Rutgers vs Illinois/ Game Thread

[IL Lusciato]

Gio should still start next week. I don't think we win another game either way though

 

[RUTBAY]

Well ... This game was a must win for any chance at s bowl.

I'll take a little progress at this point. I saw a little today with a new QB.

 

[Knightmoves]

Student section has cleared out.

 

[G- RUnit]

Ash coaching poorly. Not much else to say. So sad.

 

[Caliknight]

Unlucky on the tip.

 

[Rufaninga]

14pt swing hurts, but QB was making plays. made mistake locking on receiver. will get better if he gets more game time

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

HOLD ONTO THE EFFING BALL

 

[G- RUnit]

Another turnover!

 

[RUfromNJ]

Another low.

 

[RUTrack94]

5 turnovers ... 7 if including the 2 4th down and 1 stops ...

 

[RUTBAY]

CL. JG. RM. fumbles.

Where is JH?

 

[LadyRU09]

The wheels fell off

 

[Caliknight]

5 turnovers. Terrible stat.

 

[Knightmoves]

We run the ball on 1st and 10 and lose the ball on a fumble ?

This is horrifying. 5 turnovers, including 4 fumbles against the Illini at home.

This will be a terrible loss.

 

[Rokodesh]

Lol 5 turnovers to the second worst team in the conference (Rutgers being the worst)

 

[G- RUnit]

No progress! Hurts!!

 

[Ru-baby]

No hicks and run goodwin up the middle at this point- curious curious personnel decisions

 

[Mikemarc]

If only our coaches stressed ball security.....

 

[RUTrack94]

Best way to Build the Big 10 fund is to bet heavy against RU and donate half the winnings.

 

[Blitz8RU]

Why are we turning the ball over so much? So many fumbles.

 

[KJB32812]

That pass play with the INT just didn't look like it had any shot. WR was 2x covered.

 

[Ru-baby]

Mike marc - Youre right were convinced- coaching looks perfect

 

[RUTrack94]

A blocked FG for a TD ... One can dream

 

[cRURah]

Why isn't Hicks running the rock?

 

[RUTrack94]

Dodged a mini-bullet ... Need a miracle to pull this one out.

 

[ArminRU]

Why are we turning the ball over so much? So many fumbles.

I'll take, "our players suck for $500, Alex"

 

[RUTBAY]

Other than starting the wrong QB, you can't put this loss on the coaches. 5 turnovers is death no matter what the game plan is.

 

[Ru-baby]

He did whatever rettig did

 

[Mr. Gerbz_rivals]

7:36 left down 17, have to throw... RETTIG

 

[Mikemarc]

Mike marc - Youre right were convinced- coaching looks perfect

Please quote where i said that.

Not perfect by any means, but not the reason we lost.

 

[G- RUnit]

Delay of game offense. No more free passes. Not a talent game! Poor poor coaching

 

[RUfromNJ]

Can we just play with a running clock in the 2nd half of our games?

 

[Ru-baby]

Ha youve been saying its not the coaching all day- repeatedly

 

[RUTBAY]

If GR plays the rest of the year then I'm not counting the previous games. New season for me if that happens.

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

5 turnovers. Terrible stat.

But it's not the coaches fault !

well a wrong QB decision is a pretty big one actually.
Gio looked pretty good when he came in for the first time a few games ago.
They should have given Gio more game time reps over CL. That's on coaches.
I think Ash and the co can still turn this around but their QB decision making bothers me.

Laviano over Gio and Goodwin over Hicks are just dumb coaching decisions. No way around that.

 

[Mikemarc]

Ok, again. Tell me where I said they were perfect?

Turnovers is NOT on coaching.

 

[scarlet_ty_rivals]

Sad to say but I don't blame any jersey kids for decommitting. I am losing the vision as a fan so I can imagine what some of them are thinking especially those with better offers. I was a huge fan of the Ash hire but seeing team quit before the game is over consistently is on the coaching staff. There is no fight in this team and this team continues to be embarassed. This one really hurts because Illinois sucks and we cant even beat them at home!!! Now we will be in an endless catch 22 because players will decommit and we will have to rely on lesser skilled talent that will put in right back in the same situation we are in now.

 

[RutgersSam]

Below average coaching. Horrible talent. Why is this so hard to understand. Both will get better. Ash stays but we need better coordinators all around.
