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

- Start date
Can't sustain a drive, and not enough chunk plays. If the game was 30 minutes we're golden. Ugh.
U have to be able to throw the ball when necessary
Not one sack today. Maybe a couple of TFLs. QB that just runs at will against us.
5-14 38 yards is Dom Natale level
We are not serious

Well he stepped up against bad competition. But not today. So the question is, is that his level of play or is this a bad day? Or will he step up here in the 4Q?

This. There’s a reason we were being conservative. Gavin has to know in advance exactly where he’s throwing to make a play. He’s very limited unfortunately.
I’m most concerned with how the D looks.
People got overconfident because of the halftime score. VT had more yards, more first downs, and had double RU’s time of possession in the first half. Outside of a couple of badly timed mistakes the played better. The mistakes count of course, but it did show that the game was in their hands, RU was being passive and hoping VT would continue to hand them the game.
He will never change
Sadly as the competition gets stronger Rutgers flaws get exposed.The lack of a passing attack is unacceptable.The play calling is very conservative and any opponent with a pulse will stop Rutgers offense.
Announcer said "Rutgers should throw the ball more and not just when they need to."
Greg put the smother on as ususal
Just going through the game stats and looks like they missed a 36yd FG and we got a couple TOs that set us up for some points.
Seems like it's ending up closer than it needed to be but we're still in a good position as of now. They still need a TD to take the lead.
Obviously not out of the woods with a lot time left and only up a score.

Am I crazy or did that look like a bad spot by the same ref that called Dremel’s TD
out at first?
out at first?
I've always said ability to pass consistently is extremely important, especially against better competition. I've always put more emphasis on GW's arm and head (quick thinking) then his legs. That goes for any qb really, if you're going to expect a consistently productive offense
OMG -- Monangai is MVP of the first three games!
Now in even a better position after that TD. Timeout was worth it lol.
