Football INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers falls to Maryland 42-24 in regular-season finale

[Mikemarc]

You may be right. My point is in this game the defense has put the already bleak offense in an impossible situation. With Gavin at QB, it’s ludicrous to question the play calling on offense. Gavin misses more throws than he completes. Maryland is going to score 80 if we let his arm loose.

I agree..we should see Simon.

We should have seen Simon weeks ago.

But Greg won’t do it.

 

[RU-Kidding]

Got extremely lucky vs Michigan State..

6-6 (3-6) while completiy overmatched vs Maryland again is not a successful season. That’s not real progress.

Unless you have the biggest loser mentality in history.

We obviously need those 15 extra practices now.

 

[Rutgers56_rivals]

All the good will from the first eight games is completely gone and if you disagree, you probably have no goals in life.

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

Got extremely lucky vs Michigan State..

We did. But no shame in that, we still had to make plays to win it.

But damn they are a hot mess right now; like I said…it’s fragile progress.

 

[WasatRutgers]

This has to be the most pathetic overall effort I have seen in an important game in watching football for over 60 years. Yes Proud, I am that old!

I would say the opener for the new stadium in 2009 on national TV vs a top of conference opponent is right up there. And Cincy ‘06.

Back to the tailgate,rustling up the gang as I type this. Starting the grill and throwing on the beef.Shocked would be an understatement as I never saw this type of game today!

 

[yessir321]

It's official, this team stopped giving a damn as soon as they hit 6 wins. No noticeable leadership! Not good for a veteran staff.

They stopped giving a damn before that tbh... Our 6th win vs MSU we really didn't win the game, MSU gifted us that game with back to back remarkable special teams blunders. Our fan's don't like to admit that fact but we didn't win that game at all, MSU lost it

 

[blueoyster]

I must have missed it...when did Chris Ash get rehired as head coach??

 

[gman500]

I see there is an “unwatch” option at the top of the page…. It doesn't seem to work

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Great catch CD

 

[Zimm80]

Why was he even rehired after the atrocious offense he had here in 2010?

Because Rutgers is a place where OC’s & QB’s go to end there careers , unfortunately Kirk had a little life in him so GS wanted to put him out of his misery .

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

That was another terrible throw. Good catch Dremel. Gavin schist can’t throw.

 

[WasatRutgers]

"We'll be better in November"- Greg Schiano

Better than who or what?

 

[NickRU714]

I'm beginning to wonder if his play-calling is hampered by restrictions placed on him because if Schiano not trusting the passing game and when it has to be used the game is already out of hand

You can just flip a switch and say "okay - now pass the ball and get us back in the game".

This is why you spend time in UM, OSU, Iowa and especially PSU working on the passing game instead of throwing it 16 times.

 

[King of S]

Greg should be embarrassed

Never, he’ll find something to blame but never him.

 

[Rokodesh]

This team is so god damn slow

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Gavin stinks. I’m sorry.

 

[MADHAT1]

All the good will from the first six games is completely gone and if you disagree, you probably have no goals in life.

got to admit a game like this makes the 6 wins and bowl game with it not as good as it felt going into this game.
All I can say if Schiano can't do better, Hobbs needs to pay enough to bring in someone better and $4 million a year to be a HC in the B1G won;t bring in the best and brightest .
I will bring in coaching talent like Greg, close but never considered a good one, just good enough for making minor bowls every year

 

[yessir321]

There can't possibly be a scenario where we don't go for a transfer QB could there? If nothing else at least to put some pressure on Gavin and provide competition, "Iron sharpens Iron" type of deal. Good lord

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Our QB can’t throw.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

I agree..we should see Simon.

We should have seen Simon weeks ago.

But Greg won’t do it.

Agree. But GS knows Simon is transferring out
Next season is more important to GS , he doesn’t care about this years seniors as much

 

[eliminate2006]

Do not like Maryland player mocking chop.

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

TD!

 

[RUeric]

Back to back horribly inaccurate throws and almost another on the TD pass.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

I see there is an “unwatch” option at the top of the page…. It doesn't seem to work

Auburn-Bama is a good option

 

[jkernpop]

Thank god.

 

[Rokodesh]

try not to let Maryland score on the first play.

 

[mildone_rivals]

On the bright side, it seems the screen passes are starting to come together.

 

[WasatRutgers]

I see there is an “unwatch” option at the top of the page…. It doesn't seem to work

You can’t unsee this fiasco

 

[devoted2ru]

Hopefully that'll give the Rutgers D some juice. -They need it.

Great point! Hurry for small favors, we scored a touchdown.

100%. And maybe Wagner and Temple would have been good opportunities to work on passing. But here we are.

 

[TGonzRU_rivals]

Beautiful hit!

 

[jkernpop]

Kick returners putting on a clinic tonight lol

 

[Rokodesh]

Are Toure and Jennings hurt?

 

[RUboston]

MD averaging 15 yards per play.

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Getting some momentum here. Maryland is a momentum team and things can snowball on them both positive and negative.

 

[jkernpop]

Oooh could’ve had a pick ugh

 

[TGonzRU_rivals]

A pick would’ve been nice but of course

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Aww shoot another holding
