Rutgers vs Purdue / Game Thread

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Purdue runs a lot of trick plays. Defense has to be more careful than that.

Weak tackles this drive

Weak tackles this drive

This whole season

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Bend don't break!

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

7-3

 

[ru75]

Encouraging stop

 

[ru75]

Let's break one!

 

[mikershoein]

Nice pick up

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Can we bottle up the first drive magic and use it again somehow, please

 

[ru75]

The dreaded back up qb

 

[mikershoein]

Ugh

 

[ruready4somefootball_rivals]

I feel we are going to need a defensive score somewhere to win this game.

 

[RU31trap]

The dreaded back up qb

The kid is 5' 9" a version of Chas Dodd.

 

[mikershoein]

Finally, they lost on a fake play

 

[Queztastic]

Need to go deep on first down here

 

[R U Crazy]

The last 2 plays by Purdue were
"Blaugh"sy

 

[ru75]

Now make them pay!

 

[theRU]

D has done enough to make this a winnable game so far... offense has got to come up with points

 

[mikershoein]

3rd down again

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Offense is stuck in the mud.

 

[mikershoein]

Wtf was that?

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Kill is the worst OC in the country.

 

[ru75]

Anemic O

 

[theRU]

Lol... terrible playcalling

 

[mikershoein]

So close

 

[DC8690]

For everyone wanting Gio....... no difference when you are playing a half way decent team.

 

[Duff366]

This is not Gio's fault so far

 

[R U Crazy]

would like to see some action to unclog the middle.
WR screen, RB Screen (was good thought, but a bit predictable on 3rd down).
I am happy with first half so far (Offense is starting to "Kill" me)

Purdue/Illinois/Rutgers are all on same level.
Not sure we could claim that last year

 

[nikoru09]

Kill is the worst OC ion the country.

nohing to do with talent.....please ,have to ffinnn block,and execute...dont play the blame game

 

[R U Crazy]

OMG.......this has been open against the special team all year.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

LOL, only bad teams would let that happen.
Pen St would never get fooled like that.
A slow punter running a dozen yards.

 

[R U Crazy]

And if Purdue WR could catch the ball, we would probably be down a score.

 

[RUblackshirt2006]

That was a hold on the fake punt that allowed him to get the first

 

[RUeric]

Fire Okruch

So far this seems a little like the Nebraska game, where we looked great on the opening drive with scripted plays, and then were able to get only a field goal on offense the rest of the way. (Our other touchdown was a pick-six if I remember right.) That's not a good sign.

 

[rufeelinit]

Hard to determine when watching on tv but wondering if our wideouts have better at getting separation. My sense that out fresh wrs are struggling to do so.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

I'm about to head out, this team is not worth it. Can't even make an easy tackle.

 

[mikershoein]

Can’t tackle a math problem right now

 

[Caliknight]

Been saying all season that we are ripe for a fake punt. Especially the rugby style. Surprised it took this long.

 

[ntlrock1]

I'm so F'ing sick and tired of seeing the opposition break tackles against us. Holy dog sh*t batman....
