Football GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Illinois

[TGonzRU_rivals]

Nice no timeout call Greg.

 

[Caliknight]

Terrible clock management. But we didn’t turn the ball over

 

[Greg2020]

that was awful clock management.

 

[rurichdog]

For crying out loud. We had a bye week, Illinois had a 9 OT away bruiser and is not a great team. It is so frustrating to watch this team.

Our brand of football is so...unentertaining. It's gut-wrenching.

 

[rob kight]

How was that not PI Defender was holding Langdon’s arm?

 

[DHajekRC84]

Procedure, delay of game. Such end of half focus. This is game eight and not getting better across the team .

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Who can I send photo of hold to ??

i will direct message

 

[Caliknight]

Schianos coaching style is an exercise in how to lose by the least amount of points.

 

[RUboston]

Does Gleeson realize there is a middle of the field.

Losing is unentertaining. Wining is entertaining

This. And I hate to say it, but we look to be badly coached as well. Game prep is meh, adjustments are not there, and we’ve been more undisciplined as the season goes on.

 

[RUScrew85]

Vedral is back

Wow.

 

[DHajekRC84]

How was that not PI Defender was holding Langdon’s arm?

It was but the ball was thrown out of bounds yet again.

 

[rurichdog]

Is it Illinois' homecoming? They stink but the stadium is packed. No better way to get your season on track than to play Rutgers.

 

[Ru-baby]

Think gs had given gleeson free reign

with all those 3 rd down runs perhaps he buts in Wouldnt blame him

 

[jordkap]

we have had so many underperforming players this year…

 

[anvilofstars]

What? They just beat Penn State in 9 ot.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

The 2011 version of Schiano was better.

 

[RUScrew85]

This dopey announcer is sticking to his script (Illini missing opportunities) to a ridiculous extent.

"12 passes, 13 runs. It couldn't be more even."

Uh, 12 and 12, 13 and 13.

 

[RUboston]

Sad to say, we have gotten worse since starting 3-1.

 

[Caliknight]

Our brand of football is so...unentertaining. It's gut-wrenching.

Watching other teams play is like watching a different sport. Our program is boring as ****. Zero sex appeal across the board. As fan I question why I watch.

 

[RUScrew85]

The 2011 version of Schiano was better.

He had more talent. He'll be back

 

[rurichdog]

What? They just beat Penn State in 9 ot.

3-5

 

[Ru-baby]

Last few games we’ve had to take time out because we couldn’t get a playoff. I posted about this in the absurdity of burning a time out to avoid 5 yard penalty it also speaks to the lack of preparation and not being able to get off plays

unrelated why long over youngblood on returns We saw Young blood take a screen into the end zone and then nothing since he has a proven track record let the return focus around him as a deep guy

 

[RUinPAC10land]

The start Cole Snyder crowd should quiet down after today.

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

"12 passes, 13 runs. It couldn't be more even."

Uh, 12 and 12, 13 and 13.

Also said that the pass on a comeback the ILL QB threw was better than the one he threw 40+ yards downfield that dropped into the guys hands.

There was some Facebook meme-question going around a few weeks ago about what TV shows you "hate-watch". I don't have any shows I hate-watch, but Rutgers football pegs the needle on hate-watch.

 

[Caliknight]

All after a bye week where they played a 9 OT game.

Disgrace.

 

[Plum Street]

What? They just beat Penn State in 9 ot.

Yes . When is the last time we beat a top 25 team ?

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

I'm tired hearing about the 9OTs Illinois had to play. Outside of the first two ots that equates to 7 additional plays each for their offense and defense.

 

[Plum Street]

Something is wrong with your math . Seven additional plays over 7 overtimes ? That makes no sense.

 

[rurichdog]

He had more talent. He'll be back

The next Ray Rice and the Under-The-Radar-Lightly-Recruited Offensive Line better be walking through the door soon.

 

[Caliknight]

We didn’t play at all. Should be a huge advantage.

 

[shields]

No pass rush like Mike wrote.

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

So Vedral can play this drive but not the last one

Since I’m not Rutgers on-field trainer, I’m gonna assume there was a reason.

 

[Plum Street]

Unless you’re Rutgers on-field trainer, seriously, stfu

Well, the trainer shouldn’t have sent him in then .

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Something is wrong with your math . Seven additional plays over 7 overtimes ? That makes no sense.

Well it's one play for each side of the ball. Cause it's just dueling 2 point conversions at 3OT.

9OTs does exaggerate the point but it was OT and it was a physical bruising game on the road...that's not exaggerated that's factual.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

After the first two OTs it was 2pt conversions one and done.

Yes you’re right and so is scarlet monster

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

Well, the trainer shouldn’t have sent him in then .

you have no idea what decisions are being made with regards to vedrals condition and why

you know nothing

thus you should stfu
