Rutgers vs Massachusetts / Game Thread

[Rufaninga]

Whew

 

[Extra Point]

Carter settled down, he is playing good now.

 

[drewbagel423]

TD! Aaaaaand exhale

 

[Zachary.Peril]

Offense shows progress. Now D needs to show some

 

[soundcrib]

McLane Carter > Artur Sitkowski

 

[Saint Puppy]

Strong drive - this is what I expected against an inferior UMass D.

 

[Extra Point]

One bad play by Carter. The one missed pass to Pacheco was a nice ball.

 

[chase07470]

Folks, we have a QB. WTF with this defense? Why would Ash, in a make or break year, not take over the defense? Weird.

 

[Plum Street]

Hang in there folks. This could be the best comeback of the ash era. Even bigger than Howard’s in 2015.

 

[bac2therac]

All is well

Heres the deal playing a team like UMass you have to be aggressive on offense because you will simply overpower them

The defense seems to be atrocious...just make stops please

 

[eliminate2006]

Students showed up.

 

[greenknight]

Defense needs to get their heads out of their asses, playing very slow and out if position all over the place

 

[cohwx]

Carter looked pretty good on that drive.

 

[LadyRU09]

The crowd explodes when RU gets a 1st down.

Do we know he definitely isn't?

[devoted2ru]

Maybe....just MAYBE....RU had to shake off the jitters. (Hey, I'm searching for anything to latch onto that I can here.) -Guess we'll see....but I sure hope that was the cause of the disastrous start. (But hey, who the hell knows???)

 

[scarlet89]

At least the students are going bananas

Especially, since we looked OK last year when he Did call the D.

 

[scottydont]

Has the kickoff cameraman ever worked a football game before?

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

great drive by the o, besides the drop by pacheco, and the false start. Pacheco with the great job of picking up the blitz right after the drop. Would like to be a bit more aggressive on o

 

[pancakeman86]

Ash should queue "UMass is a good football team" speech

 

[Extra Point]

Will Rutgers deny Plumb Street of his Ash Smash post?

 

[RUSK97]

Davidovicz with two kickoffs resulting in touchbacks so far.

 

[chase07470]

Do we know he definitely isn't?

Yeah, he hired a big ticket DC who said he didn't come here to not cll the defense.

 

[Extra Point]

Can see our defense doesn't get a whole lot of push.

 

[newell138]

Another NJ kid comes back to show his mettle against RU. Their QB is a basketball player for God’s sake

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

LOL

Of course there is a flag on the play.

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

omg this team is so undisciplined

 

[FrankZ]

Lol

 

[newell138]

WTF

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Ash has absolutely no control of this team.

 

[scarlet_ty]

Are the refs from UMass?

 

[jay_hq]

undisciplined.

refs are aholes but u cant give them a chance to be one

 

[jim1666]

Honestly. The penalties on 3rd down are inexcusable.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Defense ... Damn it

 

[devoted2ru]

Well, we certainly seem to be racking up the penalties....again.

 

[Rufaninga]

Our D line has Zero pressure

 

[Saint Puppy]

Great - we aren't good to begin with talent wise.....and we play STUPID!!!!

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

We are getting toasted by a guy named Dingle FOR FRICK SAKE
