That’s how I see it. And we knew we lacked depth prior to the season. But we have more depth this year than in the past handful or two of years. So the team just needs to keep building depth.
He's said over and over that he wants complimentary football. Meaning you play to your strengths. You are conservative when you have a good defense and have a good RB. If we had players like Kenny Britt, Anthony Davis and Ray Rice then I bet he is less conservative.
We clearly cannot run the ball well up the middle against the elite teams, yet they continue to do so. You don't need Kenny Britt to try something else that will at least give you a chance to gain yards. That's why we're screaming all game about the offensive coaching. It's painfully obvious what doesn't work.
Nobody said anything about being happy or not happy. I just stated, without name calling, that you would not have the balls to call any staff member a ***** to their face. You avoided the comment. You are a typical internet loser that probably got his milk money taken every day! Now go lay down for your nap.
You mean throw with our QB who has a 49% completion percentage and 3 pick 6s on the season to our group of average to below average receivers?
Hey! Give us time its only been 10 years since we’ve been in the big ten
He made some good throws today. He's not the reason we lost. We didn't even take a shot at the end zone all game.
I’d personally like to see strong get 7-8 targets a game.
I thought he had a good game. Still doesn't mean you put the game in his hands to win us the game with his arm. He hasn't shown he can do this at all this year. He makes.mistakes especially when there's pressure on him. PSU was in the backfield all game. It's a recipe for turnovers, 3 and outs and your defense getting tired early.
In college football the position that will move the needle the MOST is the QB position.
Maybe letting him throw on 1st down or off play action once in a while would actually help him. The whole world knows we run on 1st and 2nd and don't throw until we have to. That is not helping GW and it hamstrings the whole offense. Get him some easy throws on early downs. Nope. Gotta pound it into 8-9 man fronts every 1st and 2nd down, because that's who we are damnit. It's like GS thinks it's cheating or something to try and fool an opponent. He has this old school "this is what we're going to do, now stop us" mentality, and guess what? They stop us!
Bingo!! It’s a stubborn mentality and it creates this perception that we have the players to compete at that level which we all know is not the case. It’s sad
These people remind me of the people who say Rutgers Football should be killed off because it spends so much money, while they ignore how much money the league pays us. Why are fans ignoring the fact we are playing teams that have alumni pouring in $15M a year to pay the fastest, strongest kids to play there? It's just a fact of the game now.
Probably our defense for the first half and then they got tired. After that

This 1000%

They're a better, deeper team, especially at the lines.
We’re a young team.
Can you idiot understand that it's not that we lost. It's that we didn't even try to win. We were content knowing we had a bowl in the bag and played to keep the score respectable. PSU won by 3 tds anyway. That would be easier to swallow if they went for broke.
Good thing a crappy MSU team handed us the game after dominating for 3 quarters, else the season would have a very different aura.
After every loss it's deja vu all over again for the nth time (for the posters with short memories). As long as we have a coach trying to make this style of play work, especially on offense, we're likely to get the same results. A little more depth will probably not make much difference. You need offense that scores.
Lol whatever. If Gavin throws 30 passes today and we lose by 40 (which would probably happen) you'd be the same idiot saying how we can't even keep the score close against these teams. And how Gavin sucks blah blah blah.. **** gets so old with you types.
Throwing more on first downs should keep the other team a bit off balanced and more hesitant on defense
I think we should try to win all our games by using the only player on our offense that is an all-conference player and not by trusting the lowest rated passer in the conference to win us games. Call me crazy.
punter dropped the snap for a TD and they didnt have returner for the pooch kickoff. if either one of those 4th qtr lucky breaks didnt happen we would be 5-6.
Iowa consistently has good to very good OL play. For all of the criticism their OC receives, they actually throw the ball to their TEs and sustain enough drives to keep their defense from wearing out. It remains to be seen if RU can achieve that on the offensive side of the ball. The potential for a good OL is there with Flaherty. The jury's out on the coaching of the QB position and the passing game.
