RU 2

RU forces a three-and-out to end USC's first possession. We see a glimmer of hope. RU then amazingly takes the lead with a safety on the Trojan's second drive. We're completely pumped in disbelief. RU doesn't capitalize on the subsequent drive. We get our first sense that something awful is going to happen. USC goes on to score on every subsequent possession for the remainder of the game--a record-breaking total of 87 unanswered points. Our worst fears are confirmed, as usual.

Rutgers “fans” don’t get to their seats until the 2nd quarter anyway. They may as well just stay in the parking lot getting even more drunk.
Ah I remember the old Big East Days when Miami and VT were still around.... You could pick an unused ticket up off the ground in the lots.

I believe your assessment is spot on. Their defense, actually, may suck…but they still hang 40+ on RU
Their D definitely doesn't suck. It's light years better than last year. They brought in a bunch of studs and Gary Patterson actually has them hitting people now.

They will shut down Schiano/KC phone booth offense real quick. On offense, they will light up our D like it's a Christmas tree. And they won't have a lot of sympathy while doing it. Weather will be Rutgers best friend to mitigate the embarrassment.

They were in control of both of those game. They were beating SJS 35-3 going into the fourth quarter where they started playing 3/4/5 string guys.

Louisiana is way better than us. And SC called off the dogs. If they don't put up at least 50+ I'll be shocked.
