Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Football versus UMass

[BillyC80]

Great opening drive for a TD.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Students filling it in…GEE, I’m SHOCKED ‍♂

 

[drewbagel423]

I'm at the boardwalk and there are still a TON of people walking down the street

 

[Caliknight]

Good start for Lonergan and the offense. Pizzaro's leg is way bigger than Patel's. You can tell that from the EP.

 

[Knight Shift]

The official Rutgers radio broadcast on FM radio is time delayed by at least one play. Actually, WRSU broadcast is better!

 

[leftoright]

All over sports radio today was how USC game was so underattended. More empty seats than RU has in its whole stadium. No sweat for first game against 0 and 10 team from last year.

 

[rob kight]

Nice first drive. Great to see 1st play of season was a pass, not a run up the middle. Lonergan perfect 6/6. Duff and Raymond did their thing!

 

[koleszar]

Pass Pro great, run blocking, a lot to clean up.

 

[93RUDoc]

ok, lets see the improvement in defense

 

[bac2therac]

Defense blows already

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

How was that not a penalty- clearly grab his helmet and tore it off?

 

[BillyC80]

Defense sucks again.

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

Defense sucks again.

first few minutes certainly doesn’t look good

 

[Mike2511]

Unreal

 

[bac2therac]

Embarrassing for Greg

7 minute drive vs 1 minute drive

Too early..Greg must go

 

[koleszar]

This is ugly. Linebackers are still lost in space. Allison is slow as sh*t.

 

[kupuna133]

VIOLENCE!!

 

[EddieWilsonLives]

Man that throw to sideline

 

[RUforester72]

Geez

 

[93RUDoc]

Damn it

 

[Dowling's Revenge]

I have a bad feeling

 

[bac2therac]

Anyone still stanning for Greg is being paid by Amy Towers

 

[leftoright]

I love the negativity in the 1st qtr.

 

[masice520]

When’s the last time we had a good defensive lineman

 

[RUfrom NJ]

As bad as anything we watched last year. Get those jitters out

 

[NewJerseyGuy]

Oh well.

Another season of Rutgers football I guess

 

[bac2therac]

I love the negativity in the 1st qtr.

Its a constant of Greg

 

[Caliknight]

Plus side on D- they can line up without looking completely confused.

Negative side- no difference makers and are slow.

Whatever magic Schiano once had on that side of the ball is long gone.

Similar team we've had. Try to grind it out and hope to win in the fourth Q against Big Ten middlings. Upper echelon conference teams will run roughshod on the D.

 

[ScarletDave]

Nice scrambling QB. Once Greg is gone maybe we can have one finally. And maybe learn how to defend one too

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

How was that not a penalty- clearly grab his helmet and tore it off?

Absolutely should’ve been. But they threw the pass downfield anyway so it still would’ve been enough for a first down. The defense looks awful.

 

[rob kight]

How did we not recruit Pop Watson?

 

[Knight Shift]

VIOLENCE!!

Yeah those Minutemen are violent a f.

 

[BillyC80]

D-line getting no push at all.

 

[Ronnie_B]

If this season is a repeat of last year in regards to the defense, Schiano can't survive this.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Plus side on D- they can line up without looking completely confused.

Negative side- no difference makers and are slow.

It looks like we simply have no talent on D. Which is what was expected. Ironically - some of our best defensive talent transferred out. And they have been replaced with FCS / low G5 players. Let’s hope just first drive stuff that can be cleaned up but I’m not optimistic. We couldn’t stop the run at all.

 

[DHajekRC1984]

The whole pre game routine is stale..how many years of tge same EXACT thing

I emailed Keli about doing a little clip,feature about the Cannon like they do with the horse. Reason being it is the 250 year and the unique connection Rutgers has to Hamilton... and the reason the cannon is there.. but i guess it wasnt supported given the game day prodyction changes made .

 

[newell138]

Oh well.

 

[nonamenogame]

Get Allison Out of there! SLOWWWW

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

UMass D is playing with violence

 

[ATH121188]

Raymond needs to hit a hole. Dude keeps shuffling into TFLs
