Football LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Maryland

Please explain no targeting...

Pigrome...thought he’d be a better QB at this point.

 

[RUTBAY]

Not a D-1 QB. No threat to pass effectively and just not that fast or elusive to be a threat. Art and the other jerk from Texas really screwed us.

Not saying it’s true or not but how on earth can you tell? He has a d lineman in his lap before he even sets his feet.

Oh that's easy. B1G rule 34.1(b): "No penalties can be called against you when you are playing Rutgers. Play on."

Please explain no targeting...

If there is a questionable call, ever, it goes against us. That didn’t even look questionable.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

might as well get rid of targeting rule. left his feet lead with his head to the head. WTF.

WTF am I even still watching./

Fair point. I’m basing this on what I’ve seen today from him passing- he’s been way off the mark. Additionally the BC coaching staff concluded that and it appears they were correct.

At least we've served as a lesson to other ADs. Don't fire your coach until after your starters have played 4 games.

 

[Purple-Ed]

Speaking of which...serious question. Anyone watching on tv/online did they show replays of the last Maryland td that they reviewed? The guy was in the clear not in a pile...how can they not tell if he was knee down sand short or confirm the TD? Can’t see how all they came up with was ‘call stands’’ as we’re not sure so leave it a td.

The ball was across the goal line when his knee touched down. Correct call.

That’s about the smartest thing said on these boards in a while.

The team on the field today would.lose to UMass.

 

[RUSK97]

What was that penalty??

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Another quick whistle screws over RU

 

[RUSK97]

Yep, wanna make sure we cover up that fumble

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Well, it's at least clear that Ash was the one who was 100% ultra conservative when it came to FG/Punt Block Packages.

 

[RUSK97]

Holy crap, we can block FGs!!! That effing Ashole put the kibosh on that too!

 

[brookdale-soda]

Finally. Did they practice blocking kicks all week? This was never in Ashs playbook.

 

[TM514]

I wonder if Ash and McNulty are still watching the game.

 

[RUTBAY]

Well, it's at least clear that Ash was the one who was 100% ultra conservative when it came to FG/Punt Block Packages.

This is always the thing that killed me with Ash. If your team is not very good why would you not try to emphasize special teams. He consistently did not use starters as frequently as when we had good STs.
