Rutgers vs Michigan / Game Thread

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Mich blockers know how to get their hands under the D's shoulder pads, happens every play.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Lack...of..:QUALITY...DEPTH

 

[rurichdog]

Did you miss the osu game?

The d ends are just to fast

This. Our right end is getting speed rushed all day.

 

[ru66]

probably more than half of their DL gets to NFL and some complain about our OL?? they are young and we need more recruits

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

At this point I'd consider this a good game if we can just take out Harbag on a sideline play.

 

[rurichdog]

We're just not there yet. Need to restock the shelves. If we each trade another TD I'd be ecstatic.

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

I'm not discouraged really even if Michigan adds some more points. I like what I saw from the offense today and outside of the PSU game if we continue like this and don't go back into a shell I think we have a shot at any of the other games. Will we snag one or more, who knows. Also have said I like the MSU matchup a little more than the IU one but we'll see.

There are 10 min left and I'm still watching. Improvement.

Gary has amazing speed and quickness for his size

They play a 3-4 for the most part so which of those players are you projecting to play in the NFL?

 

[RUfubar_rivals]

Bad football team. Nothing else to say

What an intellectually well thought out comment

 

[ru66]

all of them--does that make you happy???

 

[mal359]

They would look like the best team in football if our players weren’t out on the field working their asses off. Just saying.

Agreed, they’re putting in some serious work.

 

[RUTBAY]

Can we blitz occasionally?

I mean really.

Freshman QB and we aren’t throwing any different at him.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Turnover on downs

 

[koleszar]

Good stop, now maybe if the O could block we make this look like a closer game than it is.

 

[rurichdog]

35-14 late in the 4th and Hairball goes for it on 4th and 3...pass play. I seriously hope he chokes on a chicken bone.

 

[RUeric]

Football Jesus with a mistake and a turnover on downs. Also an idiotic playcall from UM. We can't stop the run.

 

[RUBand]

Receivers can’t be that open

 

[RU848789]

Game's not over yet folks! C'mon! Let's do this!

 

[Caliknight]

35-14 late in the 4th and Hairball goes for it on 4th and 3...pass play. I seriously hope he chokes on a chicken bone.

And he missed it. What a dick.

We did blitz late in the 2nd, and ended up with a DE on a RB

 

[RUsince52]

Shame shame. They stole that pass play from us. We run it the same way, with the same results too.

 

[Block R]

Good stop, now maybe if the O could block we make this look like a closer game than it is.

It would be great to get one last drive going in this game. Bringing this to a 14 point loss instead of 21 points would be huge for perception and help with the "turning the corner" narrative.

He's being smart by breaking in his new QB. I wish we developed QBs like that when we'd had the chance. Flood was asked after a game in which we were up big about putting in one of our backups, and he said he didn't even think of it. We aren't good at developing QBs and Harbaugh is pretty good.

 

[RUsince52]

That's what kills us, 2nd and 2 and we gain Zippo.

 

[RU848789]

I know Gio's not 100%, but at least a couple of times, it's been wide open for him to pull the ball out of the RB's hands and get around the edge - even if he doesn't necessarily get a big play he needed to do that a few times to keep the D honest.

 

[Caliknight]

Line play. That's the difference. Need the horses in the trenches.

 

[koleszar]

I hate to say kyk was right but he was about Seymour. Kid will never be a decent O lineman. I stuck up for the kid long enough, he just doesn't have it.

 

[rurichdog]

That's what kills us, 2nd and 2 and we gain Zippo.

Then the obligatory false start on 3rd. Then a sack on the obvious passing down.

Dwumfour. Another jersey guy

I was thinking the same thing. My mind wasn't on running up the score as much as he's getting his freshman qb another game situation. 4th down late in the game and without the gripping pressure of the game actually being on the line.

That being said though I'm not one who cares about running up the score either giving or receiving end. Don't like it gotta stop it.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Mich #17 had a bear hug on our LB. I'd say this is a 10-14 pt game with decent refs.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Good stop

 

[koleszar]

Great now the announcers are giving us the pity party.

 

[RUsince52]

Then the obligatory false start on 3rd. Then a sack on the obvious passing down.

We are consistent in that regard.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

@$!#%!

 

[RUsince52]

If we run out the clock we can salvage something.

 

[RU848789]

We run Gio there? Really?

 

[Block R]

Why is Gio running with 23 seconds left?
