Their defense puts enormous pressure on the other team that forces mistakes. No one plays perfect football. And this is the problem with the offense Schiano is trying to run. He is trying to minimize some mistakes, but against good teams, or good defenses, he is exposing the team to lots of different types of mistakes and turnovers. The way he is running his offense will not work against the mid to upper half of the Big10.Their defense didn’t force our QB to throw into obvious double coverage or force our WR to tuck the ball with the wrong arm. That’s entirely on RU.

You always laugh at the no turnover mantra and dismiss the importance of turnovers but it’s TRUE! You can’t turn the ball over or you lose most of the time. As soon as we turned it over we were done unless we took it back and we didn’t . So yes you will here the coach talk about and he should , we need to protect the ball. Simple concept !We lost because we are not quite a big ten program yet, across the board, starting at QB.

That's been an issue I've noticed with him before. It's one that bears watching in the next few games.I gotta say I despise youngblood. Simons turnover was bad but youngbloods was ten times worse. He was carrying the ball in the wrong arm. That's such a simple thing to do.
It does stink… The staff elected to try and make a bowl game and thought that was the better decision long term for the program. Was it the right one? Not sure..Its too bad Simon didn't have a chance to grow up last season
Greg said after the game that when Noah and GW return it will still be QB committee along with Simon.It does stink… The staff elected to try and make a bowl game and thought that was the better decision long term for the program. Was it the right one? Not sure..
I guess the good thing with the injuries is that there is no option for the staff to flub this year in developing one of the young guys (turns out fate picked Simon) by having the carousel continue. All along I wanted them to roll with ONE of either of Simon or Gavin this year and just deal with the pains that come with the experience and development.
The third TD was the gift of pass interference on an uncatchable third down throw.Against us, their offense is credited with 13 points. That’s very beatable if you don’t hurt yourself with stupid mistakes.
When… I don’t think they will be back for awhile.Greg said after the game that when Noah and GW return it will still be QB committee along with Simon.
QB tryouts could last the entire season. Langan isn’t out of the competition either.
I mean this...what more can be said really?I don’t know how anyone can say we didn’t lose this game because of TOs - that’s a ridiculous statement. And it’s not the TOs per se, it’s the fact that they went for an immediate 14 points. It’s extremely rare to have two back to back TOs that result in 14 points without the D even getting on the field. It clearly changed the entire complexion of the game. I mean Iowa only scored 13 points on offense. To say we couldn’t have won without the TOs is a silly statement.
You could tell that by the 4 games he played? You must be a qb whispererSimon will never grow up. He doesn't have the instincts to be a good QB.
Its true we have to avoid turnovers, but not at the expense of throwing the ball down field. Run-run-throw it out of bounds isn't going to get a win either. Need to have a game plan like today, but execute better. And when we throw a long INT, we have to get the defender on the ground and make their offense earn the points.You always laugh at the no turnover mantra and dismiss the importance of turnovers but it’s TRUE! You can’t turn the ball over or you lose most of the time. As soon as we turned it over we were done unless we took it back and we didn’t .

No kidding. We needed to play our 23 year always injured QB who hit his ceiling 3 years ago.Its too bad Simon didn't have a chance to grow up last season
Most teams don’t overcome a -3 on turnovers and win the game. And especially if you’re RU’s offense which is still not completely overhauled yet.Turnovers are an important stat but they are enormous for a Schiano offense. His entire offensive philosophy is based off of not turning the ball over. As soon as we do and the other team scores, it's worth 3x the points. Schiano looks at offense as a way to rest his defense. He doesn't look at it as a way to win games.
On paper we won this game. Almost every stat was in Rutgers favor. Except turnovers. Other teams can overcome that but we aren't close. The team can only win one way and that's with D, working clock, getting first downs and a few points when we can.
I liked what I saw from Simon but he's going to get killed if the OL doesn't protect better. No way he finishes the season taking hits like that constantly.
Except Iowa last year did exactly that.Correct.... You can't win in this conference without a serious stud quarterback, which is the most important position on the team and one that is continually mismanaged by GS.
Did you think that for Nova and Teel after their second start? Serious question.Idk I think we just witnessed simons ceiling tbh
No I liked Nova. Though I started following team in 2003 I was pretty young and didn’t really understand anything when teel took over but I liked him over hart. Once those guys took one though there wasn’t an alternative that compelling.Did you think that for Nova and Teel after their second start? Serious question.
This is the same guy who thought Caleb McConnell was stealing minutes from Montez Mathis. Simon will be fineNo I liked Nova.

There is no doubt he did that year but talk about off topic lolThis is the same guy who thought Caleb McConnell was stealing minutes from Montez Mathis. Simon will be fine
Just putting your opinion in perspective. You also said Simon had a bunch of clean pockets😂There is no doubt he did that year but talk about off topic lol
Schiano literally said the same thing.Just putting your opinion in perspective. You also said Simon had a bunch of clean pockets😂
Judging from the PFF scores and the fact that Simon was hit on 50% of the throws, you must have watched a different game than the rest of us. Schiano didn’t say there were a lot of clean pockets. He said it was a mixed bag.Schiano literally said the same thing.
