Last week we had a Heisman candidate at QB. This week we have a Rutgers QB. *Sigh* Its not fun being us.

Schemes are good on O and D, execution is not. Just need to keep it respectable. This drive is big in terms of not giving up more than 3 points. If Iowa gets a touchdown this game will get out of hand quick.

Well you have to say at least we're making a decent showing on special teams and defense. Would be nice to see SOME pressure on Stanley.
Spoke too soon. You would think having ash as HC our dbs would be awesome. Not trailing by 5yards on outs.

it's tough Carter as lefty rolls out to Espinoza side.
he's got to go to his right, but that won't be naturally easy.

Well Coach Ash is responsible for recruiting that talent but I know what you mean. It will be interesting to see how he does at his next job.

Look at Michigan. Jim Harbaugh is in Year 5. Chris Ash will need time.

Young team at Rutgers. Cupboard wasn't deep, when he arrived.

Coaching staff is likely stabilized now.

At Iowa, not an easy first road game.

It's clear we have no offense still again this year. Ignore last week, UMASS is not a fair barametor of anything

Remember when half of this site thought RU was going to get 6+ wins because we lit up UMass?
There was a thread on this and no one changed their predictions from us being sh*tty. So your fantasy land post holds no water. I thought we might be able to keep this one within 20. But this is going to be another lost cause season.

You are comparing Harbaugh and Ash? That's a bold move. Ash has consistently been unable to recruit. Harbaugh, as weird as he is, is light years better than Ash at recruiting.

Keep it 14-0 at halftime and RU fans will be happy.

Can McNulty figure a way to score points in the 2nd half?

RU +20 looking suspect at this point.

Maryland is playing a ranked team this week too. They had a pretty bad year last fall. How can they be winning?
