Football GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Indiana

[RU#1fan]

#21 burned again

 

[zebnatto]

WTF!

 

[RU#1fan]

Every game. Why is #21 out there ?

 

[Joey Bags]

This is what happens when you continuously go 3 and out after getting a turnover

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Sack him somehow please

 

[zebnatto]

No seven!

 

[DHajekRC84]

Hope you folks don't think our offense has been great today..

 

[RU848789]

How did Turner miss that sack by the way?

 

[RUTBAY1]

Rampant holding by IU O-line. GS needs to talk to refs before halftime.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

No stomach for 7

 

[ScottRU93]

Tre Avery stinks

 

[zebnatto]

Watch fake!

 

[RUb-it-in]

He's called a pretty good game, but got too excited about Langan's running

17-3 halftime

 

[mikebal9]

Time to leave this thread. It's 17-3 at halftime, on the road, and we've got people complaining. We've given up one play all day. One. Please get some perspective.

 

[BeantownKnight]

Awww great.. no shutout.

 

[Joey Bags]

f***** ridiculous end to the half.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

damn it gave them 3pts because of a high school-level blown coverage

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

This all went south when Millen went away

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

hard to complain when we are winning but we had a few chances to score even more.

hopefully we can make some halftime adjustments and play even better in the 2nd half.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

It’s hard to be disappointed with where we are, up 14 at half. But +4 turnover margin in our favor, we missed opportunities.

If you go by our conference averages there is a strong change we've scored out last points of the game. That's why it's frustrating. Especially when we routinely go three and out after turnovers due to the most conservative center runs imaginable.

Reaching ridiculous- blatant arm pulls, etc.

 

[ScottRU93]

Winning 17-3 or not offense does not look good. Defense has been very good bedside Tre “I like it be burned” Avery.

 

[RU848789]

Huge blunder to allow a 47 yard play on a 20 yard pass - what the hell was Avery doing on that play? If you're not going to stop the pass, at least make the tackle. If he makes that tackle, far harder to get into FG position.

We need this win badly and momentum has completely shifted IU’s way. We forced 4 TOs, but only have 17pts. And they play the second half with that frosh QB who looks like the real deal.

Refs have not been good at all. Missed PI, lots of holding.

 

[Richie O]

 

[realhoops2]

Avery is trash

I don't know what happen to him but he can't stay with anyone and frequently is not close enough to make the tackle after the catch

 

[RUb-it-in]

The only reason we are winning this game is because of 4 fumbles and int. Offensive play calling sucks for what our strengths and weaknesses are.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Whenever Rutgers gets a lead of 14 pts+, their play calling is just so generically conservative under Schiano, 1.0 or 2.0, to not to do something stupid but giving the opposing teams many opportunities to get back into the game. I wish Greg would continue to put the pedal down in the 2nd quarter and continue to extend the lead instead of shortening the game in the 2nd quarter.

 

[RU848789]

IU actually has more yards than us 161 to 138 - we obviously need to move the ball better, as we can't expect more TOs from them.

Because it's 17 to 3 on 4 Indy turnovers and Rutgers couldn't keep them off the scoreboard from like 80 yards away with a minute left. And Rutgers offense couldn't even get a first down and or run clock from mid field.
Are we winning cause we're dominating them or because they are making the mistakes? Who's got momentum right now?
Yeah, seen it before bud and concerned.
I'll go too and try and watch This broadcast and we'll see what happens 2nd half. Hope we kick a$$.

 

[DavidJM]

Mistake was taking Tuttle out of the game?

 

[zebnatto]

Bowl riding on second half. Think I'll watch hoops.

Honestly, the game was over if he stayed in.

I’m pretty sure it was Avery GS was specifically chewing out during the timeout afterwards.

Oh good grief, I thought it was 2 central.

This is it exactly. Greg tries to run out the clock in the second quarter. Where is the killer instinct?
