Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Football vs. Michigan State
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Rutgers always had problems stopping back up QBs from looking like stars.
As for RU QBs, few and far between having ones to brag about.
Wimsatt's passing skills makes one feel Rutgers needs to go to the Wishbone
We have to start accepting the fact Wimsatt is not anywhere near what we needed him to be.
Yep can’t run a program where you afraid to score when you have the lead and can’t score when you are behind.
Lol. I don’t get it. What is the point of keeping him out there? He’s now 9 of 21 with a pair of picks. He’s not running the ball anyway. Go back to him next game if you want. It’s not his day.
Wimsatt got a whiplash on that sack. Last week he had a concussion. Those things accumulate. Not good.
We can definitely see the flashes.
But I’d rather have a guy who can consistently make short to medium passes.
You’re kind of making my point for me. What is your expectation of the defense? That it never gives up a good drive? The defense isn’t elite but it’s pretty good. It’s not the problem.
You mean he doesn't need 3 years of seasoning to work out ingrained issues?
But very predictable , it’s happened over & over & over again, similar to GS’s game plan .

just because we point out the officiating does not mean we won’t acknowledge that this team has problems.
I know this would probably cause the "to be avoided at all costs QB controversy" to rear its ugly head, but I think it's time for Simon to come in for the rest of the game...and perhaps the rest of the season. (Though I'm sure that last part won't happen.)
Not saying ES is a world beater, but at least he seems to be able to throw the ball TO a receiver, which would be a nice change for the better.

Facts. Wimsatt was a 4 star recruit, Houser for MSU was a 4 star. One of them looks like their ranking is actually accurate. Wimsatt needs to better to beat Big Ten teams.

Michigan State is supposed to be a troubled team yet they come to Piscataway on Homecoming Day in pouring rain and completely dominate the game .Its beyond embarrassing because next season might be even worse with the addition of the four west coast teams that have far superior talent compared to Rutgers.There is no place to hide in the B1G Ten.
We better not bring Gavin out for another series. He should be done for today.
Agreed but if Evan Simon only had two plays after Simon was knocked loopy on a head shot, Simon will never see legit playing time at Rutgers
funny he has more yds today than his whole season 10 rushes today 13 for the year...oh yes he does. 41 yds on the year 43 yds today
No, not the deciding factor for the game, but they changed the trajectory of the first quarter and a half.
He’s not worse so they are trying to get him back into game flow. No issue with that. Gavin should not play again today.
Basically, what we have learned is Rutgers can only win games where their OL is significantly better than the opponent's DL.
This allows for a vanilla run game to be effective and that is the only thing they can do.
Any other scenario and there is zero offense.

This was a make or break it game, looks like the program went for the broke today and the HC and QB are just not as good as hoped for.
I'm not going to defend Greg anymore if this game keeps going the way i is and no matter how bad the refs are , the coaching staff is to blame for the way game looks
