Rutgers vs Iowa / Game Thread

[Blitz8RU]

Man I have a rollercoaster of emotions this game.

Breaking out the Tums...

 

[bac2therac]

How aweaome is this...stadium electric

 

[cRURah]

Time for laviano to shine and be a hero and make us all shut up.

 

[RUaMoose_rivals]

Man would that FG at the end of the first half come in handy now

 

[j10oreo]

It definitely is growing. I noticed we don't lose to non-stop passes over the middle like last season. I'm glad the team is adjusting at a well-respectable speed. Just hope our O can show dramatic changes as well.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Grant looks like he's napping on that trainers bed.

 

[MikeR0102]

Laviano is running tough.

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Nice, tough run by Chris

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Chris still hasn't learned to keep his head up when he's scrambling.

 

[Ru0822]

That can't be a completed catch

 

[LadyRU09]

That wasn't a sack?

And that fumble looks like the final nail.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

HE NEVER HAD POSSESSION

 

[RUTrack94]

Ugh

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Dang it

 

[KnightFan]

HE NEVER HAD POSSESSION

He did, unfortionately

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

That's what you get for burning through your time outs.

 

[j10oreo]

Oh boy...

 

[RUTrack94]

Stone wall ... Stone wall!!!!

 

[rucoe89]

Other teams find a way to win. We find a way to lose.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

That's the game.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Oh boy....

 

[RUSK97]

Did I say the defense was improved? Oops.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Where was Cioffi on that play? Slicing a loaf of bread for a chicken cutlet sub?

 

[ArminRU]

That fumble was complete bs

 

[Blitz8RU]

Did I say the defense was improved? Oops.

The defense is better but this is also against a non-explosive offense.

 

[ru75]

Other teams find a way to win. We find a way to lose.

boo

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Still plenty of time left.

 

[RUTrack94]

Cioffi got faked on that TD pass in the first half ...

 

[RUTrack94]

Team will have 2 more chances to score ... Still time.

 

[RC85]

I saw 2 blatant holds on that TD sweep, maybe 3.

Are you a comedian in your spare time ?

BTW I love a good chicken cutlet sub with mozzarella and prosciutto. May get one after the game. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[rucoe89]

That's the game.

Still time, but dim hopes. Drives me bat sh17 on how we can find ways to lose games like this.

 

[Scarlet Craig]

Clear hold on the play but the refs haven't called one all day.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Cioffi plays a lot like like the washed up Polamalu only with less physical talent.

 

[redking]

Why wasn't that "fumble" reviewed more thoroughly? Patton's forward progress was stopped and the play should've been blown dead. Otherwise, defenses will just hold up WRs and wait for guys to strip the ball out.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

The clapping snap thing reminds me of Derek Carr, except he was a dangerous passer.

That's the way I saw it too.

 

[RUTrack94]

Time to see if the strength coach makes the difference

If Ash didn't blow through time outs he could've most likely used one and protested for a review.

 

[RUTrack94]

Very nice play call ... Great fake by Laviano
