Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Football versus Northwestern

[RW90]

Funny thing is....Chip Kelly hasn't even come close to "opening up the playbook" today.....oooof.

With this defense he doesn’t have to.

 

[rutgersguy2]

Another explosive run and poor tackling

 

[RU#1fan]

Greg you don’t need to squint to look at the Video scoreboard. #41 missed another tackle. TD

 

[RUChet]

Ian Strong does not have it any better at Cal.

Cal is 3-4 and leading ranked SMU at SMU so…

plus my point is he knew what was there when he left

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Anyone else tired of this ****? Look forward all week to the game and we continuously get this.

 

[Knight Shift]

Allison again

His aim is not true. The football world is killing him.

 

[RUChet]

What was it:

Surace must be good or else Duff would have left?

Duff got enough money to stay and wanted to stay local - not everyone is a “move around guy”

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Guess Ian Strong knew there would be a big QB drop off.

And yes, at least the staff was right: DL is better than AJ

but how come so many teams play RU with their backup QB and always have a career day but our backup QBs are never good

Ian strong draft stock has TANKED . So whatever one time payment he got (that RU had money to match or come close) , he’s now lost . While Duff is a top 3 WR and climbing the first round boards

At this point I’m hanging on because I can’t wait for the angry/depressed/disgusted pod from @Richie O and company

 

[kupuna133]

Not a Fundementally sound team. Every week it’s the same thing. It’s not a talent thing it’s preparation and ideology.

 

[Anon1753410373]

Not helmet to helmet???

 

[RU-Hunter]

Glad we called a timeout

 

[RU#1fan]

Anyone else tired of this ****? Look forward all week to the game and we continuously get this.

Looking more forward to when we name a new real Head Coach.

 

[Caliknight]

Of you take a 3 step drop shouldn’t you just get rid of the ball?

 

[Rutgers25]

Nothing against Allison, because he’s trying his hardest but Greg has fallen so far that he’s starting a DIII player out there.

 

[dconifer0]

Dang, you guys have some good runners...

 

[rutgersguy2]

Duff got enough money to stay and wanted to stay local - not everyone is a “move around guy”

I always say every individual is different. Money, playing time, fit to system etc…are all variables that matter differently to each player. Even the same player may value things differently from one point in his career to another.

 

[bac2therac]

Now Greg running the clock out

 

[kupuna133]

Kirk it’s no surprise when the qb walks towards the line of scrimmage and “audibles” that he’s handing the ball off.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Not a Fundementally sound team. Every week it’s the same thing. It’s not a talent thing it’s preparation and ideology.

exactly ! nW doesn’t have 25 points better in a half talent than RU! In fact I’d bet our HS ranking have been significantly better than theirs over last 3 years.
The biggest difference is they have a top third in conference QB, we have the worst or second to worst.
and they have a creative looking offense , and their defense has a gd pulse

I have 3 kids. 2 want to travel and see the world. 1 wants to stay put.

 

[Steve91562]

Not the agent. Schiano compiled a binder of all his own excuses over the years. Has anyone lost more ?

Hobbs loved his binders. Ash, Hobbs, Schiano 2.0, really buried Rutgers football.

 

[Knight Shift]

Surace diving head first, trying to end his misery

 

[RW90]

Zero accuracy from Surace with zero pressure

 

[RUDiddy777]

I was concerned about missing second half bc we have to head to airport in PHX. Thanks, Greg for fixing the issue!

I was worried about getting a late start running errands. Also, thanks to Greg for ensuring I didn’t miss much.

 

[RU-Hunter]

Announcers doing their best to make the game sound competitive

 

[RUChet]

116 yards for a half is an embarrassment

we aren’t playing OSU!

 

[AdventureHasAName]

1. We could play with 13 on defense and it wouldn't make a difference, and
2. I say this every year, but the third string QB on the lower level Texas college teams (North Texas, Texas State, etc) are all better than what we have and they would kill to start at a Big Ten school, and
3. Someone at peacock needs to make the commercial break music 75% quieter. Im trying to take a nap and it keeps waking me up.

 

[RUboston]

Season was lost after UMass. Let the miserable season play out. Kelli should meet with GS the morning after the MI State game and end this relationship.

 

[Wagram97]

Have some life? Seriously? Give props to the announcers for trying to keep interest in the game.

 

[RW90]

“Rutgers has some life now”

Bwahahahahaha!!!!!

 

[Caliknight]

And he stares down his receivers constantly. At least glance toward another part of the field occasionally.

He’s got the worst field sense of any coach’s kid I’ve ever seen. Either Greg ruined him or he never had it.

 

[RUTrack94]

some positives …
1. 2 scores
2. over 100 yards offense
3. got 1 sack
4. 2 stops on defense

 

[Caliknight]

Ian Strong does not have it any better at Cal.

They beat Auburn.

 

[Anon1753410373]

Time to find more exciting things to do..

Cincinnati up 24-6 over Texas Tech

 

[Caliknight]

At least you guys have a head coach...

None is better than this one.

 

[RUDiddy777]

So is his agent. They played Hobbs like a guitar

In fairness to Hobbs, he didn’t want him.

 

[kupuna133]

He’s got the worst field sense of any coach’s kid I’ve ever seen. Either Greg ruined him or he never had it.

Saw him play a couple of times in high school. Played in a horrible conference against bad competition. But he was an athlete. Had good wheels and threw a nice ball. He has seriously regressed. Said in another thread. He doesn’t understand pocket passer or quiet feet. He thinks that means stand still and cement shoes.

NW Fans POV: “why spend all that money to watch a blowout vs a borderline G6 team”

Alternative - "It's a beautiful fall day. Nice to spend some time in the sun and watch an easy win

 

[RUDiddy777]

Where’s Al?
