Rutgers vs Illinois / Game Thread

[BobRC72]

Love to see Blackshear get some work now.

 

[TonyLieske]

RU penalty pretty much guarantees RU will get nothing for the turnover.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Son of a *****!

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Stupid penalties. C’mon!

 

[rupop2]

FFS these refs will cause this game to be 6 hours long

 

[soundcrib]

Our players aren’t very smart

 

[RUBand]

The quick hit was actually quick

 

[TonyLieske]

And there's another one.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Does anyone think the coaching staff didn’t point out that we’re killing ourselves with dumb penalties st halftime? Players need to focus.

 

[RUeric]

What a dumb play by Washington.

 

[koleszar]

Flags, flags, flag, flags and more flags. It's gotten so bad I expect a flag every play now.

 

[RUSK97]

Why don't we commit a few more penalties?

 

[TonyLieske]

Penalties are a hallmark of bad coaching.

 

[mildone_rivals]

I’d call a deep ball up the sideline. Throw it away if not there.

 

[JonathanAlan]

Gio needs to roll out when passing. Much more effective

 

[kapyoche]

I need more penalties.

 

[mildone_rivals]

C’mon, Jerry. We need to put a nail in the coffin.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Penalties are a hallmark of bad coaching.

Do the coaches play? Nah, didn’t think so.

 

[HeyHuey]

They flipped the field on us....

 

[RUBand]

Yeah, coverage by ST

 

[koleszar]

Did anybody else just hold their breath on that punt return?

 

[BobRC72]

Well at least no fumbles.

 

[TonyLieske]

Do the coaches play? Nah, didn’t think so.

Seriously? You don't think coaching is related to penalties?

 

[JonathanAlan]

Its crazy that Illinois is starting 4 freshman on their OL, a freshman RB, and of course a Soph QB

..and despite that we can't pressure the QB. Pathetic

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Seriously? You don't think coaching is related to penalties?

I guarantee they coach these guys not to commit penalties. It’s on the players not to commit them!

 

[sct1111]

..and despite that we can't pressure the QB. Pathetic

We're winning... Chill.

 

[RU848789]

So many penalties. Well, at least they didn't score on that first drive. Let's get a three and out and execute better next drive.

 

[Jackson206:)]

Kill is sooooooooo conservative.

 

[NJdirt1]

OT Army is even beating EMU???????

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Gio's 2nd-down pass that was knocked down at the line may have been a pick-6 if the wasn't knocked down. But are we ever going to try a go-route? We have some speed and can soften up the defense, but instead we are so conservative in every situation.

 

[RC85]

We're winning... Chill.

We're letting them hang around, and they are moving the ball. I'm nervous.

 

[TonyLieske]

I guarantee they coach these guys not to commit penalties. It’s on the players not to commit them!

Haha, ok.

 

[JonathanAlan]

Illinois has made better adjustments on offense. Running at Tray

 

[mildone_rivals]

I hereby dub this the Penalty Bowl.

 

[koleszar]

Refs to busy calling penalties they missed a fumble.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

These refs have a friggin tea party before announcing each penalty. A false start shouldn't take more than 2 seconds to announce.

 

[daneman100]

But no holding on Illinois there???

 

[RUfubar_rivals]

I guarantee they coach these guys not to commit penalties. It’s on the players not to commit them!

That is astute

 

[RUb-it-in]

Worst pass rush ever against 4 freshmen linemen!

 

[mildone_rivals]

Haha, ok.

So you think the staff coaches them to get penalties? Or maybe the coaches should bench players that commit penalties. We can do that with out great depth, yes? Or maybe you just figure the coaches are old softies and give the players candy and flowers when they make mistakes?

Give me break.
