Placing Michigan on upset alert!!!

[Scarlet Shack]

We’re 1-8, but I think we beat Michigan. There’s no question that Rutgers has struggled its first nine games, as our freshman QB struggled to acclimate to this level, we played lots of young players, and we struggled to find the right personnel on defense. Thankfully, we’ve played much better over the past two weeks, barely falling to Northwestern 18-15 during that time, and played competitively with Wisconsin.

This week, we’re ready to take things to the next level and defeat Michigan. Here’s why:

- After a big win vs PSU, this is the quintessential trap game, and Michigan will overlook Rutgers

- Michigan has so little respect for Rutgers, they run variations of the same power play over and over again, much of the time. They pull the backside guard, #50 350 pound OL Onwenu, who drills the LB in the hole. With Ash now taking the reigns on defense, The defense will be more effective against this play.

- Raheem “The Dream” Blackshear is ready to make a name for himself as one of college football’s biggest playmakers. I don’t think Michigan can stop him.

- Rutgers QB, Artur Sitkowski has an NFL future and will be the best quarterback in Saturday’s game, just like in 2014. Against Wisconsin, he threw for 261 yards and no interceptions.

- Rutgers defense played its best ball of the season these past two weeks and is poised to shut down Michigan, as Coach Chris Ash is now coaching the defense

- Michigan’s secondary is over matched against Rutgers receiving Corp, which also was the case in 2014.

- our young ones are ready to shine

I don’t doubt that Michigan will give us a good game, but it won’t be good enough.

You guys are hilarious.

Love the misplaced optimism.

One can always hope.

We've got a little more than misplaced hope. We've got a quarterback who can sling the rock. we've got a couple of backs who can tote the rock. Now if our wrs can actually catch, we're golden. I'm looking forward to Saturday.

Mercy, please!
Don't know what else to say except you put things into perspective -- it's just a game -- and let's hope all players on both sides compete well and avoid injury.

 

[WhoRU?]

Please don't taunt the village idiot.

I can't believe our conference mates don't know RutgersAl's shtick. Every school deserves a RutgersAl. Our hometown newspaper can't stand us, so we have Al. I'm pretty sure that when we finally went bowling in 2004, folks made up t-shirts with his name on them. Yes, he's a delusional homer. Penn State has a stadium full of nutjobs just like him.

It can be done OP. A few years ago, Stanford was a 40 point underdog to USC and beat them. Unfortunately for you, Stanford was coached by Jim Harbaugh.

All in fun. I feel for you guys and hope you get it turned around in the next few years.

sometimes we start slow i.e SMU and Northwestern, hope Ash can get you guys fully turned around for next year

Are you talking about the football program as a whole, or our OL, which seems to be fully turned around on a lot of plays, watching our QB getting pummeled?

One of these days RutgersAl will be right and he will necropost one of these threads to show everyone that is was right while everyone else was wrong.

By then, necroposting would be considered a banable offense and he will be banned right before Rutgers wins for the National Championship.

Can I get some of what this guy is smoking? We just passed a pot law in Michigan last night, but obviously we are behind the times. I applaud the game against Wisky last week. Your team did not quit. But, I have been going to Michigan football games since I was 3 - that's 51 years and I will tell you that this is the best defense I have ever seen them put on the field behind only the Michigan '73 and '74 teams. Better than the National Championship team in '97. Ain't no way in hell Rutgers is scoring 27 points on this defense. Sorry guys. Michigan 49 Rutgers 7.

I agree there are few here that would remember that poster, including yourself because RutgersSal was a BC guy!

The jokes on Michigan, Lou. We need Artur and the WR corp to step up Saturday. They showed glimpses vs Wisconsin, but now need to show consistency to beat a great team like the Wolverines. Nevertheless, I'm heartened by the fact that Artur did not turn the ball over last Saturday and he showed an ability to make plays, even under duress. The one thing I am concerned about, is that he still has a penchant for staring down his receivers and that could be problematic vs Michigan, because their DBs will jump the route. He needs to be more patient, look off the safety, and go through his progressions. There's no need to rush, unless the pass protection is breaking down.

 

[ruready4somefootball_rivals]

We've got a little more than misplaced hope. We've got a quarterback who can sling the rock. we've got a couple of backs who can tote the rock. Now if our wrs can actually catch, we're golden. I'm looking forward to Saturday.

Please,Please,Please, post a post game thread on what went wrong. Show some nads for once.

You might want to look at a weather forecast.

Of course, such things may be too close to reality, for you.

Well I've already had to delete a few reported posts and ban a couple of people from the thread. I'd rather avoid doing that.

The next up is our foot up your fat @ss.

Since you will probably ban me for asking. Why wasn’t this post deleted and Al given the boot? It’s not any different than what some of the visitors said.
