Need to be cleaner to win this game. Time management down the stretch not good.

Not sure what Vince Okruch has on his resume that makes him a good special teams coach. I thought ash emphasized the lack of athletes last year but let's see if we improve.

Love the time of possession differential. That's a lot of body blows to absorb.

Will hopefully pay dividends.

Good play the first half but I have to wonder why not Gio if we don't trust the qb to make a big pass once in a while. At least Gio has legs.

Let's hope Bolin shows me why he is the man next half.

More good than bad. Jerry Kill not quite Ralph level but he has fewer tools than Ralph did. Good to see Turay making plays. Your stars have to make plays and they have to get Grant more touches.

Your only losing by 3 to the number 8 team in the country after a half. If I was a Rutgers fan I would be upbeat.
I am. Two punts inside the 1 and then a bobbled punt for a TD is the difference. We are winning the lines (both), and Turay as become a force. We have to win field position in the second half to have a chance. Petersen's adjustments concern me, but then again UW has no film on us.

Me too. We are crowding LOS. If he max protects, Browning could pick us apart deep. 1st possession is crucial

You have to assume Washington plays better in the second half.

so could you guys, stop the special team gafs and you can take control. you are winning the lines and in the long run that normally determines the outcome.

I don't know your team well but hopefully you have some depth to keep that up and they don't get gassed.

RU playing tough ... only down 3 ... getting the kickoff ... at home ... unless Peterson out coaches with adjustments ... effort and toughness is good enough to win if this keeps up ... go Knights!!!!!!!

Our team did not win the line on the drive where they pinned us deep.

It looks like our lines are bigger, stronger and faster than last year. And putting 3 300 pounders on the Dline was genius. That Washington line is an excellent group, one of the best in the country.
We've had horrible field position and down 3 at half. Amazing.

1st half, Kill wanted to run and run, keep the game clock ticking, establish physical mindset with the O-Line.

2nd half, Kill will call plays to win, still run but pass plays on early downs instead of 3rd down.

FS1 Studio crew is giving us some credit, but keep talking about what Wash isn't doing instead of what we are doing to stop them.
They insist the HC should tell them we're re running the ball on every down the 2nd half until we get it right. Now I hope we really win this just to shut those guys up. We can play better also, but nice having so much speed.

lots of lots of game left boys. We just need to get a little bit more creative and open up the offense stretch the field and will be okay

There's nothing more a DL enjoys than knowing they can pin their ears back and just go straight at the offense on series inside the 2 like they had twice. They can sell out for the run since it's what expected to happen.

It is disheartening when special teams play is such a negative
Must be at least six plays on special teams that hurt us
Some are their great plays ...downing punts twice at the one, but add our failures on punt coverage...not just the TD but wasn't the late hit out of bounds by Melton on a punt? Add Grant not getting past the ten on a KO return...ugh...
