Typical
Typical for the student base
The last few years, they’ve been more than doing their part when the games matter.
More bad DB play. It’s a fundamental rule in every sport where defensive players cover offensive players. It’s imperative you try to locate the man your marking and the ball. It’s why we don’t get interceptions. They are never making a play for ball. It also allows the offensive players to make a play on the ball with no fear of it being intercepted. It also leads to more penalties because the DB is so fixed on the man.

Most damning is every DB player that leaves or goes to the NFL immediately stops playing this way. It’s dumb, simpleton meathead football.
Much of Schiano’s philosophy stems from a thought process of how we can compensate for having less resources. Probably his thought process is his CBs are not good enough so the ceiling of performance will be to defend the pass as well as they can and not try to also go for INTs.

Does Captain Kirk have more than 5 plays in his plsybook....100% of the Time when Raymond switches from left side of Surace to Right side or is already on right side of Surace the run is LEFT. All you have to is plug holes on left side & it is zero gain or negative yardage

Meathead football. Doing things that don’t work mean you are doing them wrong. It can’t be they just don’t work.

You see all these other teams with imaginative playcalling then you watch our garbage *** playcalling running the same thing over & over again kind of like me in Madden Football back in the day

Rutgers is getting it stuck up their *** by the officials since halftime. Someone got the message from conference officials.

2nd TO Greg's called because he thought they wouldn't get the play off. Both times he was wrong and the snap would have happened.

Lol that is not a good call

they had the officials commentator guy saying it was - he called for a fair catch - he has the right to finish trying to make the catch. Aftet the initial bobble to defender absolutely got in his space - he may have actually touched the ball

btw - could that one commentator be more of a Michigan homer. It’s ridiculous and annoying AF
