Rutgers vs Nebraska / Game Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Not kidding at all. We were neck and neck with Nebraska...in Lincoln..all game.
How is that terrible..?? As you said we were one of the worst teams ever last year. In a year competing vs a decent team on the road is a BIG improvement.
We're trying to beat the spread evidently.
Our team is penalized a lot...often at inopportune times. That's coaching. Very Flood-esque. Missed tackles galore. 4th down run up the middle after you just got stuffed. There is more. All on the coaches.
Ash seems like your typical assistant coach from a big school who did well with good talent, and a HC who was able to make good decisions in game and inspire his team.
Ash may turn it around, but it will be a surprise if he does.
I wasn't looking at the record this year, but wanted to see a more complete team who has an identity and will to win and go for attitude.
This was a decimated Nebraska team. Sure, they still had more talent, but they were teetering. This game was there to be had. You can put some of the blame on the players, but not all. Lots to go around.
Ash just isn't inspiring. Even if he had talent he will play really close games against teams we shouldn't.
GS, without the bravado or inspiration.
Ash punts?? Head scratching to say the least. Sorry but does not inspire any confidence or leadership.
Schiano did.

Please stop with the neck and neck with Nebraska.
Nebraska is 1-2 and just lost to Northern Illinois. They are not a good team

This team is much improved but unless the safe philosophy changes our ceiling will be fairly low. Safe works a lot when you have superior talent but there are MANY programs in our conference that will ALWAYS have superior talent to us. We will never beat those teams unless we develop a risk taking mentality as a fundamental part of our style. This is not the Big East.
And to think Ash mortgaged some future to bring in these one year transfers that will be gone next year, the future doesn't even look bright. He brought them in to win some games this year yet we lost to Eastern bleeping Michigan and the worst team Neb has put on the field in 30 years. Tell me where another W is going to come from ? Lovie's Illinois squad? I doubt it
this nebraska team is awful, their coach is getting fired at the end of the season.
Hope Ash enjoyed putting Lewis out there for those two downs when we had a chance to step on their throats and the O was working.
Because that's all he's going to get from trying that in this game.

Punting there removes any comeback without an Onside kick almost impossible. Ash is not showing good judgment as a coach.
You mean you don't understand the logic of putting our obviously exhausted defense back out on the field?
Ash: "As long as we keep it close"
We are still the cure to anyone's ailments. A down team in disarray just schedule Rutgers. O and the blow job fest for Nebraska from this BTN crew is getting ridiculous.
Much better than last year--absolutely. To be fair, it would be hard to be worse. But this game is troubling as it was ripe for the taking. Nebraska is a bad team and we blew it. Their coach will be gone by the end of the year.
And it isn't neck and neck. We had 1 first down all second half. That's not neck and neck.
We suck less. Still miles and miles away from respectable.
what we what we saw today was not a talent issue. This team is poorly coached. I'm surprised at how bad Nebraska really is
That's my point. And next year we will be "much better" again. And be even more competitive.
Anyone who thought this was a 2 year fix is out of their minds.
the reason why the reason why we're better than last year's because we actually have an offense of coordinator that knows what he's doing. We still are not a good team and it looks like Nebraska is content to just let the clock wine down just by running the ball
Still waiting for that 1st misdirection or trick play. Maybe in week 5.
Nebraska is horrible.
Hats of to their fans though. Many still in the stadium. I want to go to a game there.

Did Ash get a Gatorade bath last week? I feel bad because if not, he'll never ever get one. He'll be gone after a 1-11 season and no one will hire him as a head coach again.
It is a talent issue. Rutgers is forced to play a lot of guys who have no business being on the field. You cant hide this many untalented players.
Down 10 with 2 minutes left and we didn't try to block the punt. Our coaches are f'n morons.
Winnable game but shows Ash is lacking and looking more and more like not the answer. How many more punt returns for TDs that absolutely kill us? Playing to keep it close rather than the win? Sure looks it.
