Football GAME THREAD: Rutgers Football defeats Virginia Tech, 35-16

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

With only 6 min left, it's going to be difficult for them to come back without some massively big play.

Honestly, really strong throw there from Drones. Great coverage & great job he had no chance getting a foot in bounds.

I’ll take some Schiano ball now. First downs please.

 

[rucoe89]

Lewis - getting the QB and Dixon just making his presence in the secondary felt!

Toure helping make a difference.

Need to get ground game going on Offense.

 

[ashokan]

Another end run from short hash
RU must see a weakness there

 

[mildone_rivals]

Unnecessary roughness for sure - free one

I think we might’ve got away with one there.

 

[rurahrah000]

That should end the game.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Why they blowing the whistle before forward progress has been stopped?

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

That sure looked like a first down to me

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Crazy…pile was clearly being pushed forward.

 

[TonyLieske]

ACC ref blew the play dead while RU was still moving forward.

 

[Rutgers Chris]

How is that not a first down?

 

[bac2therac]

Biggest win in years..prolly Michigan

Last time Rutgers beat Va Tech i stormed the field..31 years ago!

 

[rucoe89]

Doesn't Monagai get forward progress on that? Whistle didn't seem to blow until after he crossed marker.

 

[ashokan]

I think we might’ve got away with one there.

I was once called for a hit like that - whole crowd booed me lol

 

[shields]

Get the first down.

 

[mildone_rivals]

That was ******** and Schiano wants to know what the whistle was for. We had a first down except for an errant whistle. C’mon refs.

 

[KingOfTheEast]

Stop sleepwalking!!!

Thank you!

It looked way worse in slow motion, the WR was at least a foot OOBs when he got hit. In real time, it was probably so quick the refs missed it.

Glad the crowd stayed to cheer. You would think with the team winning and trying to get to 3–0 (with P5 wins) for the first time in years they would hang around.

We’ve been 3-0 both of the last 2 years.

 

[Ash_Hole]

It’s a beautiful thing watching a run offense be unstoppable in the 4th quarter

 

[rucoe89]

Washington with a nice block!

 

[rucoe89]

FINALLY!!!!! LIFE on the field!!

 

[TGonzRU_rivals]

All Hail Monangai!

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Beautiful! Just like last week, when things got a little hairy, the offense stood up and said no.

 

[Rutgers85_rivals]

Never in doubt

 

[ashokan]

RU OL crushing that left side DE

 

[drewbagel423]

MVP! MVP!

 

[mildone_rivals]

Crazy…pile was clearly being pushed forward.

I’m not one to complain about officiating. But that call, and the early whistle that prevented us from recovering the fumble last week, were both really bad calls. This one was totally inexplicable.

 

[TonyLieske]

This feels like Temple all over again. We went way out in front, then conservativ play calling let Temple get close, then the offense started playing again. I don’t like it, but here we are 3-0.

Fat lady singing!

RU ran around left side all game - the RU coaches saw a weakness and played it until it broke multiple times

 

[rob kight]

Can we all breath easier now.
Kyle is the man.

As good as Monangai had been I'm looking forward to seeing Brown taking some those 3rd and short inside runs to spread the load.

We're here baby. Since 7AM

 

[RUShea]

I know Brown is a stud but how do you possibly sit KM at this point? I think he's more than earned the RB1 job

 

[RUScrew85]

Kill me now.

 

[KnightFan]

I’m baffled about that punt.. I mean , essentially no chance they catch up and I guess prevents another touchdown, but it smacks of Chris Ash

KM can be the main man but you want to spread the load a little
