Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Football versus Northwestern

[BillyC80]

Ashenfelder with a nice football play. Well done.

Coincidence that the run game picks up when we run a zone read with a qb who can actually run?

Had success running early. Then Kirk overthought it once again and got away from it. Zero feel for the game.

 

[BillyC80]

Need another turnover.

You can see in the second half of this game that there's not a big talent disparity on the field. We were totally unprepared. That's on the coaching staff. Losing our qb1 obviously didn't help either

There's a huge talent gap. Northwestern quit playing because they were dominating so badly; which happens from time to time.

It’s always on the coaching staff. They suck. Bad.

 

[Rutgers Chris]

Allison in a blender again last two plays. He’s not a D1 linebacker

 

[RUChet]

Meanwhile Cincy beating #8 TTU even though Cincy has a WAY smaller roster spend than RU. And their facilities suck.

AI - how is that possible???

 

[Anon1753410373]

Figured it out…NW uniforms look like Kobe Body Armor

 

[AreYouNUTS]

BTW - tha twas VERY nice drive for the TD and excellent running by Raymond. Well done!

 

[rutgersguy2]

IMO that TD throw was Chip Kelly influence, I don’t think Chiles would’ve made that pass the last couple years.

More poise shown there than frenetics.

He’s the size of a small rb

True for QB position primarily, and then the OC disparity is huge.

The issue is the dispersion of the talent. We have a few elite players surrounded by players that can’t play at all. If this was an NFL team you would say there was total cap mismanagement.

He’s like Schiano. Can’t get out of their own way.

 

[Rutgers Chris]

Need someone to ask in the post game why he decided to return kicks now.

 

[Shelby65]

Anyone in the mood for some boiled peanuts?

Always in the mood for that. Goes great with goetta.

Seems empty in their stadium

 

[Knight Shift]

Who taught Ashenfelder to scan the field and not throw to his primary receiver?

 

[RU#1fan]

QB room is putrid

You call that a throw? Team is a mess. Schiano is done.

 

[AdventureHasAName]

He's bad, but Im not sure he's worse than Surace.

 

[BillyC80]

Seems like other teams get easy 7-8 yard pass plays to wide open receivers, while every pass we attempt is into tight coverage.

 

[Caliknight]

QB room is putrid

Schiano paid $1.5MM for the Qb BCU benched lol

 

[kupuna133]

Horrible discipline.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Disgraceful play by about all other than 3 or 4 guys

 

[RW90]

2009 and counting…

 

[RU#1fan]

Maybe we can just forfeit the rest of the season and save the upcoming weekly embarrassments .
Gives Keli an early start to find a real D1 Head Coach.

This is why they built a stadium with a capacity of 35,000. They only have a diehard fanbase of roughly 20-25K. When the visiting team doesn't bring 5-10K, they won't sell out.

Kinda sad. A top 25 team and hardly anyone showed up at a brand spankin' new stadium on a beautiful day.

 

[runner1954]

how about qb#4? He’s a game changer!!

indictment of the opposition as well

 

[runner1954]

QB room is putrid

Along with the defensive room, the offensive line room, and basically almost every freaking room we have

 

[runner1954]

Game over! Is he fired yet?

 

[Caliknight]

Schiano press conference will be fun. “We are close”. “We can’t turn the ball over”. “We need to chop”.

 

[NewJerseyGuy]

Money well spent today.

They have less of a fanbase than we do.

#FreeRocco?

Sounds so New Jersey

Isnt it 23,000?

Esit- just checked, it is 35,000. Maybe 23,000 is too big for them

No
