Rutgers vs Illinois/ Game Thread

[Scarlet_Monster]

3 missed arm tackles leads to a giant 53 yard run.

 

[ru75]

can we just tackle ?

 

[Caliknight]

3 missed tackles while in position is talent. Plain and simple.

 

[n1tlion]

Plenty of freshman playing at schools that were always really good. Wait till Lewis next year. This year, we have a very small shot to win any game.

You already by-passed Oden? Lewis won't play next year...if he does that's really an indictment of poor QB coaching if a true freshman can beat out the development of Laviano, Rescigno, Dare and Oden after a full year in the program...

 

[czxqa]

I'm still waiting for someone to address if our coaching so bad..why are moving the ball very well...

Must be talent..oh wait, we don't have much.

It's because the players were doing just fine until Mehringer made them fumble

3 missed tackles while in position is talent. Plain and simple.

Same thing happened under flood and we blamed them for having poor tackling technique

 

[RuSnp]

3 missed tackles while in position is talent. Plain and simple.

I agree with this. That play is textbook for our weakness right now at linebacker.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Well, let's see if it's still Laviano.

 

[KJB32812]

Is Darius Hamilton playing injured?

 

[17Q66]

Guys look at the big picture. We have a clean program with good academics. Only fools believed that we were going to be competitive in this conference without the administration spending a tsunami of money on a coach and athletic department turning a blind eye to recruiting. Then yes you would be a powerhouse in two to three short years.

So, why is our men's soccer program in such disarray?

 

[RUTrack94]

Any attendance estimates ?

Perhaps 30k

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

It's because the players were doing just fine until Mehringer made them fumble

And flood made his players suck too right ? Oh guess he shouldn't have been blamed either then

 

[RUTrack94]

Best part of game so far ... The dance team!

 

[ntlrock1]

Not a bad look at all. Mehringer is getting great praise, and is a very well known commodity on coaching. As for Laviano, he's the best we have.

Anyone with half a clue knows what he is working with..and isn't questioning him.

Mehringer is getting praise? Uhhhhh...news to me. Da fuq are you rambling on about..........

As for Laviano being our best option, look- Laviano blows. Anyone that knows anything about football can see that. He is not a D1 QB. But when you haven't scored a TD in 15 quarters...NOTHING can be taken for granted. Who knows? Maybe some guy gets put in there who may not be as good as Laviano in practice, but he has a stroke of beginners luck and makes some good throws. To continually trot Laviano out there is the definition of insanity

 

[Knightmoves]

Has our Defense quit ? IL had no trouble scoring on first 2nd half possession without throwing a pass.

 

[RUTrack94]

So, why is our men's soccer program in such disarray?

Reality????

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Illinois' Offense is even more 1 dimensional than RU and we can't stop them.

 

[bossnj1]

Excellent half-time adjustments.. Let's hope this guy can hold on to this recruiting class. Couldn't blame them if they lose faith this is pitiful

 

[RUTrack94]

Ok ... The transformation starts now.

 

[Knightmoves]

Down 14-0. I hope this doesnt get ugly, but it would not surprise me at this point.

 

[Rutgers25]

No longer a joke. This is Terry Shea equivalent.

 

[G- RUnit]

Sloppy! So poorly coached, time to worry.

 

[RUTrack94]

3rd dropped punt/KO

Not rambling. Also Meyer was singing his praises 2 weeks ago.

 

[rucoe89]

We are flat out putrid.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

GIO IS IN

HOLY CRAP

 

[Rufaninga]

Game is 60 minutes, far from over. time for a score on O.

 

[ScarletKnightRider]

This isn't even sad anymore, this is legitimately funny.

[RU31trap]

I believe in our kids but not this coach and to a lesser extent our AD. Very disappointed as to why we always penny pinch.

 

[ntlrock1]

QB change! There is a god

 

[rucoe89]

Illinois' Offense is even more 1 dimensional than RU and we can't stop them.

And we have senior DL playing. As ugly as this year is becoming next year will be way worse.

 

[czxqa]

Is Darius Hamilton playing injured?

They wouldn't say if he was. Illinois is running most of their plays away from him though.

Meyer was being nice.... Let's just keep our heads in the sand. Mehringer is not getting praise for not getting his team into the end zone for 15 straight quarters. Trust me

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

Why are they putting in gio when he hasn't played in 5 weeks

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Gulp....maybe Laviano is the best we got.

 

[Knightmoves]

And Gio fumbles it on 2nd down, yikes ! Lucky to get it back.

 

[MikeR0102]

Gio not ready for syndication, let alone primetime

 

[Mikemarc]

There's your qb change!! 3 and out.

 

[ScarletKnightRider]

Awful, awful reads and decision making by Gio
