Have to keep the MVP happy I guess. Was it Michigan State approaching half where Greg was having a nice convoy with Korsak while time was wasting away and we were marching towards scoring position? That was awful.
You Don't Get the Worst-Ranked Offense in D-1 by Accident...

Schiano needs to get Joe Paterno and the old PSU philosophy out of his head and system. This is not the 80’s. I was hoping he had learned from his mistakes dealing with his talented teams after the 06 season - he hamstrung those teams on offense with his style (with the exception of the mid season turnaround in 08 when he did adjust after a horrid 1 -5 start and let Britt, Underwood, Brown and Teel loose). I really thought he had changed his ways but I was wrong - doesn’t mean he cannot adjust and turn this around with a good OC hire and getting talent through the portal. He wants to play complementary football - well he better get some talent to complement a good defense - otherwise we are stuck with 3 to 4 wins per year in the Big Ten.
Yeah, I have too much time on my hands. Here is a chart of points scored by Rutgers (did not sort our defensive points. The far lower fight has Average, Standard Deviation and #TD of zero TD games (estimated):
2020 and 2022 were banner years. What happened after 2022, for the offense to regress to the Ash-era levels? The standard deviation is very telling to show in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2022 RU is a consistently very low scoring team--DUH!

Our defense allowed the second most TD’s of any P5 program this year only to BC. People think the defense is better than it is due to the offense truly being worse than several high school programs in the country
Not really man… case in point Penn State. The last 2 seasons (prior to this year) they were weak at RB and went a combined 11-11 those years. This year all the sudden they get those 2 stud true freshman Running backs and they’re back to 10-2.
Defense is respectable - good enough to win more than 1 or 2 wins in this conference and be a consistent bowl team.
Some day our worst will be the best worst
Look at time of possession and points scored by the O and realize defenses wear down i.e. Michigan. You're way off.
^Bingo. I haven't seen stats on this, but my guess is that if we break it down to number of plays run by us and our opponents, it would be even more revealing of the position our offense puts our defense in. Though anecdotal, after we we went three-and-out after getting our first turnover against Maryland, I suspected we were in trouble. But I held onto hope. After we went three-and-out after our next turnover I knew we were fvcked. It was too reminiscent of our game against IIRC Nebraska, in which we forced three turnovers in the first half and failed to score (or we got a field goal) off of those turnovers. Our offense simply gives the ball to the other team after running too few plays.
