Football GAMEDAY THREAD -- Rutgers Football vs. No. 1 Ohio State

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

Holy crow that could have been an easy scoop for 6. Lucky to get the kick off.

Did that look like as bad of a missed PI call on TV as it did from across the field at the stadium?

Not PI. Good no call.

 

[jkernpop]

Facepalm.

 

[Joey Bags]

Not PI. Good no call.

Agreed. Terrible throw and the receiver more or less just fell over on his own.

The last few seconds looked mutual. Not sure about what happened earlier.

Ball was out of bounds and not catchable.
Honestly, he was also close to offside to begin with.

I didn’t think it was myself and thought contact both ways. Announcers thought it was uncatchable as well.

 

[drewbagel423]

Too cute on punt formation

 

[rurichdog]

Can't beat ourselves, c'mon guys.

 

[mildone_rivals]

We can’t mistakes like the bad snap and win. Gotta be perfect.

 

[RUChoppin]

Thanks - had a bad angle from where I sit

 

[NickRU714]

Watching relay seemed like the OSU defenders didn’t want to risk a roughing the kicker and actually pulled up and didn’t really block it.

 

[RUb-it-in]

Wasn't our long snapper the #1 LS recruit in the country last year?

 

[NickRU714]

Henderson didn’t put in his mouthpiece before that run. Was hoping it would be a key to a pass play.

But he ran it.

Guess Michigan won’t be calling me anytime soon.

and?
it happens, part of the game. kid against OSU could be nervous

other **** to be worried about here

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Oh man, that was a good catch unfortunately.

 

[Joey Bags]

Toure lookin weak on that

 

[ScarletDave]

Good job by our pass defense to stare right at the receivers instead of turning around to try to get easy picks. Really worked there staring him in the eyes watching him catch the ball in your own chest

 

[jkernpop]

You cannot throw a better ball. Time to chop

 

[TommyGunn_rivals157283]

D line getting knocked around. Not a good sign.

 

[ashokan]

Hard catch well made
Ohio making hard things look easy
RU making easy things look hard

 

[mildone_rivals]

Oh man, that was a good catch unfortunately.

It really was. Was about as well defended as it could’ve been except for somehow sensing the ball in the air and deflecting or intercepting, which would’ve been mostly luck.

 

[NickRU714]

Can’t play this series conservatively.

 

[APKnight]

I don’t have any issues streaming right now. Sound is fine.

YouTube TV did have issues last Sunday though for a bit. I don’t watch NFL but I saw it caused a stir for that.

The sound cuts out on commercials too. So it’s a cable issue. Optimum. Pssshhh

 

[mildone_rivals]

Toure lookin weak on that

I thought he played it pretty well. Just a great throw/catch.

 

[RU-Hunter]

need a good offensive drive here

 

[RUTGERS95]

Good job by our pass defense to stare right at the receivers instead of turning around to try to get easy picks. Really worked there staring him in the eyes watching him catch the ball in your own chest

that is what they tell them to do
gone are the days of teaching to read eyes, peek out of the break, turn and place hand inside hip of receiver

great catch and throw

 

[mildone_rivals]

The sound cuts out on commercials too. So it’s a cable issue. Optimum. Pssshhh

No problem with the broadcast quality for me on optimum (or on Altice fiber, I guess).

 

[BillyC80]

Seems like a GS defensive technique, never turn around. Frustrating when the receiver is looking back for the last 5 yards.

 

[NickRU714]

Can’t play this series conservatively.

So about that……

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

Rutgers hasn't gotten a 1st down yet. This game isn't starting very good.

 

[Joey Bags]

So far looking exactly the same as every other game against OSU since 2014

 

[gigantor1024]

3rd and 3 and we don’t play to our strengths. Good ol Schiano

 

[NYCRUFan82]

This is a big series for the defense. We need to get them off the field.

 

[NickRU714]

The sound cuts out on commercials too. So it’s a cable issue. Optimum. Pssshhh

Xfinity and haven’t had any issues.
Good luck.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Gonna be along day

 

[mildone_rivals]

This D series will be informative. Can our D prevent OSU from just marching methodically down the field or not? We’re not gonna win a shootout.

 

[NickRU714]

Rutgers hasn't gotten a 1st down yet. This game isn't starting very good.

“We’re running the offense we need to in order to win. Stop complaining.”

I believe that’s the standard response from many when any critique of the offense comes up.

 

[ashokan]

Mongo getting some hard yards early - not getting stuffed like Pacheco was.
Hopefully he gets rolling as things go on.
He's pulling 4-5 defenders with him and that plays out in 2nd half

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

#88 looks to be a beast. He will be very hard to tackle. OSU has a lot of great players.
