Maybe we’ll throw a couple long balls for fun but I don’t think our staff is looking to establish false confidence that way. Being able to complete long balls against Wagner is meaningless. Our coaches want Gavin playing disciplined. He’s exactly where they want him confidence wise in terms of development. For whatever reason, Gavin’s had the most trouble taking the zip out of the short passes. That has nothing to do with competition level which is why this should be the perfect game for him to work on cleaning that up.

By long- I am also talking 20 - 25 yds down the middle. 15-25 yard outs and such. Plays that you need 3 seconds to develop.
Not so much, the 40 yd in the air throw down the sideline. But we need the confidence in plays that take defenders away from the LOS.
I hear you, but Wagner’s defense is worthless. It doesn’t mean anything to be able to complete those types of vertical passes against them.
It does- it is still against live action and not practice. And it isn't about completing them but are we executing them.
those out patterns weren’t even 10 yards. we’ll see 200 yards rushing and limited passing IMO.
Here is a schedule of every FBS/FCS match for 2023. As you can see most of them are in the first few weeks aka scrimmages.
Interested in seeing the score of the Sacred Heart /UConn game in November.
Wagner beat Sacred Heart this year.

Not foreseeing any problems Saturday but Wagner is not as bad as they were last year. As GS said in the presser last year they came into the game riding a 21 game losing streak. This year they've won their last two.
Yeah, but Rutgers is better than last year at quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end, and offensive line.
On defense they're better on the line, at linebacker, and the secondary.
Agree 100%. But my point is that they're not the absolute bottom of the barrel team that they were last year. Now they're a few inches above the bottom.
From what we’ve seen so far this year, Gavin is already executing the medium and long balls well when he has time. Wagner isn’t going to be able to get to him and their DBs aren’t going to match up well
in coverage. That’s all Im saying. Evan looked like a stud against them last year.
Where in contrast - taking that zip out of the short toss passes without making a shaky throw has been hard for Gavin - for whatever reason. His issues there don’t seem to be related to the defense. He could really benefit from a heavy dose of repetition on this Saturday.
RUTGERS 44 Wagner 0 in front of 45342 announced but peaking at 33765 in the 2nd with only 23332 after halftime and 12350 in the 4th
When they kicked that field goal on the first drive of the game, I thought, maybe it should have been 3 and not 2.

you get the cigar, but have to fight Ali for the greatest claim
I didn’t know Ali ever posted on this board !you get the cigar, but have to fight Ali for the greatest claim
Obviously , I am the greatest here so far
now you're moving the goal posts
That might be your greatest move when claiming greatness.
Very Good Plum
Thank you. I can’t see him getting any next week. 25 yards rushing, 75 passing, 1 pick. Just isn’t a passing threat. Only question is whether the OL can run block to keep the game close.
Shelby says 13-27L
Plum acting like a bum? He is still a legend in his own mind. He can ride on the MBG bus with me and al any time. The question is where would that bus take us?now you're moving the goal posts
