Rutgers vs Penn State / Game Thread

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

We have three plays in the play book. Our OC couldn't think of more than three plays to install.

Football Gods: Tryna help ya out here RU...Meet us halfway

RU (besides the defense) doing everything we can to lose right now.

 

[miketd1]

Penn State's quarterback is horrible. But he's Tom Brady compared to Laviano.

PSU has enough talent to get away with this guy.

 

[RUTrack94]

Taking 25 down as well ... Just unload on anyone ... Not 1 yard! Not 1 yard. Oops, that's our offense.

 

[RUBand]

That would have been a huge int

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

25 for PSU looks to be done for the game

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

9-0 going into half-time to the 8th team?

I will take it for now.

 

[CERU00]

Laviaono is probably better. If anything indistinguishable and tools acting like gio should have started day one. Gosh darn clueless fools. Step up and admit it.

You're starting to sound like Skyler. At least Gio gave us some touchdowns.

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

Gio took a knee with almost a minute in the half. haha

 

[KJB32812]

He isn't his best tonight but the Sanders non-catch was a big one.

 

[MGSA99]

66 yards of offense. Yeach.

 

[LevaosLectures]

Wait, we do a shotgun victory formation? hilarious

 

[miketd1]

Nobody comes into this house without paying the price.

Not here.

Not ever.

 

[KnightFan]

we literally have a qb in who isn't allowed to throw.......

Which is the most Rutgers thing ever

 

[RUBand]

"Penn State has twittled around" at least give RU some credit

 

[TonyLieske]

Ash happy to only be down by 9.

Laviano is a better passer. If Gio can't run he is worse than Laviano.

Seriously, what the f***?

 

[Block R]

9-0 going into half-time to the 8th team?

Absolutely. But those offensive statistics are telling. We must figure out a way to move the ball in the 2nd half or the game is already over. And I can't take any more moral victories this year.

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

The defense is playing very well and keeping the score low. They can't keep it up all night though.

 

[rutgers4life11]

Mehringer

 

[rucoe89]

Trust the process guys.

So we are trying to go 1-0 this week? :grimace:

 

[drewbagel423]

Have we had any yet?

 

[RUboston]

We have a zero dimensional offense. Nothing works.

 

[Rufaninga]

Run game is at least chewing clock. 1 score after half and it's game on. Boring play calling, but it's a game and not a blow out. Small steps....

GO RU, knock PSU out of contention!!!

 

[rucoe89]

PSU has enough talent to get away with this guy.

And pretty much younger than our team :weary:

 

[LMTLION]

Not trying to be a Jerk but why would you take a knee? You have nothing to lose and we are completely out of sync.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

RU is giving it the good ole college try but it's a matter of time until the dam breaks.

With that said, it could be a closer game or even a RU lead if not for horrendous play calling and personnel decisions by Mehreninger and the fact that RU does not have a legit placekicker.

 

[Rokodesh]

Not trying to be a Jerk but why would you take a knee? You have nothing to lose and we are completely out of sync.

Because we suck

 

[MGSA99]

How many games have we failed to score before halftime? That has to be a D1 record. Mehringer must go.

 

[Scarlet Haze]

how do we only pass five times in a half? And zero times in a quarter. No wonder we cant move the ball. 20 runs vs 5 passes ....reminds me of Flood trying to establish the run game until we lose. We need to pass the entire second half because running is getting us no where. Defense playing pretty good and still in game

 

[bethlehemfan]

Gio is far superior when he is able to run and at least as good when he isn't (like tonight). Laviano is done. I appreciate all the effort he put in but he just isn't capable of running this offense. Move on.

Haha what evidence do you have

 

[Rokodesh]

Absolutely. But those offensive statistics are telling. We must figure out a way to move the ball in the 2nd half or the game is already over. And I can't take any more moral victories this year.

Game was over at 3-0

 

[Block R]

Which is the most Rutgers thing ever

Although we're not playing Princeton in football today, we are commemorating the first game by not throwing the ball since the forward pass didn't come around until 1906.

 

[RU Mike73]

66 yards total offense. Uuuuugh

 

[bethlehemfan]

I think you've had enough to drink.

You're a tool

 

[RUboston]

Here is Coach Ash at half time:

 

[bethlehemfan]

You're starting to sound like Skyler. At least Gio gave us some touchdowns.

How many two? Haha. Clueless

 

[miketd1]

Not trying to be a Jerk but why would you take a knee? You have nothing to lose and we are completely out of sync.

We run the Prevent Offense.

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

We may as well have a running back as the QB.
