Rutgers vs Illinois / Game Thread

[rurichdog]

Great call by official on incomplete pass. Yes!

And it didn't require 5 minutes of review

 

[RUeric]

Now can the offense put together 2 drives in a row. Gotta increase the lead.

 

[RUSK97]

Gotta keep scoring. No way our D can keep holding off their O.

 

[Abro1975]

Some of those runs are just sooooo sloooow developing

 

[RUSK97]

Slowest ever developing off tackle runs

 

[rurichdog]

Nice improv by Gio for the 1st

 

[BillyC80]

Nice play Gio!

 

[mildone_rivals]

Mobile QB finds team’s most dangerous weapon? Yes!

 

[KnightFan]

Nice improv by Gio for the 1st

Amazing what happens when you have a QB who can improv...

 

[RUeric]

That third down play was a welcome sight.

 

[RUBand]

Alright, nice play.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

Hate the playcalling!!!!!! free gio

 

[soundcrib]

GIO!

[mildone_rivals]

Giooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Yes!

 

[BillyC80]

Mobility and vision on Gio.

 

[OTBOTOR]

Gio making things happen, buying time with his feet and cool head!

 

[koleszar]

Nice play. Gio went through his progressions.

See what a running QB can do? I'm certain coaches simply can't gauge the potential actual in-game play of a dual threat QB when they don't let the QBs practice without allowing contact.

 

[RUSK97]

Give me Bolin back. I like having a QB with feet set in concrete.

 

[koleszar]

Give me Bolin back. I like having a QB with feet set in concrete.

No here's where we usually throw the Lewis package in and screw up our QB's rhythm.

 

[RULoyal]

Have to think Gio would have made a difference against EMU.

 

[Block R]

Give me Bolin back. I like having a QB with feet set in concrete.

I’m happy Gio is starting but no need to take shots at Bolin.

gotta have that QB play in today's college game

 

[RUsince52]

To me if we can't get at least 5 on 1st, should be throwing on 2nd. We're not good enough to convert a high percentage on 3rd and medium. But Gio gives us a better chance. Than see what is working as the game unfolds.

 

[RUfubar_rivals]

Gios mobility more than makes up for any other deficits he may have re finesse qb skills

 

[shields]

Throw to the backs, like it.

 

[bossnj1]

Gio should have been starting since day one. He brings a dimension that Bolin just doesn't have. College offenses are just much better with a mobile quarterback who can escape pressure and who adds a running threat. Poor reflection on Ash and staff again to have overlooked Gio.

 

[MADHAT1]

Seems like Gio is best option

 

[armenius]

Offense looks like an offense.. keep it up!

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

there you there you go, you have a quarterback that can throw the ball and doing everything you wanted to do and then you run him up the middle taking a chance of him getting hurt.

 

[koleszar]

WOW nice move HIcks

 

[mildone_rivals]

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccckkkkkkkkkksssssssssss. Yes, dammit, yes!

 

[RUeric]

We're going to rush for 300 yards this game. Illinois is very bad.

 

[BillyC80]

Our defense is loving this.

 

[bossnj1]

Josh with a nice burst. Another inexplicably overlooked guy by the stubborn Ash.

 

[koleszar]

Hicks is running unbelievable. Our Oline is pushing

 

[soundcrib]

GIO!!!

 

[RU848789]

Holy crap, two touchdowns!

 

[RU4Real]

WOOT!!
