Football GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Illinois

[Barnaby&Neill]

Third and long from outside of the 20 yard line is a lock for 0 points with this team

 

[mildone_rivals]

Vedral is still Vedral…

Vedral’s having a good game. He can’t catch the passes too.

 

[newell138]

Is Melton hurt?

 

[Rutgers56_rivals]

Why would you ever send the kid out to try that FG? Laughable coaching. Clueless.

 

[Caliknight]

Lol are you serious ?

Very. No real program plays such an old school conservative style. Except Illinois. They are better at it apparently.

This is all an incredible bore.

Rutgers Fans when we dont get the first down throwing to the guy 10 yds downfield : "Why dont we hit the guy in the flat when he was so open- Vederal is so Vederal"

Rutgers Fans when we throw to the flat and dont get the first : " Why is Rutgers so stupid and dont even throw beyong the sticks

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

How did this offense become so incompetent?

Doesn’t seem incompetent today with Vedral in. Just can’t finish

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Illinois should throw every play. We can’t stop them.

 

[rurichdog]

I'm switching to Michigan/Michigan State. No use watching bad bad football and only catching the real sporting events on the highlight shows.

 

[brgRC90]

Until Schiano changes his ideas on offense it doesn't matter who is on his offense. It's going to stink.

 

[DHajekRC84]

When was the last time we forced a turnover?

2 weeks ago at halftime when I changed channel.

 

[Block R]

Ambrosio is hit or miss from 35, why bother from 46

Seriously. Just go for it there if you’re not going to punt.

 

[RUb-it-in]

Not getting to the QB...

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Just fair catch all punts

 

[jordkap]

Avery Young is a terrible returner. Go forward!!!!

 

[jkernpop]

Remove him from returning punts I beg you

 

[DHajekRC84]

A. Young is terribly slow.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Why is Avery Young ahead of Youngblood returning punts?

 

[RUb-it-in]

Where's Aaron Lewis today?

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Young should take the cement blocks off his feet before taking the field.

 

[Caliknight]

Young is slow and afraid. But he held on to the ball.

 

[Greg2020]

Sanders drop terrible, Ambrosio kick terrible. He can't be the kicker moving forward.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Until Schiano changes his ideas on offense it doesn't matter who is on his offense. It's going to stink.

I’m not sure what you guys think we should be doing. We don’t finish big plays. And nobody seems able to break a tackle and take it to a house. It’s hard to sustain grind style play the whole length. We have plenty of first downs today. It’s not that we can’t move the ball.

 

[jkernpop]

Why is Avery Young ahead of Youngblood returning punts?

Just doesn’t make sense!

 

[RUSK97]

Is Melton hurt?

Which one? Bo was in on the last drive.

 

[DHajekRC84]

A. Young is terribly slow.

As my dad used to say " if he was any slower he'd be going backwards"...well he does.

 

[Caliknight]

Why is Avery Young ahead of Youngblood returning punts?

Guessing Youngblood fumbled in practice once.

 

[Letitrip]

Avery Young is a terrible returner. Go forward!!!!

That return really showed his lack of "return" speed. He had a nice alley if he could have taken that corner.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Only 90 yards to go

 

[rob kight]

At this point I will take an ugly win. As long as it is a win

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Where's Aaron Lewis today?

Did not make the trip. Don't know why.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Is Melton hurt?

No they’re both playing. Bo seems to have lost his ability to create separation. Only explanation is he’s not 100%.

 

[Caliknight]

You gotta keep on that chop

 

[RUboston]

Avery Young is a terrible returner. Go forward!!!!

He ran 35 yards sideways to gain a yard

 

[DHajekRC84]

Just doesn’t make sense!

He's better in practice vs. our coverage.

 

[Joey Bags]

Why would you ever send the kid out to try that FG? Laughable coaching. Clueless.

He made em last year

 

[Shelby65]

Been saying forever. Get used to it because he’ll demand a lifetime contract as soon as he wins 2 league games

 

[Block R]

At this point I will take an ugly win. As long as it is a win

So before the game you would only have accepted a beautiful win?

 

[tychicus_rivals329926]

We going to win, in greg we trust
