So we kept at the run game and scored 2 more times in the 4th…out gained Tech 140 yards tomaybe 20 yards so in my estimation it worked… Be happy with zero turnovers which is the main take. Certainly not a perfect offensive showing but good enough to squeak out a win😁
Sometimes one has to give credit to the other team, too. VT is no pushover and they came out fired up in the 3Q and punched back and made it close - and then we responded, like we did last week against Temple and put the game away in the 4Q. VT also had a nice variety of play calls that I hope Kirk paid attention to, especially rolling out a mobile QB to give him more time and using the backs very well in the passing game.
This game will be a lot closer than many people think.
If Gavin improves on his reads and makes the Pass opportunities he missed today look out. Upset is possible.
We always play Michigan tough..again, I think we have the coaching advantage (not so much I think Greg is a great coach…rather I think harbaugh is terrible) upset is certainly possible
He's not winning squeakers. His game plans look to be pretty dominating so far.
Being more aggressive when the team cannot execute it successfully is no kind of good solution.
If we’re lucky, the team can play more aggressively and we’ll see that as needed in upcoming games. Otherwise, if we don’t yet have the tools to do so successfully, saying we should play more aggressively is dumb.
Instead of people attempting to criticize Schiano and the game plan try to realize we are not there yet but people more knowledgeable than most on this board are thinking yes he can get it done. Bowl or Bust ….
All good points. As Herman Edwards said, “you play to win the game” and the team will be 4-1 in two weeks. I’ll should reserve judgment. Maybe we will see a passing game.
I actually thought it was a nail biter late in the 3rd Qtr when all the momentum had clearly shifted to VT and we were holding onto a 5 point and the Offense had gone into a shell.
The fantastic 3rd Down run by Kyle and the grit of the Team in the 4th Qtr was superb.
I think he meant the score didn’t match the game. VT far outgained us in the beginning, probably had 7-8 first downs before we got any, etc. it’s possible to be outplayed but be ahead. Overall in 4 quarters we did outplay them but I wouldn’t say we outplayed them in the first 20-25 minutes even though we had a lead.
So you're actually saying if you had the choice of the two to coach at Rutgers that you would pick Schiano?
And you can't say it's all recruiting with him because in the NFL he went to three straight NFC championship games, including a SB appearance.
I agree. I know I was biting my nails and thinking we had given away momentum and were gonna blow the game in the 3rd quarter.
And then KM broke that 3rd down run....with some nice blocking.
The risk management spoke of was going for it on 4th down or not. Sometimes it is best to kick it away on 4th down.
For me, the most worrisome thing in this game was that the OL struggled in pass protection. I suspect that was expected by the RU coaching staff, judging by the play calling. VT had that one DE that seemed very good and was very disruptive. But RU seemed to scheme things to use that guy’s aggression against him at times.
GW can be good if he’s given plenty of time and if WRs get separation. That combination of things only happened a couple times in this game.
UM will be a good deal better on D than we’ve seen. So next week will be tough. I think our D will get worn down, unless we can produce turnovers.
You said that after Northwestern, then after Temple, and now after VTech. Instead of admitting you are wrong you point out how bad Schiano is.
I viewed that phase of the game as momentum change. But even if they got ahead, I didn’t feel like we would be out of it. This team has battled back from mid-game loss of momentum a couple times this season now. A good sign. Losing momentum happens, good teams battle through it.
Hate the sit on a lead philosophy of Schiano. Conservative football = boring football.
For Michigan, they can call more aggressive plays because there's not much to lose. If RU has any trick plays it would be a good game to use them.
You watched those games right? It's been wash repeat wash each time i.e. each time we went into crawl mode.
newsflash, we were supposed to win these games. Now let's see what happens going forward
don’t think we have the players for that, starting with the QB. Greg is going with the hand that he dealt himself.
You keep using that word on here even after people ask you to stop.
You are such a miserable person. It’s almost like you’re rooting against Rutgers.
McCarthy for UM with 3 INTs against Bowling Green. He's also hobbling around. Not an impressive game for them.
Yeah, we know what you mean but that word ain’t no good these days. Do better. Plenty of other word choices.
How about: “are you Knight Shift?”
nah it's fine and anyone too sensitive to hear it in that regard is well 'retarded'. People need to grown up or apply this nonsense evenly.
half our fanbase if full on retarded, it's legit
And I think BG was using their 3rd String QB for most of the game due to injuries.
Michigan not overly impressive.
Actually, you are not the judge of whether the word is “fine”. Society in general has spoken: it’s not “fine”. It’s unacceptable.
It's easier to ignore bigots and troglodytes on social media than to beat your head against the wall trying to change them. Often these types of people suffer from their own mental defects, and rhey compensate by putting down others to give themselves a false sense of superiority.
