When you're actually not on the field, it does appear as if Art is locking on to one receiver, but if you can see it from the end zone, he's not. Art is cutting the field in half to help him make quicker reads by only watching two receivers instead of the whole field.

Not a shining moment for one of our distinguished alums.

But on the bright side I’m really liking the defensive play calling. The blitz was MIA last year for the most part. That speaks to the coaches belief in the secondary.

I don't know why Rutgers would roll out Art on a pass play. It's not his strength, and you limit his ability to be on target when he throws. He's a pro-style QB for a reason.

I disagree. He isn't Doug Flutie, but he isn't Tom Brady either. He is certainly athletic enough to throw on the run. He just made a poor decision, but he looked very fluid doing it.

We are going to have to move the pocket and throw in those situations against teams like OSU with beefy DL's.

Savage did that in his second year and it was painful to watch. Art has to trust his pre-snap reads and trust the timing. He's double clutching the ball. Understandable since he's young, and he'll have film to study this week that he'll benefit from here forward.

I'm telling you from a DB POV if you're not great at doing that, you're playing right into the defense hand. You're helping the defense. TSU can't handle Art in the pocket, so why good away from his strength?

Rutgers has taken its foot off the throat of TSU...why? I can say the play calling has been on par with the first half.

If WR doesn’t lineup in backfield, it’s 28-0. Instead 2 ints in 5 passes.

O needs to play smart with frosh qb.

Agreed - he made a couple of good throws on the rollout in the spring game.
