Three Years Ago Today: One of the Most Exciting RU Wins Ever

[LevaosLectures]

What a great day this was in Piscataway. Not a great season, but this was one to remember. I miss crowds, excitement, and action like this!

The road win the year before was better.

The road win the year before was better.

They were both awesome. In this one I really thought we were dead in the water though. Plus our home crowd was damn electric.

 

[vkj91]

Too bad 1/3-1/4 of them left before the actual comeback. If you recall the first 3/4 of the game was pretty damn boring.

 

[LevaosLectures]

Man watching those highlights how much do we miss linebackers like Gause. That throw into the flat on third in short in the fouth quarter that he blew up would have gone for twenty yards this season.

Both Arkansas games were great. And of course, there was this gem:

 

[cicero grimes]

I had a Razorback fan in front of me the whole game. He was bragging on the SEC and coach B up until the 4th quarter. Seemed to have lost his voice during the comeback. Wonder what he thinks of coach B now. We kept chanting karma at him at the end.

That was one hell of a weekend in Fayetteville.

 

[rondi]

OMG, those Hog Boys were hysterial, "shyyyyyneee helmets" with a pic of a metal toaster. Still laugh and use that as a one liner with my husband every so often.

[roll]

Go RU!

Both of those games against Arkansas were fantastic. I guess I am biased though

 

[RU31trap]

It should be mentioned that Head Coach Kyle Flood let that team to two consecutive victories against Arkansas.

Disagree. Nova/Carroo & the NFL defensive backfield did.

 

[RutgersRockies]

Man, Nova really dropped a dime on that one TD pass to Carroo.

Oh yeh, that was a real Good Gary in that game...it feels like 100 years since we had QB play like that here:cry:

I love when they say "OUR DEFENSIVE BACKS SUCK"

help me out here .. who was the DC for Arkansas? On the tip of my tongue but just can't get it ..

If Chris Ash was reading this, he would not be happy.

yup, that coach sucked so bad that Urban Meyer hired him. probably only because it's hard to attract coaches to Ohio State that would want to coach under Meyer. Probably had to take him because had no other options.

Possibly the only player to have 2 nicknames, and both deserved.

Something tells me you would like that over, well, let's not go there over here. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

You're correct. LOL

Compared to what we have seen since he left he looks like Johnny Unitas.

 

[NotInRHouse]

The Arkansas series was the only home and home series we've had in recent memory which was truly enjoyable lol.

 

[wheezer]

That was one hell of a weekend in Fayetteville.

The RU section at the away game did a fantastic job. Just watch the video. We was working hard!

Flood was NOT the worst gameday coach. He couldn't recruit and let the players run out of control.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Agree. I thought he was a pretty good coach, but had no idea how to manage a program.

 

[miketd1]

I never said he was..?

My point was those teams that led RU to victory over Arky was more the NFL-caliber talent than the D2 level coaching...
