The official Rutgers radio broadcast on FM radio is time delayed by at least one play. 🙄 Actually, WRSU broadcast is better!

All over sports radio today was how USC game was so underattended. More empty seats than RU has in its whole stadium. No sweat for first game against 0 and 10 team from last year.

Nice first drive. Great to see 1st play of season was a pass, not a run up the middle. Lonergan perfect 6/6. Duff and Raymond did their thing!

Plus side on D- they can line up without looking completely confused.

Negative side- no difference makers and are slow.

Whatever magic Schiano once had on that side of the ball is long gone.

Similar team we've had. Try to grind it out and hope to win in the fourth Q against Big Ten middlings. Upper echelon conference teams will run roughshod on the D.

Nice scrambling QB. Once Greg is gone maybe we can have one finally. And maybe learn how to defend one too

It looks like we simply have no talent on D. Which is what was expected. Ironically - some of our best defensive talent transferred out. And they have been replaced with FCS / low G5 players. Let’s hope just first drive stuff that can be cleaned up but I’m not optimistic. We couldn’t stop the run at all.

The whole pre game routine is stale..how many years of tge same EXACT thing
I emailed Keli about doing a little clip,feature about the Cannon like they do with the horse. Reason being it is the 250 year and the unique connection Rutgers has to Hamilton... and the reason the cannon is there.. but i guess it wasnt supported given the game day prodyction changes made .
