Rutgers vs Penn State / Game Thread

[ScarletStateofNJ]

I love the QB rotation. PSU will have no idea which RU QB will be high fiving the punter as the offense shuffles off the field on the three-and-outs

 

[ATIOH]

I get that the cupboard is bare, but is it that hard to get 11 players on the field... on offense... after a change of possession?

 

[Extra Point]

We need a new OC right away. To me it seems like he doesn't have the type of players he wants so he doesn't do anything. Our OC is a downgrade from what we had last year.

 

[tico brown]

Big stop by Rutgers D.

FWIW, Millen is saying great things about Austin and Wharton.

 

[rutgers4life11]

every single time we get momentum, this coaching staff proves their inexperience with some bonehead move. How are we not ready to run a play after a turnover of downs?

 

[miketd1]

I don't get it. 1st and 5 out of our end zone. Why not Oden here..!?

 

[kjb32812]

Rutgers can make a contribution to the Big Ten by upsetting this weak sauce Penn State team. they're just not in the same league as ohio state or michigan and would kill the conference play off chances.

If nothing else you're consistent.

We may not have any talent on the field but this coaching staff has not shown any on the sidelines either.

 

[scarlet_ty]

Gio you had it! Ugh

 

[Block R]

Oden running with momentum and what do they do, take him out on 3rd & 3???

STUPID DECISION

Mehringer gets too cute at times. Doesn't want to telegraph 3rd down run by leaving Oden in, brings back Gio for designed run on his bad hammy and fails. PSU weren't stopping Oden previously and they know he's almost certainly running the ball so why not keep running him until they prove they can make the stop?

 

[rurichdog]

Gio tapdancing hurts his hammy again

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

WTF PUNT!?!?!.!.

Ugh...

 

[scottydont]

Jesus.

 

[dieselkeane]

Gio was afraid to take the hit

 

[RUTrack94]

Ouch on that punt ... Didn't the PSU kick 50 yards into the win ... Geez.

 

[Rutgersnj201]

Jon Lewis is in the stands we need him in now!!

 

[RUSK97]

We don't have the talent for that.

 

[jerseyjustin]

Penn State is completely molesting us yards-wise.

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

We need a new OC right away. To me it seems like he doesn't have the type of players he wants so he doesn't do anything. Our OC is a downgrade from the wild knight.

FIFY

 

[RUTrack94]

Hate to say it ... Need to late hit the QB to take him out

 

[bethlehemfan]

All the gio bad personnel thinking mfers. Clowns. Admit it.

 

[MikeR0102]

Not gonna score, unless we get a turnover

 

[RUTrack94]

PSU helping us out

 

[scarlet_ty]

Gio was afraid to take the hit

This. He had the 1st down...wtf

 

[brgRC90]

If nothing else you're consistent.

And correct. even Penn state fans have to admit your team is not top 10 caliber. a terrible msu was crushing us by now.

 

[rutgers4life11]

What defense can consistently play well with such ****ing awful punting and when your offense is 3 and out every series. We'd be winning this game with a capable OC and special teams coordinator.

Half the guys on this message board could punt further than this guy.

I just feel bad for the defense which is playing their hearts out.

 

[Bleed_Scarlet]

I miss this Schiano teams that knocked out the opposing qbs

Of course, the back ups usually killed us

 

[CERU00]

Translation??

 

[RUBand]

I don't get it. 1st and 5 out of our end zone. Why not Oden here..!?

Not a good time until he gets more experience

 

[bethlehemfan]

Translation??

He's no better than the other guy. Pretty obvious

 

[TonyVolt]

Drew's play calling is extremely frustrating.

 

[scarlet_ty]

PSU helping us out

Too bad we can never take advantage.

 

[kjb32812]

You mean the same MSU that OSU beat by one today after Dantonio made the bone call play of the year? That MSU?

How about UM? Are they the UM that lost to an Iowa team that we absolutely curb stomped?

 

[Block R]

He's no better than the other guy. Pretty obvious

Which other guy? Laviano?

 

[bossnj1]

Thankfully the basketball team is looking much better this season. At least there is some marginal hope there. This team is just very hard to watch right now. Need some reason to hope for the future, please..

 

[LevaosLectures]

I'm ready for some Laviano

 

[RUTrack94]

The one year RU started 1-5 ... Freaking killed the QBs like 5 games in a row and crushed Pitt. Need that tenacity again.

 

[miketd1]

Can't tell if serious.

I put in the running QB in an obvious running like down that.

 

[brgRC90]

Can anyone on our team catch a football?

 

[MikeR0102]

Cioffi could have taken that to the house
