If Howard stays within 35, maybe 40, of Indiana Saturday an we're 0-2 as of Saturday, the Worst Case Scenario becomes a real possibility.
Knowing Indiana's playbook means nothing without violence.Just hope Indiana reveals the entirety of its playbook giving Greg and the position coaches a tactical advantage in the Indiana game, giving Rutgers a greater chance at victory.

So that's what actual QB coaching looks like.WR Becker is a gold bar. Dude outruns, outmuscles, outreaches, outcatches better than last year and he was epic last year. Cigs really knows the QB position and how to coach it down to minute detail. His QB threw 13-of-16 with four TDs but Cigs had some problems with his play. Like most top coaches Cigs thinks of a game in terms of individual match-ups and no so much schemes alone.
"The head coach quickly reminds you of the defensive scheme North Texas used, the play calls IU countered with, and the ability of the wideouts.
“I think we won our one-on-one match-ups. They had a hard time covering us,” Cignetti said. “They were committed to trying to stop the run best they could. Came out in five down linemen. That was their goal coming in. They were going to try to do as good as they could against the run and take their chances against the pass, and we won our one-on-ones.”
Hoover - “Like coach preaches, it’s a continuous process. He’s always got tips and pointers. I really have so much respect for coach, and anything he tells me, I’m like, ‘Yes, sir, I’ll do it.’ He’s obviously an offensive guy and really, really smart. Anything that he says, I try to apply immediately.”
CIgs has made all his QBs better by a lot
