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

[BillyC80]

If we ever had a killer instict on offense we would be top 20

That said today is exceeding any expectations

I agree in general but in this case we had to make Ryan Day pay for that boneheaded fake.

 

[Jerseylegends]

Wimsatt is going to keep the ball on one of those options next half...they've been setting the defense up for it..

We won't win with Wimsatt throwing.
But he can keep them honest by throwing down field. Just need him to connect on a couple.

Keep running churning yards and clock

Running game is moving the ball which is good to see

 

[Ash_Hole]

I’m okay with FG. You take the points vs risking giving Ohio State momentum on a 4th down goal line stop

Also shows you believe in/need your defense

 

[rob kight]

Not bad against #1 team

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

You can still attempt to get a TD and end up kicking a FG.

We haven't called one play to even attempt to score a TD.

I can go along with that thinking. Not with going for it on 4th downs as the game stands.

Rutgers ball!!!! Beautiful.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Let’s gooooooooooooo!

 

[NickRU714]

You do realize our 4 star qB is having trouble throwing the ball. And at the same time our OL is having success against OSU.

And we're still losing after 2 red zone trips.

This is why people complain after Indiana about our offensive philosophy.
Offense doesn't just show up when you want it.
Perhaps if more time was spent developing the offense we wouldn't have a QB with 1 completion for 0 yards and 6 pts in a game we should be winning.

 

[Rufaninga]

Sweet!!!!

 

[zebnatto]

9-7 at half.

 

[greenknight]

Let's ******* go!!!!!! Grab 7 pts and get the ball back Let's ******* GO

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

See there you another sudden change. Make them work for it down the field like I said.

 

[brgRC90]

Stadium looks full now

 

[mildone_rivals]

For the first time this year, I don’t see an argument for a coaching decision - don’t think we should’ve gone for the 3 there. Our D has done okay, but OSU had a drop or two on what would’ve been big plays for them. Those drops won‘t continue.

We need points to saty in the game.

This is why I don’t coach FB.

 

[tm_nj]

way to go Toure!

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

Guys this game is winnable.

 

[zebnatto]

Dumb call.

 

[greenknight]

Run the ball he has like a 5% chance of completion

 

[TGonzRU_rivals]

TOURE!

 

[rob kight]

Are you kidding me. Toure is the hero today

 

[jkernpop]

MO THE MENACE

 

[Jerseylegends]

Always take the points with this D

 

[NickRU714]

That is why you go for a TD. Because the defense is playing great and gives you the space to take risks on offense.

 

[toby83]

Run the ball

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

That was a very good pass. 1st down

 

[greenknight]

Let's go grab 3 pts

 

[ashokan]

Lol easy on my guy Dremel...best feet we have a wide receiver...we don't have another guy that could've run that route, that precise.. everyone else runs the slippiest routes..

He's good but RZ passes are short field and contested.
At RU only Sanu was good at RZ TD receptions
Britt only had 2

 

[Rufaninga]

Finally, completion!

 

[greenknight]

Now call time out

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

They are in FG range

 

[greenknight]

**** yes

 

[NickRU714]

Finally trying to score.

 

[drewbagel423]

Gavin seems to throw much better when he can just sit in the pocket and fire it rather than having to put some air on the ball

 

[brgRC90]

Wimsatt is,better throwing to guys in the middle of the field than wide open guys outside...

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Here we go might be able to get the lead going into half

 

[greenknight]

Yes

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Have to throw here.

 

[brgRC90]

Ohio State looks stunned

 

[zebnatto]

Shovel pass?
