Did we just score or did I fall asleep and have a dream?
Yeah this is a dilemma. I hate PSU but Michigan is becoming more of a recruiting problem. And OSU is the only team I think can take on Alabama.
Funny we "competed" with both Iowa (8-4) and Minnesota (8-3) this year. I guess you missed those games? There is a huge talent gap, and we do lack athleticism - it was shockingly noticeable against PSU/MSU/OSU/Mich/Wash - if you can't see it I don't know what to tell you.
wait we dont have any talent, how did we compete..you cant have it both ways. Its a combination of everything Madhat posted
Id say it was more Minnesota having no film on Gio. Iowa got better as the year progressed if you checked out yesterdays score, Id say they overlooked RU a little
Our LBs are so slow they don't even touch rbs one on one.
If you've been following my posts I've made it very clear that the talent discrepancy rears its ugly head against specific teams (see: OSU/Mich/MSU/PSu/Wash) which is why all goes to hell in those games. Versus Iowa Laviano shit the bed. Versus Illinois we turned the ball over 5 times. We went head-to-head with Minny. That, to me, proves the staff isn't far off. It's the other games where people are bitching about coaching that I disagree wholeheartedly. The talent disparity is stunning.
For Rutgers the green FG target line overlay is the same as the goal line.
Guys i take everything back, i was clearly overreacting to a slow start. We are still totally in the game and have a completely legitimate chance of winning.
If the leaders of next year's team can't get the roster fired-up to play, from play #1, Ash might need to bring a shrink in because something just doesn't make sense.
So RU has enough talent to compete, Ash just doesn't know how pull out wins against the Iowa and Minnesota's . Illinois is another school that supposedly lacks talent, but their HC found a way to win against Rutgers.
Indiana isn't a powerhouse, but was good enough to beat RU in a close game. The powerhouses mauled RU like they did in the Flood years.
Ash deserves a mulligan for this season, not praise because he lost some close games.
Some of those games might have been lost because of poor coaching decisions.
Believe in Ash all you want, but don't expect the same blind faith that most RU fans had at the beginning of this season to continue after seeing the product Ash puts on the field every game.
No ST, I get it. But speed doesn't put two potential tacklers completely out of the way in a position to make absolutely no tackles. I guess it's too much to ask for coaching from Okruch.
Honestly I'm not convinced Cintron could execute it properly. The ball would probably go 15 yards at best off the side of his foot.
Rutgers has to go for it on 4th and 7. Our special team play is very poor. Maryland has the ball back to where we kicked from.
