This is as listless.. and kyle flood era boring-as I can recall. Waiting till less than 8 seconds to run a play while down 2 plus scores is too much

Kc needs to show that he can be an offensive coordinator when he doesn’t have a great running attack or is behind. Sometimes you have to call plays with what you have.

The excuse makers will say injuries

No excuses. We were a really really bad program, now we’re at least bowling, but we’re playing ugly football right now and that has to get fixed before next year if we’re going to sustain momentum.

This season shows we’re making progress, this season shows its fragile progress and there’s a long way to go.

Got extremely lucky vs Michigan State..

Adding Punter to our list of needs!

If they looked prepared, and like they cared, I would stay quiet. However everyone is now paid. At least try!

no excuses, just a bad game because of a bad offense and the D just not able to get on track and try to keep it close.
Schiano has made this program a bowl team, not a team you could consider good enough to expect a lot out of.
But this game, if continues the way it is going now, will end extension talk and have many talking replacement without thinking about how mucxh Hobbs would pay someone to make RU into a power .
Schiano will win enough games to make a bowl game just about every year, but won't make the program something to brag about because there will be too many games that RU doesn't look good
This is all coaching

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!

Season will probably end with a losing record after the bowl game. In no way would I consider a losing season a success. Progress yes, success no.

Hate to say it, but right now we don't look like a team that's going to a bowl. -We look more like what flushes down the bowl.

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

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.

Doubtful we put Simon in…Greg is WAYY to stubborn. He won’t admit a mistake in starting Gavin.

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 would score 80 if we let his arm loose.

No pass rush either. Why is Melton on sideline? Saw #16 on sideline. Yes is Gavin's fault that dremel can't catch a good pass.
