That was a ridiculous call. He was shedding a block and sort of fell into him. How the hell is that targeting? You could tell he was trying to get his head over to the side. Horrible call, horrible rule.
I thought the same thing it didn't look like there was much force in that hit.

one bad weather game that made out coaches play calling nuts fall off kept us from another championship. we are a far beter team than MSU
Completely agree. The NC game last year was the OSU/Bama semi. And the NC game this year should be the same.

Obvious targeting. No way you can argue that call. And I like the rule. That hit was using his helmet as a weapon and is not a necessary part of football. Ask our new head coach what he thinks of it. He teaches the rugby style tackling.

I get not liking the rule but Bosa led with the crown of his head. The rule exists for his protection as much as the player he hit. I do think there should be warnings as opposed to outright ejections though.

meh...

Wake me up when Ash actually does something noteworthy for our program. So far he hasn't impressed me tbh. I can never understand why so many on here are on his nut sack 24/7. Constantly praising him as if he's the second coming of Jesus Christ or something...
Could yiu ever be happy with RU?

I don't like the targeting rule, as written. But, as written, the call was clearly valid.

Hopefully, OSU will still crush ND.

Really? You don't understand why passionate fans on a message board would choose to be optimistic, and look at things from a glass half-full perspective, regarding our new head coach, before he ever coaches a game? There will be plenty of time to be overly critical once the games start.

I thought the targeting call was legit, BUT they are very inconsistent . Yesterday I saw a player go head first AT the other players facemask, and there was no call.

I think the latter is a much more dangerous play.

Zeke Elliot showing Henry what a real Heisman player should look like.

EDIT: No - showing the Heisman people what a H winner should look like

Ash's defense looks positively average without the Bosa threat. What's he going to do with 2 and 3-star players??
Hopefully he will get the best out of them and coach them up to their full potential. We'll find out soon enough.

Without Bosa, Washington, and schutt. The guys who normally rotate in are having to start and guys who haven't played are rotating in.

When ND was on 4th and inches, OSU players shifted in to crowd the center anticipating the sneak that was coming. The announcers credited Rutgers bound Ash with recognizing the play in advance
Actually they said that the OSU was ready for that play due to the work by Luke Fickell and coach Ash the new RU coach.

It wasn't exactly anything to write home about and Ash was mentioned after Fickell.

So where are all the people raving about the Publicity RU was to get?????

I see you're going to be hoping Ash loses first game.

Ash and Schiano just mentioned.

OSU offense gets too cute sometimes. With that offensive line and a running back like Elliot, just give him the damn ball.

It can't be fun as a fan to start a new coaching regime looking for reasons to be negative.
If telling the truth and exactly what was said is being negative then guilty as charged.

If being someone who has their head buried in the sand makes you feel better than I am happy for you.

But so far every single excuse for Ash coaching for OSU has fizzled. No air time, not being shown on TV, no talk of what a great coach he is, NONE OF it.

Hiring a comedian to be the DL coach as opposed to someone like Pangos is a mistake. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Were you one of the people booing Laviano during the Maryland game? I wasn't! Who is the real fan?

Just curious have they showed a shot of Ash? Have they mentioned us? I've watched the entire game and haven't seen anything. Anyone?

They literally just showed him up in the booth and announced him as "Chris Ash new HC for Rutgers" about 2 min ago.
