Rutgers vs Michigan State / Game Thread

[Knightmoves]

What will be the halftime score, 35-0 ?

 

[rucoe89]

Edit: than YOU ORIGINALLY believed. A handful of us were trying to tell the board all summer long.

Whatever.

 

[D1ESEL44]

Nice call on D there with corner blitz. MSU wasn't expecting that

 

[RUSK97]

I'd say demote Mehringer. Fire Okruch. Ash take over DC responsibilities as co-DC. Bring on best seasoned OC and special teams coordinator Ash can attract.

Agree. I can't explain it, but I think Mehringer is not as clueless as I originally thought him to be. He just doesn't know how to coach yet. He might be a decent OC in 5 years. Make him a WR coach again.

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

Yup.

I'm looking at season as a whole. great ranking in that category.

so the moron's assistant did

 

[D1ESEL44]

Man our LBs just can't get off blocks

 

[rucoe89]

I'm going with the under on that! At least we can have some Vegas fun!

 

[VW Knight]

It's like we're afraid to tackle the guy with the ball. It's terrible

 

[Jonb127]

This is a 10 year rebuild. 5 years so the coaches can learn to coach and then 5 years to get the players.

 

[koleszar]

Our Dline is getting destroyed.

 

[D1ESEL44]

We can't defend the run. Our LBs are just not very good

 

[zappaa]

Our Dline is getting destroyed.

O line is worse

 

[Rokodesh]

79-0 final

 

[RU848789]

Holy ****, we just effing suck!

Really.

 

[Rutgersnj201]

I'm all for this.. still believe mehringer is great to have in the program just not OC.

 

[Mikemarc]

so the moron's assistant did

Huh?

 

[zappaa]

No resistance

 

[TM514]

Mich State uses a TE and a QB under center. What a novel concept

 

[RUnewjersey]

Ehh. disagree.

The players aren't good. he's fine. after all, he has a ring.

I hope this is sarcasm. There is no sign of coaching. Zero evidence of preparation (coaching) and it is starting to look as though our team's effort is dropping way off.

Other folks on this board need to stop with the "Flood players" excuse. A good coach could get far more out of these kids.

 

[billhilf]

Why am I even watching this? Glad we punted on fourth down by the way. Took them more time to score so the loss won't be as ugly, I guess?

 

[G- RUnit]

Can't blame Cioffi on that one. Isn't our head coach a d backs coach? No evidence well coached.

 

[D1ESEL44]

Deonte Roberts needs to sit

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I mean even Hester looks slow out there today. How is a TE burning him to get open like that?

 

[RUgrad]

Mercy rule?

 

[dmurph24]

1. still can't cover the big lumbering (favorite red zone target) tight end.
2. I think our helmets need a red stripe.

 

[Mikemarc]

Again, penalties is a huge sign of good coaching.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

That's 106-0 against the two Michigan teams this year so far. That's almost impossible to do.

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

Huh?

the moron (Flood) had his assistant coach almost beat a much better michigan state team we are currently losing 28-0 to.

 

[D1ESEL44]

nice job by Joseph there - good push

 

[Caliknight]

That TD is another great example of our lack of talent. Can't get pressure, LB's are slow to react, safety gets abused by the TE for the catch.

We have less than zero talent.

 

[dmurph24]

State of Michigan 106 Rutgers 0

 

[Mikemarc]

the moron (Flood) had his assistant coach almost beat a much better michigan state team we are currently losing 28-0 to.

And we had a better team too.

 

[RUsince52]

MSU had 8 last week...

Their defense is good, it is their lack of offense that is killing them.

Was killing them. Now it's fixed.

 

[ScarletSince86]

We lack talent, execution and coaching. At least they are well hydrated. The hunt my ***. This is like going in the woods and getting mauled by deer and chipmunks.

 

[RU848789]

Why not Oden here?

 

[D1ESEL44]

Can't blame Cioffi on that one. Isn't our head coach a d backs coach? No evidence well coached.

Cioffi's play has nothing to do with coaching. He is just not very good in coverage. That is why he is the strong safety and not the free safety. He has played poorly this year and at times has played soft and shyer away from playing physical.

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

And we had a better team too.

our team was bad last year michigan state made the college playoffs... both of these teams suck this year and we are getting beat like a drum.

 

[RUBound]

Regardless of the level of talent he has to work with, Ash and staff are learning on the job - there is no single reason for losing like this - it is a combination of many different facets of subpar performance, no different than having a winning combination that requires a total package of coaching and talent. It is what we have to accept for the next 2 to 3 years

 

[G- RUnit]

Love the dive into the line! Love the lateral! So well designed! So well coached! Can we send OC back to Houston?

 

[rucoe89]

No resistance

Lot of DL and OL help needed. Good start on OL, but DL recruiting seems behind, particularly at DT spots.
