Football Rutgers Football suffers ugly loss to No. 22 Iowa on Saturday

[NickRU714]

Have we made it past the Iowa 40?

 

[Rufaninga]

Awful throw

 

[RuBird]

Iowa has 65 TE's that can get open & catch the ball and we dont have 1. We will never get 1 with Captain Kirk's O

They don’t need that much separation. They go after the ball. Our receivers ……..not so much.

 

[Ronnie_B]

This is an embarrassment.

 

[fluoxetine]

Iowa left a lot of points on the field. We haven't come close to scoring. Blowout.

That’s not how anything works.

 

[njxchange]

why even do a fake at this point. nobody is falling for it.

GW is awful passing...

 

[Plum Street]

This was pathetic all the way around

Tough for TE to catch when they are not released into the patterns. And when they are they are never targeted. I tend to focus on TE’s and receivers at games. They are open when they’re able to run routes.

 

[Rufaninga]

Never sets his feet

 

[G- RUnit]

Hey Gavin isn’t the problem? Definition of insanity!! Crickets!!!

 

[greenknight]

What a ******* shock

 

[bac2therac]

But he is going to win Heisman.....

 

[RutHut_rivals]

Really bad.

 

[gigantor1024]

Is this acceptable to fans? Mediocrity. Happy to be in the Pinstripe bowl.

 

[fluoxetine]

Jesus Christ Wimsatt sucks

 

[RUfromNJ]

Jesus.

 

[RuBird]

Never stepped into the throw. Awful pass

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

The inevitable INT. At least it wasn't a pick 6. I guess that's progress.

 

[Plum Street]

Looking at shutout #15 since we joined the Big Ten. No other squad has either close to half that.

We never score in iowa

 

[RUTGERS95]

but his qbr...lolololol

morons

 

[greenknight]

Let's throw the ball falling back

 

[G- RUnit]

Time to move on from Gavin experiment. Kills us again

 

[Jumba72]

Why? He's beyond awful. Simon must start.

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

stop...

you understand the game is to win right? Gav isn't going to get us over the hump, that was evident early in the year. He's not a qb, he's an athlete masquerading as a qb. He's like Lucas only Lucas was far better

I don’t think we should be passing the ball. Period. You want to win the game against Iowa when you have a weak QB room, then you run the ball.

I don’t know why we didn’t run it with Gavin today, but we had no business trying to win through the air with Gavin or Simon.

You don’t pass the ball against Iowa unless you’re good at it or you want to lose. We don’t have a passer. Simon isn’t a runner.

There you have it.

 

[Samson1975!!!]

Quadruple coverage and overthrown

 

[rurichdog]

Iowa has 65 TE's that can get open & catch the ball and we dont have 1. We will never get 1 with Captain Kirk's O

Iowa could line up a Guard as a TE and he'd reel in 5 catches for 65 yards and a TD.

 

[RuBird]

Seeing Gavin on the phone looks like he is being called to the principals office

 

[spawnofsatan]

RU QB trash. Time to clean house next home game should be empty.

 

[gigantor1024]

Run the ball

 

[greenknight]

FALSE START

 

[dudehimself3]

Wimsatt stinks

How long until we have an actual QB and offense?

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Schedule gets easier with no more Big Ten East games.

We get to beat up on all those Big Ten West finally.
Like Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska....oh wait.

The B10 west is easier but our record vs it isn’t good and that’s also GS’ tenure as well.

PAC teams will be bringing offense, although UCLA has flipped this year with O and D, but one unknown is how the extra travel will affect them

 

[chickenpatty2]

My take:
* A QB that is in year 3 of his development should be much further along than GW.
* With that in mind, our coaches do not put our players in the position to get the most from their skills. Been that way for a long time. That contributes to why some guys excel at NFL, as they are bright and so freaking thirsty for good coaching.
* We were spoiled by our last punter.
* Marco and LJ were our last TEs that actually looked like TEs. I’d take Rashod Kent over our current guys, but again, coaching plays a big role.
* Greg is a lovely man. He will NEVER ”coach” the team in a way that brings consistent winning.

Oh, and get off my lawn!

 

[greenknight]

Hey great Greg another meaningless TO. You helped OSU put 7 on the board with that stupidity

 

[RUAldo]

There were opportunities to run GW off reads but we didn’t…kept handing the ball off and the Iowa D barely had to work especially when they know GW can’t hit the side of a barn. GW is a running QB (or should be) yet we barely run him.

 

[gigantor1024]

RU will forever suck

 

[RUfromNJ]

Didn’t see 22-0 coming. Embarrassing all around.

 

[RUDivision]

Gavin not a D1 starter
Simon can’t throw a ball 15 yds
Greg Schiano you need a qb to play D1 football

 

[RUforlife]

That’s not how anything works.

Ok, now it is 22-0, so blowout.

 

[kupuna133]

This was bad on all accounts. Can’t blame this on the players. This was an absolute coaching failure.
