He handed the ball off better than AJ!

It will be an upset. Howard will win this one to the surprise of all the Schiano cool aid drinkers. After the game Schiano will say that we made some mistakes and will make the appropriate adjustments for the rest of the season.

Great call Nostradamus.
Also the drink is called Kool Aid

I’ve never seen the crowd this small on Tv. Maybe it’s different in person

It was terrible..a tomb.

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

Just me or was that the most unsatisfying 58-7 win in the history of college football?

howard was a bad high school team.

stadium was a morgue.

Indiana most likely gonna do to us what we did to Howard …

 

[RUChet]

Yeah dude, trot out the guy who can't hit a receiver in stride, under throwing him and getting him injured. Brilliant. How much more do we need to see?

It turned out ok didn’t it playing Surace

 

[RUDivision]

Anyone else see Darth muAL in the student section ? Fighting the force for a field house

Not really, he was a disaster, and he may have injured a receiver with a poorly thrown pass.
Have seen enough of him. IDK how the coaches could have claimed the QB competition was close.

You cannot keep your starter in a blowout as you are still trying to salvage the season

we probably both agree we are max a 5 win team but probably more like 3-4 this year, but there is no coach that would not take out his starter tonight

Maybe we are missing each other. I agree it was time to take Lonergan out.

My point was after 2 series, AJ should have been pulled.
Said it above, at this point, no harm in giving Ashenfelder more time when AJ's performance is poor. Nothing left to lose there, IMO, but we can disagree.

Ashendelder is not good. He was lightly recruited and nobody has said he’s ready to compete. Many say he’ll soon be passed by Stearn. He didn’t attempt one pass. Surace is further along and he needs time

look back at Teel’s first year playing vs second and third. He progressed a lot.

Lonergan looks better but Surace may end up just fine - it’s his first few games playing

Teel really wasn't above average until his senior year and had two NFL receivers in Britt and Underwood.

That fact, and your last sentence, goes back to how Greg is never able to successfully develop a QB that's ready to step in and play. He refuses to play underclassmen and get them meaningful snaps unless there is nobody ahead of them.

Not for nothing but DL also had a terribly under thrown pass that could have gotten Duff hurt. Neither one of them are great.

 

[RUboston]

Good to get a win, but meaningless. A further indictment of GS. Losses to UMass and BC remain inexcusable, particularly in year 7 of the second go round. Bonehead coaching decisions vs. USC. 1-3 vs. 4-0 with better coaching and talent evaluation.

I will say it again even though they were more than 40 point favorites against a Howard team that didn’t stand a chance against them, kudos to Greg Schiano in getting his 100th win as a FBS coach. It really is an achievement. However, it was sad that he had to accomplish this achievement against such a weak opponent. It’s not quite as bad as an injured star running back being handed the ball at the one yard line and walking it in as the other team’s players step out of the way so that the current star could break the record of a prior star, but it was not an impressive way to accomplish this feat.

I hope that this isn’t the last win in Greg Schiano’s career as a major college coach. Hopefully, he will last the season and get a few more wins without the need for Rutgers to go with an interim head coach. I remember what it was like having Greg Schiano as coach the first time around. His leaving Rutgers was a huge loss for Rutgers and for Greg Schiano and it no longer seems like he will be able to get Rutgers back to anything similar to where we were a mere 20 years ago with him as head coach. It’s just sad.

So typical of our nutcase, remember when he was actively cheering for Virginia Tech?

He’s a statue back there. I don’t know how a kid that grew up in a football household with private trainers his entire life be so fundamentally flawed. He stands on his heels flat footed and throws off his back foot. Saw him in high school a couple of times ( awful competition in Mercer county) and looked to be better prepared. He’s seriously regressed in the 3 years in the program.

100 wins is an achievement if is achieved in 10-12 years. It’s not an achieve in 18 years. Rutgers is the only place that embraces an overall losing record as an achievement.

To me passing the ball with a lead of 40 points or more in the 4th quarter, against such an inferior opponent, is a sign of a desperate coach. He has never been a coach who has a good handle on game situations and in this situation, you just run, run and run the ball. If you score running the ball then so be it, but to throw is an embarrassment.
