy.

 

[brgRC90]

I can't help note how much better our o line is at making holes for rbs now that Elmer fludd is gone...

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

I wouldn't say that. Almost always yes. That play he got straight trucked. No one touched the guy.

Maybe the OL realized that was their best shot to get a better qb in the game

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Nice run by Martin.

It is amazing that we have a run game without a pass threat.

 

[theRU]

I wouldn't say that. Almost always yes. That play he got straight trucked. No one touched the guy.

i know he took the hit.. not debating that. but he definately short armed it and didn't get an accurate pass to the wr.

 

[njxchange]

Honestly, if we had a good QB, this offense could be dangerous with Martin and Grant

 

[Wutevah]

Laviano is def taking hits, for me I don't think he's so much afraid of getting hit, but instead of turning the ball over.

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

I can't help note how much better our o line is at making holes for rbs now that Elmer fludd is gone...

But but Elmer is an OL coach

 

[MikeR0102]

very good punt.

 

[redking]

Some contact on that 3rd down play, but the throw wasn't accurate enough for the refs to consider pass interference.

 

[njxchange]

awful awful throw

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Poor throw but the TE was totally impeded trying to get to the ball.

 

[RUwoz]

Laviano isn't great but holy hell the OL is 100x worse than #5

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

Poor throw but the TE was totally impeded trying to get to the ball.

The throw was so poor, it wouldn't have mattered

 

[zappaa]

Laviano isn't great but holy hell the OL is 100x worse than #5

Lol

 

[miketd1]

Those things are unrelated.

Illegal block downfield bc the ball should have been out earlier.

Followed that by a bad sack.

We can disagree.

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

Laviano 4/8 22 yards under 3 an attempt

That's about normal

 

[cRURah]

Ash acting very Flood-like with Number 5.

 

[Ru0822]

Our run D isn't that bad, but the inability to get a pass rush is beyond awful
