RUTGERS vs Maryland Game Thread :

[RUfromNJ]

Anyone who plays this game has a hospital visit in their future.

Or should consult a mortician.

 

[RU#1fan]

If they are blitzing so much, why not keep a blocking back in ?

Ummmmm. Because our OC is clueless.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Am I the only one who finds this analyst to be incredibly annoying?

 

[bac2therac]

absolutely pathetic

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

The only thing worse than our OL and defense are these announcers

 

[RUtix4me]

Call time out take a shot at the end zone!

 

[TonyLieske]

 

[soundcrib]

Chris Ash's face said it all.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

You should know better than to get into a serious debate with rutgersal. that one's on you.

lol it wasn't Al, actually, but it WAS a major Floodie.

 

[Abro1975]

Al Groh mystified how poor our blocking schemes are.

 

[Extra Point]

Didn't we have a time out? Use it, and then try and throw a pass into the end zone. Geeze.

 

[scarlet_ty]

Thankfully, it will all be over soon. On to 2017.

Can you blame them for calling out our oline? It's a wonder AJ Blazek gets a pass for such horrific work with the Oline.

"Hard to believe how the protection can be so lacking"

Indictment by a former head coach. Analysts are usually less openly critical.

 

[Knightmoves]

Most underforming RU FB team I have ever seen.

 

[G- RUnit]

Nice way to end the half! Can't blame talent there. Great clock management! All coaching!

 

[Rokodesh]

Coaches quit
Players quit
So why should anyone here still care?

 

[RUSK97]

Thankfully, it will all be over soon. On to 2017.

Amen, brother.

 

[RU in IM]

Call time out take a shot at the end zone!

This! Ash has a lot to learn. EVERY coach in college and NFL calls a timeout and takes a shot at the end zone.

 

[Abro1975]

It's basically an entire FCS coaching staff

 

[Knightmoves]

How can we sell tickets next season after watching the performance of this season ?

Much worse than I could ever imagine.

 

[zappaa]

Was that a try to get positive yards and kick a field goal?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Yes it was the coaching staff not blocking for Gio on that last play.

 

[BillyC80]

Coach gave up by not calling a time out, even if it's just to think about whether to run a play or just take a knee.

 

[zappaa]

Yes it was the coaching staff not blocking for Gio on that last play.

Since the OC knows they can't block, why call that play

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Was that a try to get positive yards and kick a field goal?

well, it was a "try"....

 

[RUfromNJ]

 

[Abro1975]

He didn't give up, he just doesn't know the end half process well enough yet. hey, he's learning.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Since the OC knows they can't block, why call that play

Actually I agree on that one!

Bottom line is they're going to blitz every single play they can, and we know it, so let's make a change at the half and see what happens.

 

[G- RUnit]

Throw into end zone? Pass interference? Please try or should we punt from the 30 again?

Coach quit on team?

 

[ddsmugs]

Needed to call timeout to show players Staff has not quit before half. Ash needs to have his stripe put back on.

 

[Extra Point]

We are only down by 14!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I need to lighten things up a bit:

 

[Abro1975]

Clock management under pressure not as easy as it appears. Especially with little experience.

 

[MADHAT1]

Iowa? REALLY? Yeah it was Ash' fault that Laviano didn't make a pitch a 2-year old could make. It was Ash' fault that Laviano didn't hit a wide-open Harris, twice, for TD's.

Illinois? TURNOVERS!!!

Nowhere did I "praise" this staff, btw, I just find the bashing to be ignorant and unrealistic at this point.

Blaming it all on Laviano?
How about how the play-calling that series of downs

1-G at Iowa03 Oden, Tylin rush for 1 yard to the IOWA2 (Nelson, Anthony;Johnson, Jaleel).
Ru 2-G at Iowa02 Oden, Tylin rush for no gain to the IOWA2 (Jewell, Josey;Snyder, Brandon).
Ru 3-G at Iowa02 Laviano, Chris rush for loss of 1 yard to the IOWA3 (Jewell, Josey;Hesse, Parker).
Ru 4-G at Iowa03 Timeout Rutgers, clock 02:10.
Ru 4-G at Iowa03 Laviano, Chris rush for 2 yards to the IOWA1 (Jewell, Josey).

 

[zappaa]

We are only down by 14!

Positivity :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::D

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Did Keith Lumpkin really mask how bad the OL was? Or are they just unable to understand the different blocking schemes for the power spread?

I put those 3 PLAYS (the pitch and the 2 horribly thrown balls to a wide-open Harris) on Laviano. Absolutely.

BTW - show me a single NFL OC who doesn't multiple make bad play calls every Sunday. EVERY, SINGLE, SUNDAY. Some of you people, I swear, you don't watch ANY football other than our games. I'm convinced!

(okay, just kidding, sorry...)

 

[Knightmoves]

Terrible OL play yet again.

 

[Extra Point]

Gio needs to bring his offensive linemen boxes of doughnuts. Then they would block for him better or else no more doughnuts for them!
