    Spread Offense- no FB, no TE

    You can align an offense any way you want and call it whatever you want. Spread - Pro Set - Multiple. Much has to do with formation , line splits , etc. TEs and FBs can certainly be used in a spread style offense. OSU uses 2 TEs in their offense. The Patriots in the NFL use a spread attack...

    Way too early depth chart projection

    Don't see a true freshman starting at QB ..spread- hybrid spread - no spread - whatever.

    CFB Playoffs being on New Year's Eve

    I believe it has to do with the holiday falling on Friday...they prefer Thurs night rather than Friday night. The schedule for these playoffs was put together a few years ago. I remember reading where ESPN asked that they move the games to Friday 1/1/16 and the college football playoff people...

    OT: First Post/Hi from a proud alum

    You mean this isn't an AA meeting? I was apparently misinformed many years ago.

    #FightorFlight - what the hell is this?

    It's a basic psychological stress response and it tends to be more pronounced in males. Basically if confronted with a problem/issue or threat of some perceived kind, the reaction is either to engage and confront it or fly/run from it. In a lifetime .. most people experience both sides of this.

    Currently 15 commits. Ranked 12th in B1G, 53rd in nation.

    Given the train wreck that began in August, the poor on field performance and the coaching change...it's pretty astonishing this class is as highly regarded as it is.

    Rashan Gary's mom none too happy with Will Muschamp

    Welcome to major college football. This is not only commonplace but the norm. I read some online reports that Ash was conveying to OSU recruits when the rumors started to spread about other coaching possibilities , he stated to them he wasn't going anywhere. It's not an easy spot to be in...

    Did our DC or OC get fired?

    Geez...can we actually formally hire and introduce the HC before anyone gets fired? I would think there would be a few coaches from the current staff retained but we'll see what happens.

    OT: In a situation, looking for advice/help/etc...

    I would reach out for professional help...maybe using some of the above information. The important thing is just know that you are not "trapped" and there is help out there and you will be fine. We all go through some very difficult times in our lives...I went through a tough period about 15...

    adios tymir oliver

    Two months to Signing Day. New staff will re-recruit all these guys. If we get a guy that can recruit and sell RU the right way, a large number should come back into the fold. There is a reason they wanted RU in the first place and there isn't a ton of openings at other schools.

    Chip Kelly: should Rutgers wait and see?

    Kelly will be coaching the Eagles next year and Strong will be coaching Texas. Just hire Golden or Ash and let them get to work.

    Golden - how would Hobbs/Barchi ever explain away this?

    I don't understand the vitriol toward Golden. Miami has always had big issues with off field stuff. It starts with the very talented area they recruit from, it has all the problems that many urban areas of the country have. At least he jettisoned the players, some schools don't. That was a...

    OT- Scott Weiland from STP Dead

    Unfortunately, over the years it's become a rock and roll cliché. He was a very good singer. RIP.

    Another Reason Can't be Golden - Divided fanbase Day 1

    The fan base isn't making the decision...thankfully. It would change by the day. The AD and Admin are responsible ..so the always changing opinions of the fan base isn't going to play a big role.

    Everyone write Patrick Hobbs an email saying No to Al Golden

    Some folks live in a delusional world. News Flash....RU isn't Michigan or OSU. Everyone is quick to want to make changes but then when the options become more clear they begin to whine like young kids. Really pathetic on many levels.
