At the game ... Crowd is flat. Team making bonehead mistakes. No awareness by DB on that TD pass. Bad series by RU. Illinois is horrible.

Lavs overthrows patton and then underthrows agadosi who makes catch 4 1st and to top it off called back for a penalty. This O sucks

Boo birds officially out. That was completely unacceptable to miss a throw that wide open.

If we go down two scores I might turn it off. Not because I have no faith bust just because this is unpleasant.

Aren't people thinking that Ash keeps Laviano in because he knows he is the best we have?Our talent is lacking. Our season was over when Grant got hurt. Or any chance at a nearly competitive season was over.

Even with Grant, we are still a team that would lose 75% of its games. Why are people still surprised?Why do you continue to go to games thinking we could win them?Our talent is a 1 or 3 on a scale of 10.

Also, when the opponent is as horrible as this one is, you(Rutgers)should be all over them, with anger and purpose. Especially, after last week!
We re on the same side. I understand the frustration. Believe me I do. I'm just simply saying this game is not over by a long shot.

Makes Ash and staff look bad if Laviano is still the best option...if they haven't either developed or recruited anyone that is better capable of moving the ball or running this offense. They've had spring practice, all summer and now half of a season to develop a better option, plenty of freshman QBs Playing all over the country

Why a defensive head coach would ensure our offense to a 28 year old is just mind-boggling.

B1G competition is not time for an internship.

This is not about the players... the offensive playcalling, personnel decisions, and overall coaching fundamentals of these kids is just terrible.

Let's get an experienced OC in here next year.

Bingo. Ash should've went the route Flood did, and get someone who had legitimate experience like the Fridge. That's perhaps the one smart thing Flood did.

And there is Laviano once again.

He must give amazing head or something. I got nothing else.

The entire athletic department is in competitive free fall. 2021 is still SO far away.

We have to face the reality that we are watching the two worse teams in the Big Ten right now.

However, both teams are in a rebuilding year.. Or I should say in the beginning of a LOOOOONG road to being good again.

Hopefully for both schools, this game should be a lot more exciting 4-5 years from now.

Until then... Welp

This is not on Mehringer.

We can't snap. We can't get open. We can't throw.

We have had no offense of touchdowns in a number of games. The most remarkable thing off all to me is that if CL does anything -generates one score even -he will be anointed starter for the rest of the season likely

What is this hold?
