The gifted 14 points. 😡

I know. But considering we now know our QB has been putting cream on his hands all game because he can’t grip the ball I’m not as focused on that. Lonergan is better than Surace. If it was even close - there’s no chance he would’ve played today.

Going for it on 4th and 1 the way we did lost the game. Worst decision of the day.

Ironic that the Rutgers defense is ultimately what did Greg in. What was once his strongest point is now his weakest.

This game is actually a further indictment of GS. They played well against the no. 12 team but so what. If you played with the energy you had tonight against UMass and BC we’re 2-1 and not a joke. You have to prepare your team for every opponent and game, and get up for every game, not just when your back is to the wall. Those two games remain inexcusable.

Greg earned a mulligan. Firing on hold.

Crazy the only recruits we’re getting worth a damn are WR’s and RB’s. And it shows on gameday.

Totally agree. RU's coach & coaching staff are abysmal.

Just putting this out there. They have Howard Indiana and Bye. What if they clean up the problems on the offense and defense over the next 3 weeks? Could they beat the remaining teams after Indiana?

Yes, if Santa Claus comes early and delivers a new coaching staff and team.

Joe, we've already told you to stop posting here. No one likes your dad and we think you should be fired

We can probably beat Michigan State but it'll be a tight one

GS should have taken a TO before the first RU offensive play to prevent the interception. Lol

It’s just a question. If you re re read it I’m just asking if this team tonight cleans up the turnovers and defensive miscues could they beat the last 8 teams.
No. Cmon. Is anyone serious or we all live in clown world?

Great effort today, yet still 0-3. Where was this effort in games 1 and 2?

D staff corrected the Allison debacle, with Wright back but created another with Humes. I have no idea why they stuck with Humes at DB. He was useless in coverage and in the run game.

It's back to great effort, we didn't get blown out ( hip-hip- Hooray ) !!!!
RU fans should not s be satisfied with loosening by a TD to a good program after losing 2 games to programs R U should have beat.
Reminds me of the Shea era what RU lost a fairly close game was considered a partial victory because the game wasn't the blowout loss expected because the RU FB team was terrible back then .and even games against cupcakes were not assured wins .
Rutgers was the cupcake game on a lot of schedules

FIRE GREG!

Is that better? Or do you need to hear it 250 more times tonight?

doesn't matter what I want , if he sneaks in 4 wins, he'll be back next year
Besides Howard he's not finding 3 more wins with these QB's. They both can't see the field. Lonergan had a mainly clean pocket today and still threw two int..

Sorry when USC ends up 7-5 and unranked (which they will with their defense and their schedule) this will just seem like another regular conference home game that we blew. Like Illinois, Iowa, PSU last year, you name it.

Greg’s Defense has been MIA over the last 3 seasons and there is no signs of a turnaround. His fate is already sealed.

No - probably not even 5. He’d need to find 6 wins at this point and that’s highly unlikely.

But for the record, I don’t see any tangible long run benefit to Rutgers in taking that long shot “chance” away from him other than fans simply wanting to revel in the announcement that he’s gone sooner (which is a short term benefit anyway - not long term).
