Football LIVE GAME THREAD: RU vs. UM

[KnightFan]

Sorry all. I’m out. TV is off. I’m going to take advantage of a beautiful day.

There is no reason to waste an afternoon only to see our team play like a pee wee team. If we were remotely competitive, maybe, but.. we are outclassed in every aspect of the game (except punting??)

 

[ScottRU93]

We cannot run-block inside. Not until we back them off. He was calling inside running plays like we’re gonna overpower their D line.

He’s not bad at setting things up. We don’t execute. He’s not a bad coordinator. We have no offensive line.

 

[Rufaninga]

It’s not fair to judge Ash in this season now with Raquan O’Neal out.

Let’s see what Ash can do with a healthy roster in 2020.

go away

no one wants to gear that. too soon.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Our OL stinks

 

[ScottRU93]

Poor Sitkowski. I like this kid. He’s gotten better. We can’t block our grandmother

 

[ScottRU93]

Here comes Field Goal. I’d be shocked

Agreed 100%, but I hope that healthy roster is at a high school or somewhere more suited to his coaching "talents"

Sitkowski looking pretty damn good on this drive. Nice to see. Too bad no TD, though.

 

[R U Crazy]

4th and 2 from the 5 yard line........
What does Chris do?

 

[Rufaninga]

go for it!

 

[Block R]

4th and 2 from the 5 yard line........
What does Chris do?

Punt

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

You have to go for it here. We have nothing to lose. We are not winning this game. So might as well not play it safe.

 

[KnightFan]

4th and 2 from the 5 yard line........
What does Chris do?

At least he didn't punt...

 

[scarlet_ty_rivals]

4th and 2 from the 5 yard line........
What does Chris do?

Punt.
Seriously, I think he takes the easy points.

 

[Rufaninga]

Punt

lol !!!

 

[brookdale-soda]

4th and 2 from the 5 yard line........

Im sure it's Very tempting to punt in this situation

 

[DHajekRC84]

The history of rutgets throwing short of the line to make every 3rd down continues . these guys tackle!

 

[Salvi's Headband]

There is zero point to kicking a fg.

 

[ru66]

kick fg

 

[bitnez]

I’d go. Get Blackshear on a LB

 

[shields]

Need touchdown.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Honestly I would kick the fg.

 

[koleszar]

This is fvcking insane that our Oline still doesn't know how to pick up a blitz. It's not hard, look inside 1st then outside. We looked outside 1st. Our interior right guard and center are lost in space.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Sitkowski looking pretty damn good on this drive. Nice to see. Too bad no TD, though.

Go for it. What do we have to lose?

 

[bitnez]

kick fg

It’s the smart play almost every time but we have nothing to lose

 

[ru66]

there are 3 points to fg--and we need some points--don't get td and mich marches down field?

 

[Block R]

Honestly I would kick the fg.

I'm curious...why? That's basically conceding defeat imo.

 

[RU848789]

Ash realizes his job's in jeopardy...

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Of course....

 

[ru66]

dumb

 

[R U Crazy]

Good idea going for it....What was Art thinking?
Oh well

 

[mildone_rivals]

Bad decision to run for Sitkowski.

 

[RUTrack94]

Give him credit for trying!!! ... at least UM is pinned deep.

 

[scarletbergen]

What a great call.

 

[bethlehemfan]

I'm curious...why? That's basically conceding defeat imo.

Just because sometimes you just need to get some points.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Oh well

 

[DHajekRC84]

Sitowski showing some guts today.

 

[rurichdog]

I knew it! The OC was "saving" Sitkowski pulling the ball out on the zone read as a trick play...and it went nowhere.

 

[Block R]

Just because sometimes you just need to get some points.

The way our defense is playing, we needed 7 there to have a chance. I like the decision to go for it but didn't love the play call.

 

[ru66]

mistake if they go down field and score what a mistake--I hope not
