Ok, Kirk Ciarocca is a huge problem. His play calls on 4th down are terrible.
Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers vs. No. 2 Michigan
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Score may not show it, but we're getting better.
Didn't like the pass for TD on 4th down. We were open over the middle for 1st down
Held through the entire route. Look at the back of the jersey.
I would lean towards that, but they were bringing heavy edge pressure consistently. They tried to suck those guys up field, and they didn't
Same old Rutgers.
Dumb play calling and just wear down our own defense
Years away from truly competing with the big boys such as Mish, OSU and Pen St.

Reminder: We are playing #2 team and refs. This game should have been closer against #2. This team is better…much better
When McNulty was the OC, he had a quote that went something like “I’ll keep trying to find a play that doesn’t require us to execute or beat our man, but I don’t know if I’ll find it.”
I’m not a McNulty fan, but I think that quote explains the plight of our recent OCs. We’re getting better, and things seem simpler this year w/ KC (a good thing), but when you’re facing a 4th and 2 with WRs who aren’t going to create a lot of space on their own against good DBs, a mismatch on the lines, and a young QB with unreliable accuracy…there are few “good” calls. He tried an easy throw and a design that’s supposed to make room for the receiver. It didn’t work, but hard to blame him for calling it.
I’m pleasantly surprised JH didn’t try to add another score on the board.
The bogus holding penalty was HUGE
The dumb play calling on 4th and short , twice, was more frustrating
Rutgers is improved but they were dominated in the trenches.
Hopefully no serious injuries today.
Regroup and start opening up the playbook against Wagner
You have a QB that runs 4.5 and big why the F are we not running against the play or naked bootlegging and letting him make a play...every single team does that and has success against us
Dude, we are not too far removed from 78-0…
If you can’t see the clear progress this program is making, you’ve got to be a troll of some sort.
After a somewhat flukish td conversion on 3rd down Rutgers went 59 minutes without a score
Better but still so far away
The concerns i had from the first 3 games all showed up again on offense

2 years ago at Michigan it was a dogfight to the end where we played a better overall game
Lots went against us this game including some non calls, a picked up flag, d holding on every pass route, a fumble missed that should have been.
That being said, Wimsatt looked very good. Online pass blocking against the so-called #1 dline in the country was very good. It looked more like a 14 point game vs 24. Other than PSU and OSU, I like our chances against anyone on the schedule. That said even PSU and OSU shouldn’t be sleeping on us.

penalties, turn overs, We cant win when we commit both.
Refs had no bearing on us losing this game.
We got beat by a good football team.
We are a tough out for anybody on our schedule.
