i think its apparent that we suck. You all can debate why. I put it on the players.

its not the coaches sleep walking... its not the coaches getting zero pressure, its not the coaches running slow, missing assignments, not catching punts, not throwing on target.
Sorry,no have to call BS on this. Guarantee if Flood was still the coach you'd be singing a different tune. It's the job of the coaches to get their players ready to play and motivating them as well. Sorry this is not lack of talent. Totally acknowledge we don't have world beating talent but were much better than we've showed. Particularly early in games

Especial if you refuse to admit NM isn't the type of team that should be playing RU like it is and keep the blame all on Flood without seeing faults in the present staff.
Washington outclassed RU and nothing terrible about that seeing what As is up against, Howard hung too tough in first half but adjustments gave hope because of how they worked in second half for Rutgers.
But this game isn't one that excuses can be made unless you want to wear blinders.
Rutgers probably will havea bad year and some on Flood, some on players, but some must be put on Ash and his straff.
Some Ash supporters are starting to sound like the old Floodies, refuse to look at what's in front of them

I'm not saying Ash won't prove to be a keeper, just being realistic about the way RU looks now and how the blame needs o be shared.

Flood had 4 years?

Adjustments being made is a good sign, but the way game started wasn't.
Ash might prove himself, but blind faith in him should not be given.
Proving himself should be expected and wins against teams like the Lobos demanded, not excused for losing to them blaming the RU players and/or previous coaching staff.

and now i call bs... did the coaching change or did the players wake up ? You can coach till you are blue in the face. The players are in a new scheme on both sides. Its probably what causes the sleep walking. They wake up and look different. That will take time to work on.

oh they really upgraded, they lost to UTEP week one. You have no idea what you are talking about.
lesser teams have starters that are good but tire against deeper teams...the lesser team comes out on steroids to prove something but the half life of the steroids is 15 minutes. I am not talking final scores. I am talking early clues

Right, adjustments are good, but not coming out prepared to play is on the coaching staff.

Da fuq ? Stop arguing in favor of a terrible team pls, one that beat today's opponent. Bottom line is that for today, we haven't played up to our potential until the 2nd quarter. New Mexico is not nearly as good as we made them look and they are extremely beatable. End of conversation
