Rutgers vs Illinois/ Game Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two

Again, that the problem. Harris is not a real playmaker. On our team he is. On most other teams he is the baseball player that they allowed to walk on. A team with any talent there has a real game breaker returning punts. We don't.
Illinois is the most penalized team in the league. That's coaching.
I miss our old special teams so much. Was the most exciting part of games.
No one is saying we have talent. We're saying that when you know you have no talent it's up to the coaches to at least teach kids how to play correctly. Mental mistakes have no bearing on someone's physical ability
Are you not on the edge of your seat with current ST unit?
Making the right decision is part of being a talented football player. They have probably went over that a hundred times. But the player can't execute.
I saw that exact pkay in the last Clemson game. Is Swiney a bad coach?
There is a pattern of mental mistakes on this team; that's coaching. But, I made my point. We simply disgaree. I'm moving on
So all we do is run the ball, including the quarterback and we have to play Laviano? So frustrating to watch and please dont tell me coaches know best in all things.
Two people in the backfield and one of them is not Hicks? If you gonna do that let's not have Harris be the other person will put it with one back there .

By your definition, we have had very few playmakers over the last 15 years. I don't know how good Harris is yet, but I think he can be a productive player for us in several phases of the game. Either way, lack of playmakers comes back to Flood's inability to land a single WR recruit in the 2014 class after having 3 good ones all decommit.
Then Chris makes the wrong read on the zone read and gives the ball to his HB with a stonewall of defenders in front of him.
Coaches are really dropping the ball. Sure, having football IQ = talent. No disputing that. Our ace special teams guy is hurt. The backups are not nearly as good. He fumbled. Fine.
But for Laviano to still be out here is just a slap in the face to those who give a **** about this program. Please Ash, I beg you. Start and play a different QB other then Chris Laviano.

Totally agree. Penalty are a sign of a poorly coached team. Rutgers is the 3rd least penalized team in the league.
I think this game is proving mostly a talent gap with osu and michigan. The offense does move the ball.
