Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers vs. No. 2 Michigan

[miketd1]

The defense is worn down because we can’t sustain offense.

Game pretty much went as everyone thought it would: Rutgers will keep it annoying close until late in the third when Michigan can take advantage of their depth and a worn out defense.

Bright spot: We are definitely better than last year and actually feel good about winning 6.

 

[zebnatto]

Fourteen point difference is maybe pretty close. but I think we’ve had a couple of tough breaks. Eyeball test in favor of this year’s team.

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

Usually don’t disageee with you but that was awful. Situationally one of the worst calls you can make at that time. Too many moving parts, first time called all season and it was a blind throw.

Fire out Get down hill and get the 1 yard. No slow mesh.

The OL isn't good enough. They haven't converted a short yardage run all game.

 

[bac2therac]

The story for me this game was simple

Michigan time and time again converted on 3rd downs many of them 3rd and long

Rutgers had a few 3rd/4th shorts and ran incredibly awful plays

In between Rutgers held their own but the name of the game is to score andd this coaching staff like it showed in the first 3 games is risk averse to score

 

[RU#1fan]

Getting blown out and still won’t return a KO
Unreal

 

[kupuna133]

If GW holds like he should it's a huge play. The LT was close. I loved the play call.

Yea but you don’t need a huge play there. You need 2 yards. The risk wasn’t worth it situationally.

If it’s second and 12 from the 50 great call. 4th and 2 from the 28 awful call.

 

[RUTBAY1]

Let Wimsatt air it out the rest of the game. Get some reps in and prepare him for the rest of the season. Pass blocking has been good.

 

[RUTGERS95]

refs were definitely tough on us. the PI on the int for 6 was atrocious!

lots to like though

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Go Rutgers

 

[RUTGERS95]

was a stupid play call. once you saw the d set, should have taken a to and discussed.

stupid, bad coaching

They put 8 in the box and ran man press zero. Can't attackmen middle.

Are you feeling alright?? Do you have a fever?

Shelby always keeps it real good or bad. Am healthy as a horse, thanks for asking.

And Wimsatt has made some throws. Only 1 truly bad throw and that was the play they picked up the flag for taunting

 

[gef21]

No. It was set up perfectly. The corner is supposed to be aggressive so he doesn't see the LT. GW threw it too quickly.

 

[mikebal9]

If you think we were stopping Michigan from scoring the rest of the game you were fooling yourself

I do t see where I said that. But it would have been 17-10 instead of 24-7. I know which I'd prefer.

 

[rob kight]

A Young sighting

 

[Mikemarc]

Please...at some point you have to drive down..that was their best shot..

Agree. But that screen call was brutal

 

[Ash_Hole]

Loving this drive against #1 defense in the country

 

[RW90]

Wimsatt having a nice game minus the pick.

 

[kupuna133]

The OL isn't good enough. They haven't converted a short yardage run all game.

You have 2 backs bigger than monangai on the bench. Get under center and give it to brown. Would rather take my chances with that play call then giving up a 70 yard interception on a 4th and 2.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Dremel just getting shoved lol. No PI of course.

 

[bac2therac]

Agree. But that screen call was brutal

Oh i agree there

 

[RUTBAY1]

Defensive holding on that 3rd down play against Dremel

 

[kupuna133]

They put 8 in the box and ran man press zero. Can't attackmen middle.

Would rather a play action slant or a tight end dump at least the momentum is going in the right direction and your on the right side of the sticks. Plus the ability to draw a defensive holding or pass interference penalty.

 

[RU#1fan]

Michigan DBs will keep grabbing the jersey. No calls
Wash, rinse, repeat

 

[greenknight]

I'll tell you I know GS's stance on PR's & KO's but the gutless wonder has to start letting the players make plays

 

[Ash_Hole]

Wimsatt having a nice game minus the pick.

He has undoubtedly grown. Really nice to see. Great throwaways, uses his feet more, good recognition of the few times when WRs are free, and really took care of the ball

Future’s bright for RU despite some
bad breaks & BS in this game

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

Rutgers didn't get a single turnover. That's pretty amazing.

 

[Shelby65]

Shelby always keeps it real. Am healthy as a horse, thanks for asking.

Dremel just getting shoved lol. No PI of course.

No, a jump ball. Up for grabs isnt PI.

100%

Slant wouldn't be there. Man press with inside leverage. TE maybe a solid call, but with bringing that much into the box play action would be hard. Id have take a roll out or sprint out.

 

[MTOleBlue]

No, a jump ball. Up for grabs isnt PI.

Uhh, that's not how football works lol. Dremel was shoved by the defender before the ball got there. That is pass interference.

FIFY

OL and DL killed us here. Those are areas of improvement need asap

also receivers have had chances to get it and didn't

 

[Rokodesh]

wanna pull my hair out on that 4th down

Wimsatt seems to sense the rush pretty well from what I've seen. His mobility helps him get out of trouble. Curious if you see it the same @gef21

 

[RUBlackout7]

Dremel turning the wrong way smh

 

[gef21]

The dig was open.

 

[chickenpatty2]

Nothing against The Dremel, but we do have tight ends on the team for a 4th down play, amirite?

 

[RU#1fan]

Terrible Pass
Had much more time back there.
