Football GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Illinois

[Scarlet_Monster]

The refusal of attempting any pass over the middle of the field is absolutely comical.

 

[RU848789]

Nice stop on D!

 

[rob kight]

Good stop

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Good stop, need the field tilted in our favor.

 

[ScarletDave]

Run up the middle on 3rd and 8 from the opponents 40 yard line. Why do I continue to watch

 

[RU848789]

What kind of return was that? Was he strolling? Just run 10 yards ahead and get some positive yards. smh.

I feel like that's related to NV's arm and increased risk of TO but who knows.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

What the hell was that? He had the angle and slowed up so he could be tackled.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Why do we refuse to let Youngblood return punts? Dude has insane credentials special teams wise.

 

[TonyVolt]

He had time to make a nice gain and just did strolled as you said. Ridiculous.

 

[njbfr]

That return was pathetic

Hesitant, slow motion seems to be the mindset. I feel like guys are too scared to mess up. Team has a deer in headlights feel to it. Hopefully just a sleepy start, and we wake up quickly. D looked good.

 

[DHajekRC84]

What a horrible punt return. Could have just went right upfield for a great gain but instead p as uses, dances, and goes backwards. Geez.

 

[RU848789]

nice run by Vedral, but he's dinged up

 

[ScarletDave]

The things I see Rutgers football do, I never see anyone else do, from the SEC to CUSA to the local Friday night HS games. What was that return

 

[DHajekRC84]

No w there you go Noah! Let him use legs in space.

 

[Joey Bags]

Nice run vedral, looks like he got the wind knocked out

 

[rob kight]

Who c

No w there you go Noah

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Turner and Vedral

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Vedral had an easy completion but once again has no downfield awareness.

 

[RUJMM78]

Vsdral runs for a first down but might be injured on the play.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Hopefully that’s not a concussion....looked like his head whipped back hard into an Illini defender after hitting the ground.

 

[rob kight]

Who comes in at QB?

It’s bad. We have no OL, Vedral can’t throw, receivers don’t get separation.

It’s the ball is the program mindset.

 

[RU848789]

Snyder in

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

Nice run vedral, looks like he got the wind knocked out

hopefully that's all it is. We all get on him, but hate to see players inured.

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Well NV out for now at least so those who wanted to see the backups have got your wish. Let's see what Snyder can do.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Looked like the Illinois defender made helmet to helmet contact

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

RU missed a free 5 yards there, Ill d came across all they have to do is move.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Nice run by Snyder. Thought it was going nowhere initially.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Hopefully that’s not a concussion....looked like his head whipped back hard into an Illini defender after hitting the ground.

Hope not.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Wtf..a sideways pass on 3rd and 3.

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

LOL RU short by a yard and a half, announcer "this is going to be close"

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Good pass crappy blocking by Sanders

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Can’t even throw to the sticks on 3rd & 3.

 

[Joey Bags]

Our 3rd and 4th down play calling is the worst in college football at all levels

 

[Lerxst72]

Yet another timeout wasted due to slow play calling. Unbelievable.

 

[graystork]

Get the Damn play off Gleeson!

 

[Caliknight]

Man if you weren’t a fan of either of these teams this game would be a horrible watch
