Rutgers vs Indiana / Game Thread

love the execution on that play! Now watch IU go right down the field

 

[RUfubar_rivals]

there's lots of glaring weaknesses but my eye test tells me that they have not given up

One play run, almost at midfield.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

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.

One of the biggest issues I have with receivers is when they know the ball not coming their way. There is little hustle on their part and they don't realize the impact it has on the play.

One play run, almost at midfield.

Well...also a costly penalty

 

[rucoe89]

Is it stupidity or youth with some players?

 

[RUaMoose_rivals]

Get off the field on 3rd down dog-gonnit!!!

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

The ball can be advanced through the air, and we still aren’t sure how to address that dimension of the game.

 

[kcg88]

Our defense looked great when Indiana started running a vanilla playbook. Otherwise, nope.

 

[RUaMoose_rivals]

What’s their 3rd down percentage— 90 ?

 

[RC85]

dagger that 3rd down conversion

 

[rucoe89]

And on queue, the defense continues its weak play after offense gives some hope. Just disappointing.

 

[jordkap]

Well...also a costly penalty

Ash after the penalty, looks at the player, doesn’t say a word to them... no fire... literally none. Why should the players play with any?

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

Trevor Morris cannot catch. That has been made clear this season

 

[jordkap]

On cue. Chris Ash burns a timeout he will end up needing if they plan on winning this game.

 

[RUSK97]

Trevor Morris cannot catch. That has been made clear this season

Well that’s why he’s on D. Our receivers can’t catch either.

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

Well, maybe that’s why he’s on D. You know our receivers can’t catch either right?

Yeah, don’t get me wrong, his job isn’t to catch the ball. But that’s the second or third to hit him in the hands this year—catching that ball would be helpful.

 

[RUSK97]

Yeah, don’t get me wrong, his job isn’t to catch the ball. But that’s the second or third to hit him in the hands this year—catching that ball would be helpful.

Sorry, I know what you mean. Sigh...just frustrated.

 

[gef21]

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

Another play.

 

[LevaosLectures]

We're actually competing at least

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Hilliman got ragdolled on that one.

 

[RUeric]

What a dogshit effort by Hilliman on that block.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

Gio wins this game, no doubt in my mind

 

[RUboston]

Melton could have caught that ball.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

This will be the USF in 2013 for Chris Ash.

Backing into a competitive game will save his job.

Then again, if the November schedule lives up to the brutality it should deliver, he may not survive if his team puts up 4 goose eggs.

 

[RU_fan435]

Where was this against Buffalo and Kansas????

 

[RUsince52]

Just no touch on the long ball and bad direction sometimes. You don't learn those things, it's inherent or not. But he has thrown some good balls today.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

IU is not that good on D, don't be deceived here. IU has also been inconsistent on O all year. I'm telling you, Gio wins this game for us

 

[jordkap]

Ash is killing this team with timeout management. Burns five timeouts today for no reason. He is a terrible coach anyway you slice it.

 

[RUeric]

Unreal we have to call another TO because the WR's can't get lined up properly. Would have been illegal formation if the ball was snapped.

 

[R U Crazy]

Rutgers burning timeout...almost assures if they score will have to try an onside kick,

ON the penalty for a pick.....RU WR looked wide open, why did Sit throw deep?

 

[soundcrib]

Indiana is taking it easy on us. They know it’s in the bag.

 

[rurichdog]

Ref just killed us with the Offensive pass interference penalty. Good night fans.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

nope, we lose all the rest of our games and that is the statistic that will be remembered. Hobbs needs to figure a way out of this mess

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Another time out wasted. Really awful game management.

 

[gef21]

Just no touch on the long ball and bad direction sometimes. You don't learn those things, it's inherent or not. But he has thrown some good balls today.

You absolutely learn those things.

 

[ScarletDave]

Indiana coach excellent use of a timeout. Killed all momentum. Opposite of our coach timeout management

 

[soundcrib]

Why is Art’s footwork always going backwards?!

 

[R U Crazy]

RU needs to keep an offensive coordinator for a few season.
McNulty has a proven record at RU and other stops.

At least we are in the game 4th qtr.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Shame something happened to all those time outs you had Coach.

Hopefully they won't bite you in the ***.
