Rutgers vs Indiana / Game Thread

[Scarlet_Monster]

Jesus Christ can't go FOUR FREAKING DOWNS WITHOUT A PENALTY ON OUR OFFENSE

Nevermind they picked up the flag.

 

[jordkap]

Down 17, 4th and 1... Ash actually showing some balls and going for it

Ash went for it on 4th down last week from his own 19.

I'm convinced he is letting McNulty decide if/when to go for it.

 

[RUSK97]

Just posted this in another thread: despite the bad d, if we were capable of scoring, this would still be a halfway decent game

If not for that INT in the endzone...we might be in this game.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Ooof that was a very late hit.

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

Bo Melton showed some speed.

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

Take those hits, Art — getting us 15 yards a clip

 

[Ridge 22]

Roughing the passer is our most productive offensive play

 

[RC85]

Bo Melton showed some speed.

still 7-10 yds overthrown

 

[Foads]

Is it me or is Cole getting beat on a regular basis.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Is it me or is Cole getting beat on a regular basis.

Apparently he's been playing hurt for 2+ weeks

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

Gotta catch that

 

[RC85]

PI come on refs

 

[jordkap]

Sit has receivers with a step deep and throws it too far or too short every time. How he overthrows Melton, I’m not sure, but it wouldn’t be us if he didn’t.

 

[RUeric]

3 straight passes 20+ yards down field.

 

[RobertG]

Is it me or is Cole getting beat on a regular basis.

He looks real bad

 

[RUSK97]

Look downfield...WTH are our receivers never open?

 

[rurichdog]

I don't see how we win another game. This is some piss poor offense.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

Indiana D is not very good either. If we were even marginally good we could beat this team.

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

Look downfield...WTH are our receivers never open?

Melton was open, Blackshear had his guy by half a step, tough to tell on the 3rd down ball but Art threw it off his back foot so it was underthrown.

 

[ScarletDave]

2 touchdowns on that drive given up by bad execution. Overthrown by Sit to Melton and then a total drop by Blackshear. Can’t blame the coaches for those plays. 24-14 is a game

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

These third downs are hard to watch

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

2 touchdowns on that drive given up by bad execution. Overthrown by Sit to Melton and then a total drop by Blackshear. Can’t blame the coaches for those plays. 24-14 is a game

same could be said on IU, they have 10 points off the board due to execution.

look at the penalties, coaching my friend is BEYOND abysmal for us

 

[Rokodesh]

Best quarter in Ash’s tenure, no points given up

 

[ScarletDave]

I’m starting to get really sick of Deonte Roberts. Maybe he’s our best linebacker (not saying much) but his effort is terrible you could make a highlight reel of him not giving a crud

 

[Foads]

If Cole is injured he needs to sit. He is one of the major reasons our offense can’t do anything.

 

[rurichdog]

We don't attack on offense.
We don't attack on defense.
And we wonder why we lose?

 

[kcg88]

Guy with the Believe flag is the fastest guy we've put on the field today

 

[MikeRU09]

All this dumbash had to do is recruit DL and OL the past 3 years and we would have been more or less “rebuilt.”

The Ash excitement is dead... we need new blood to reignite “something” recruiting wise..

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

Look downfield...WTH are our receivers never open?

There's a catch to it. Sitkowski looks down the receiver and makes it easy for the defender to stick close because the defender knows where the ball is going.

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

We don't attack on offense.
We don't attack on defense.
And we wonder why we lose?

Haha well when we try to attack on offense we miss receivers who have their defenders by two-three steps

 

[jordkap]

Guy over the center with an offsides penalty, camera pans to Chris Ash. Guy isn’t mad, he just walking around talking casually. Get fired up! Holy crap, maybe if you showed some fire the players would too.

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

We need to score three times in 12 mins — why am I still watching

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I am 100% convinced the IU head coach is purposely not throwing the ball

.

...And that the band has about 30 less people than it did for the last home game

 

[RUSK97]

OMG

 

[Ridge 22]

Arts deep balls are consistently overthrown by 5-10 yards

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

Down 24-7 in the 4th we get creative

 

[Jumba72]

Can you feel it?

 

[gef21]

Indiana being 100% has nothing to do with youth. Even young guys will occasionally be in position to make a play.

And they have been in position to make some plays. We just forced a turnover.

 

[RUSK97]

There's a catch to it. Sitkowski looks down the receiver and makes it easy for the defender to stick close because the defender knows where the ball is going.

On any given pass play, there’s three possible receivers. They’re all blanketed. Like that INT in the endzone. When the camera pulls back, all the receivers are covered. There was no one for Art to go to.
