Rutgers vs Illinois / Game Thread

[Plum Street]

Close this half with a turnover or stop and it's the best half of the ash era

 

[RUfromNJ]

Now let's get out of this half without allowing another score

 

[TM514]

Gio should not be running, poor play calling. We are running all over this team with our backs

 

[soundcrib]

Blitz!!!

 

[MADHAT1]

I don't know that it's on purpose. Sometimes you see things in guys that you bring in because you look for those things.

Well Edwards is working out, but 2 years in a row Gio should have been given his shot much sooner.
Ash seems to try his best to keep the players he recruited in game and hold off giving those he didn't a fair chance until forced to.

 

[RULoyal]

I could have drove a truck through that hole

or a bus.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

I'd love to see Rutgers pressure the quarterback with some stunts, blitzes, etc

George is starting his second game and is taking an extra second to get rid of the ball. A corner blitz to rock him would pay huge dividends.

 

[LETSGORU91]

Gio runs like he's on a step climber

Great analogy!! It would be nice to see some of that up/down high stepping transformed to propulsion on the field. I like the toughness, but they have to stop running him like a RB...and he needs to know when to go down.

 

[rurichdog]

Special teams fresh off the shortbus again

Spot on

 

[shields]

Seymour good block.

 

[soundcrib]

We need a new special teams coach

 

[DJ Spanky]

horrible holding call on Nash. wow

That was incredibly ticky-tacky - you could call an offensive lineman on every play of every game if you applied that criteria.

 

[BillyC80]

Gio had to establish himself as a threat. Opens things up for everyone else.

 

[rufeelinit]

Our guys are out of control running down the cover the kick. Three guys in position and did not come close.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Horrible call but officials.

 

[Abro1975]

Is Turay Now a LB? In coverage more than rushing

 

[RUfromNJ]

Dumb penalty

 

[Block R]

Time for a turnover

 

[soundcrib]

We have dumb players. Sorry

 

[mildone_rivals]

Wow, refs let a play go by without throwing a flag.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Go does better when he's involved with the offense and runs a few times.

 

[RUsince52]

Zero football mentality. Not focus, stupidity.

 

[koleszar]

Th blitz designs are complete garbage.

 

[rurichdog]

Dumb penalty

4 steps after the ball was out. Doesn't get much dumber

Ash just isn't high on Gio

 

[BillyC80]

Harris!

 

[Abro1975]

Pick by Harris !

 

[BeantownKnight]

Int by Harris!!

 

[koleszar]

Harris yes. Just like a center fielder.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Harris!!! Yes!

 

[rurichdog]

Harris' 1st reception of the season lol

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Harris with the pick! Sure-handed because he's a--ya know--wide receiver!

 

[Plum Street]

Close this half with a turnover or stop and it's the best half of the ash era

Turnover!

 

[RU4Real]

Finally, the George Legacy strikes.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

A blitz, a rushed throw, and an INT. Go figure!

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

LOL, took the other team to throw a pass Harris could catch this year.

 

[RUsince52]

Just like catching a line drive.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Let's go for the throat here

 

[RUSK97]

Nice!!!
