Think your team looks much improved

[MiamiWolv]

Your defense is solid, the rb is very good, the wrs made some tough catches and the quarterback has made some real strides. You looked like a solid B1G club, and your coach deserves credit for building your program back.

Really see no reason why you can’t win 7-8 games and finish in the top 6 or so of the league this year.

Good luck rest of the year.

 

[rutgersal_rivals139582]

Thanks miamiwolv. Enjoyed my visit to the big house. You guys look top notch

 

[RUBlackout7]

We hit that first down and things could have gotten real interesting. Agree though, seems like a solid B10 team finally

Hey we found the nice UM fan! Cool.

 

[MADHAT1]

Needs some improvement, but this game even if a loss implies RU looks like it's improving
Congratulations on the Wolverines win , but hope RU turns the table soon.

 

[Plum Street]

Thank you for your input.
I just don’t see how this was any better than 2 years ago . We lost by 7 then down to the wire . Today we lost by 24 and the game was over after 3 quarters.

Look past the score and see the bigger picture. QB is steadily maturing and developing poise. The defense is continuing to look more physically up to the task. We are better coached, and have depth at RB. Need a couple of WR’s and a competent TE but overall we much more look the part of an upper half BIG program.

I would think if you read the postgame on this board 2 years ago it would be many similar comments .
Today didn’t mean anything

twoyears ago the program looked like it was improving, then the bottom fell out last year.
Yhis year , even with this 24 point loss, it looks like TU might be headed to the positive side insted of going back to the bad old days like last year implied it would.
Even the QB play, though nothing to write home to mother about, wasn't something to make us hide our heads in shame and feel the sky is falling.
It wasn't anything to brag about, but gave us hope Gavin might be getting the hang of it and stat to make QB play a plus in the offense instead of dreading
the QB play before every game

 

[Scarlet Jerry]

Yes, our team is much improved - we had the capability to score on any drive which was not true in the past. The Wolverines looked solid, and should be favored in all games going forward. My biggest complaint is the refs who were clearly working against us. From the phantom hold in the first quarter to the non-review of the obvious fumble, it was a frustrating game to watch. I haven’t seen the refs blow so many consequential calls in one game before. Even Schiano alluded to this, and he never talks about the refs.

Good luck the rest of the season.

How am I being negative ? You obviously haven’t read all my posts . Just being honest . 6 wins is still a good possibility

most long time RU fans more then likely have the must show me attitude before I believe and come across as negative.
Some have never-ending hope no matter what and are called idiots

Only once since Burnsie left has RU FB met expectations and even that season didn't turn out as hoped for after the big win

Because it’s a loss . Very similar to 2 years ago . Not trying to be negative . Today didn’t tell us much . Next week we get win number 4 and then we got to get to 6. That is still the goal and today didn’t change it

 

[RU4Real]

I liked what I saw. I think we're still a little soft in the secondary. Gavin still has some maturing to do. But there are some real positives on this team and I think 6 games is easily achievable if we keep developing.

 

[sct1111]

I'm pretty sure he's a cuse fan

Yep a year that RU looked like it was improving and even qualified , under lower standards than usual , for a bowl game at end of season.
Gaining praise from many RU fans.
Last year regressed and the bowl praise ended with cries that it shouldn't count because of those lower standers .
I understand your Missouri attitude and don't consider it negative.
Alsoany thread discussing a loss isn't a feel good one to me, but this one might be a gives a little hope for the future but wins must be the sign of improving is my attitude , even if I base improvement on the way team plays
for retention of HC and staff for next year, wins are the best way to judge how a game went

No one should get too worked up about today . A Chris Ash team once went into the BIg House and lost by less than what we did today. So stop jumping for joy. Let that sink in

not jumping for joy, just looking on the bright side of picture and know there's a wats to go before can claim Rutgers has improved.
Some might take that as jumping for joy when they only see all the bad things that happened and feel those who see a light at end of tunnel are idiots not to realixe that's a trine on its way to run their hopes and dreams over and smash their joy into the dirt between the rails

Gavin threw for 183(?) yds. Less then 50 percent completion and got 72 yds on 3rd play of game when DB slipped. Not seeing all this praise and optimism in his play except throws ball away more.

 

[RUTBAY1]

Sometimes the “eye test” matters. Today was one of those times. When was the last time we had a QB who could make those sideline throws like Wimsatt did today? I think it was Gary Nova.

My “eye test” says we are more competitive than we’ve been since our first year in the B1G. It also says that this is the best team we’ve had with Schiano 2.0.

This Michigan team is probably better than those other years. At least Defensively.

There were 3 games I think most of us wrote off - this was one of them. We carried ourselves well and a couple of things break our way, it’s a much closer game. Hell, if that pick six turns into 1st down for us, could have been 14-17 late. Proud of the effort and progress. This felt like a team that’s going to have a real chance against Wisky, Iowa, UMD, and MSU.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

And 6+ wins probably would’ve happened in 2021 year too if we hadn’t lost 2 OL starters. The starting first team unit that beat Syracuse and took Michigan (a weaker version) to the wire wasn’t bad. The biggest difference (I think / hope) now is we’re deeper across the board at all positions and have servicable guys who can step up where we couldn’t back then. Our back up linemen weren’t close to D1 caliber back ups in 2021. So when you lose Sutton for the season, and don’t have O’Neal for weaker opponents like NW, it’s a very big problem.

Ridiculous negative comments. If you don't see the overrall improvement and competitiveness of this team over past teams then you're willfully blind. In past years the talent level disparity was painfully obvious to anybody , even diehard Rutgers fans like myself. But that's not the case now . We're not yet at the point of beating OSU, PSU or Michigan but with another excellent recruiting class or two we'll be damn near close.

 

[shields]

Gavin played fine, biggest mismatch is our OL vs their DL.

It didn’t move the needle either way. Want to show things have changed ? Get to 6 wins and maybe even knock off wisconsin or iowa.
It can happen

I get what you are saying. We also have improved in most areas across the board putting us in better positions to win games

Rutgers can certainly win 6 but no guaranteee and we have bugaboos with play calling that will always be constant

 

[MADHAT1]

Plum, why so glum?

It's easier to have a negative attitude about a program that has been historically bad since it started playing the big boys.
You can make like your Nostradamus because predictions of failure for that program are safer than gambling on it being successful .
Predicting success and sharing that prediction, before that program proves it is ,will get you called an idiot and even if if right about a positive prediction you'll be compared to a blind squirrel
Right now it's safer to be negative about Rutgers chances to win and feel safe predicting losses that if RU loses you can say I told you so.
So might not be as glum as trying to staying safe
