Football Rutgers Football saves bowl hopes with home win over Maryland
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
At least we are better than Purdue and Maryland
And Iowa, a team we went for to with, is behind 12-7 in 3rd against Oregon, who shellacked us.
Schiano put on a an absolute coaching clinic tonight. Rutgers needs to announce a long term extension immediately to make sure we can hang on to this generational leadership!
Chris..what big time school with these receivers would be calling these plays in that situation?
You take Sttong, Duff, and Zero off the field on a big 3rd which can get you into FG territory? Really?
You kinda answered your own question. Three good receivers to cover, opening up the run. I don’t like the call, but again, it’s worked…
- Sep 27 @ Minnesota
- 3rd & 8 at MINN 33 — Antwan Raymond rush left for 8 yards to the MINN 25, 1ST DOWN.
- 3rd & 10 at MINN 25 — Antwan Raymond rush middle for 23 yards to the MINN 2, 1ST DOWN.
- Oct 18 vs Oregon
- 3rd & 7 at ORE 7 — Ja’Shon Benjamin rush middle for 7 yards to the goal line, TOUCHDOWN (still a 3rd-and-long conversion by run).
- Oct 25 @ Purdue
- 3rd & 10 at PUR 13 — Antwan Raymond rush middle for 12 yards to the PUR 1, 1ST DOWN.
Ok. Are those 4th qtr situations up 8?
Not to mention 3 -5 yards less. Time, opport, and situation matter more than z few successful examples when you have our passing game..which wasn't even tried to get a few yards. Itcwasntvggecrun as my cc h as trying 1 pass 3o yards to get 4.

We were likely down in 2/3. That said, a run is even more defensible when leading vs trailing.
Rutgers Football saves bowl hopes with home win over Maryland
Rutgers Football took down Maryland 35-20 in the Scarlet Knights' penultimate home game and bowl chances on the line led by a stellar offense.
Too bad we didn't win that Minnesota game.
Holding Maryland to just 3 points in 2nd half was a real happy surprise for me.
Now I can smile again after the game.

Let's pack the house versus the nits. For a long overdue to beat those clowns
Defense stepped up big time in the second half!
That DL #91 was excellent in Pass Coverage!!!!

Fer sure. Sorry Oregon doesn't have the takent ior NIL Iowa has. Oregon needs a new Field house AL.
Why this team can actually play quality defense for a half for a few games is killer. Had Greg not screwed up his DC hire perhaps we're singing a different tune. But thats him and on him. Shame.
Yep, we should be 6-4 right now, but that's the way it goes. Still a very nice win, with an efficient, balanced offense - Raymond and the OL were great as were AK and the WRs, especially Strong - and an ok defense. Would be so sweet to beat PSU at home in the finale to become bowl eligible.
Minnesota was a complete giveaway...and Iowa had the right refs not to call defensive holding on our WRs...
Well yeah, but we could have just as easily lost to Purdue and Ohio.
funny reading the thread. It was a great day for a tailgate in November. Hoping we will get the same for PSU.
