Game Thread : RUTGERS vs Wisconsin

[Caliknight]

That sums up Laviano.

 

[Toddwills00]

Great bounce pass hog wait wrong sport.

 

[RUBand]

Is our defensive strategy to leave the middle of the field wide open?

That was going on before Flood became coach.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

run run run

How about the run on 3rd and 4 from inside the UW 5 yd line. Why not another playaction call to buy time instead of running it straight up the gut.

 

[bitnez]

Can we bring back wildcat?

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

This is been an absolute disaster so far. The one drive we had a chance to get into the end zone, before they figured out what we were going to do, we blew it, so I don't think we're going to see another score from us unless it's a big play, broken play, type of thing.

Lucky it's not 28-3 already.

Well I said before the game I don't see any blowouts from them like OSU or last year's game and while they might not score a ton they don't let other teams score much either. I thought maybe mid teens for us and mid 20s-mid30s for them. I can't say that I'd change that prediction much watching the game. Still a half to go so we'll see.

 

[RUScrew85]

its not because Wisky isn't all that sharp, that's why its so painful that we aren't showing a pulse today, its a winnable game

Yep.

 

[RobertG]

How do you not block the best lb on the d

 

[Abro1975]

Roth averaging about 19 yards/punt

 

[BrycesUncle]

He had Patton open and threw it in the ground.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Can't agree with that, this is just who we are, when are people going to start realizing that?

 

[RU848789]

Laviano makes a great play to escape a sack and then throws a horrible pass at Patton's feet. Can we please just give Rettig a try?

Another drive starting from inside our 40 - 3rd or 4th one - our punter just sucks.

 

[BeantownKnight]

Wisky starts in our territory again.

 

[theRU]

before we pile on the D here, how many times are we gonna let Wisc start deep in RU territory?

 

[miketd1]

I'm imagining clown music to this and actually laughed out loud.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Very sloppy game by Rutgers so far.

The field position game is putrid. They are almost starting in the red zone on every drive!

 

[JPhoboken]

Special teams are killing us, the field position they get every time
is unreal

 

[RU848789]

And the rout is on...

 

[RUScrew85]

Sigh.

 

[bitnez]

Great job coach. Boys came ready to play and are clearly prepared

 

[S.B. Crumb]

 

[Abro1975]

I'm thinking Rettig will be thrown to the wolves in the 4th qtr

 

[RUTBAY]

If you are the defense why should you even care at this point?

 

[Rutgers Man 22]

I mean. Defense hasn't been bad today, just like OSU and MSU first halves. Offense leaving them out to dry. Can't expect D to be out here on 40 yard fields every 5 minutes. Takes a toll

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

well wasnt that special

 

[MikeRU09]

Lol... 100% Laviano stays in and we continue to run the ball...

 

[scarlet_ty_rivals]

Commence blowout...maybe when we're down by 5 TDs Rettig will make an appearance...smh

 

[BrycesUncle]

This defense is always over pursuing and getting blowout of the play.... Kaiwan blew past the hole and Clements runs right by him for the TD

 

[koleszar]

Why can't we at least be competitive for one F*cking half

 

[RobotHunter]

Wow I wonder why Clement wanted to come back for this game?

 

[OC Knight]

The but we're playing the #1 team in the nation with all that talent. We should be losing .. Oh wait.

 

[Caliknight]

The D isn't great. But let's face it. When you see your offense roll up and suck their thumbs giving the other team half fields to work with, maybe, it must be tough.

 

[RUeric]

Don't want to pick on the kid, but on both of Clement's touchdowns, Hester has a chance to fill the hole and decides to go outside. Other players need to make plays as well.

 

[MikeRU09]

Let me guess... " Chris didn't get a lot of help today..." - flood

 

[CELL BLOCK R]

They just raised priority point requirements for next year....

 

[bac2therac]

Can't agree with that, this is just who we are, when are people going to start realizing that?

I mean its a winnable game in that Wisky isn't some great unbeatable team, I do agree with you though, we aren't a good team. I am waiting for the first Washington State is a good team post today

 

[NickKnight 1]

I love Rutgers football, but I'm numb.

Me too. good comment.

 

[Caliknight]

Even our sideline is dead.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

And they score again... 3-24...

It is only going to get worse. We will never beat these tems with the current coaching staff.

I mean we can hope fir another huge comeback but the odds of that happening again are rather slim.

At this point.. At least TRY to make of game of it. Score somthing before the half.

 

[bac2therac]

Im sure the excuse of choice today will center on Carroo not playing
