We are bad with a capital B on both lines. I don't blame Coach Smith; he hasn't had much time to make an impact. But what's Anderson's excuse?

We've been here before. Take it down the field on the next drive.

The offense will be fine if they ever get on the field! The defense is the same old story. Guys that just can’t play at this level.

Replace him with whom? Some guy who is less experienced and less talented? Makes sense.
The program is bad. I get it. He can’t make plays. What do you have to lose. Maybe by seeing playing time, someone can develop.

I don't know how much more of this I can take. I hope we have a drive that lasts longer than 1:30 this time.
Three runs into the line will take longer than 1:30. Complementary.

Anderson’s got four seniors and a junior starting. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

Maybe they’ll get a chance to run block this time.

What's his excuse? He was an overrated Fitz hire. He can't really recruit either.

In addition to being underman's compared to Rutgers nothing's going our way. We dropping interception, targeting gets called but overruled, pass goes through the hands of one of their receivers right to another receiver on their team.

A fake punt! Too bad the receiver didn't try to stretch for the first down...🤬

Stopping Rutgers on the next drive is imperative.

I keep imagining the quarterback with one of those grocery store scooters. Lots of green space.

The criticism is that Heard didn’t lower his shoulder or stretch for the first down. Rutgers was pretty aware.

Probably wouldn’t have been much harm in having a running back out there.
Saying it is a lack of effort is dumb.

(The Dr. Pepper Fansville commercial this year is great:

“So we’re just not rivals anymore!?”
“The transfer portal! It’s out of control!”)

Nice fumble recovery by Priebe. That could have ended the game right there.
