Rutgers vs Michigan / Game Thread

[theRU]

I'd run at Ross Douglas all day. He takes himself out of plays in the run game.

Is that 21? He sucks

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

And once again they review a play that doesn't need to be reviewed.

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

You just knew that after the 4th down play, that they were going to score a TD.

 

[Caliknight]

Ash needs to get much more aggressive with the refs. That wasn't a first down.

 

[RURahh]

This is the difference between Rutgers and Michigan

We punt on 4th and 1 on the opponents 41, Michigan goes for it on Their 41 because they know our offense can't move the ball

Point is, until our offense shows it deserves some respect, opposing offenses can take unnecessary risks and keep our defense on the field far longer than it should be. Same thing happened versus Purdue but we dodged a bullet

 

[OC Knight]

They don’t need to throw the rest of the game. They’re getting 6 to 7 yards a carry.

 

[G- RUnit]

They review this play and not the spot?? Joke

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

So, ONLY plays that DONT benefit UM get reviewed????????

 

[RU31trap]

Defense is exhausted. What a shame to have a solid D with a struggling O

 

[RUfromNJ]

Yup...review that one.

 

[scarlet_ty_rivals]

Can never get the benefit of the doubt. Player was short and now UM will score.

 

[scarlet89]

Expletives to the refs and replay crew

 

[RUeric]

That blitz by #21 on that run was awful. The right play was called and he didn't run at the rb.

 

[RU848789]

That spot and it not being reviewed are still pissing me off - like a turnover.

Even if he actually made it, which I don't think he did (and I thought the 3rd down spot was a foot short, so I'm not just being a homer), I simply can't understand reviewing that 3rd down and the almost TD and not that 4th down.

 

[Mikemarc]

They are bigger..stronger..and faster.

 

[Mikemarc]

Little false start on that TD too

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

I'm sure that might happen over the course of the game but they were running on us right from the first series. That was my worry just coming into the game and if we could be physical enough with them. Their drives were stalled by going to the air.

It's also why I wasn't expecting a blowout of last year's size. They don't have a qb and they need to rely heavily on the run.

 

[ru75]

Must keep D on bench here or it will be light's out

 

[scarlet_ty_rivals]

Saw some holding as well.

 

[newell138]

Because it’s inexplainable

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

They are bigger..stronger..and faster.

yup.............

and those guys in black and white are running over us tooo......

 

[G- RUnit]

They are bigger..stronger..and faster.

And Refs in pocket.

 

[scarlet96]

What garbage.

The spot wasn't generous but Hester needs to breakdown and make a better play on Isaac . Slow him down just a tad and doesn't to 18 1/2 yards . That led to the drive

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

false start on the TD??? and review Michigan short wow

If I am Harbaugh, I am going for everything that us 2 yards or under and anywhere near midfield.

He's sees our offense.

That and they average 9 yards a run

 

[koleszar]

Well it's game 8 and our refusal to blitz often is the same. Purdue and Indiana kept it close on D because they BLITZED the sh*t out of them. But we're not going to follow that blueprint.

 

[SpartyRBS]

You guys got boned on that spot.

We’ll add it to the myth that is Michigan Football.

 

[RUfromNJ]

I'd like to see Ash give the refs the business on one of these. Zero reason to review the two plays that were plain as day. Inexcusable to not look at the 4th down stop.

 

[RUeric]

Exactly. He has to know the situation. A tackle in the backfield isn't necessary. Slowing him up and allowing the pursuit was what was needed.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

the 4th down play was closer than the other 2....

[mildone_rivals]

Who’s doing the commentary for this game for the BTN? Guy makes me want to shoot my TV.

 

[RU848789]

How are they not calling the UM LT for being in the neutral zone?

 

[koleszar]

73 is lining up in the neutral zone. The refs are playing 3 blind mice. That's inexcusable.

 

[OC Knight]

Gary is not being slowed down one bit by Seymour.

 

[RU848789]

Wild Grant!

 

[koleszar]

HOLY ****

 

[Abro1975]

Wow Grant! Wow Jerry Kill!

 

[scarlet_ty_rivals]

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

TOUCH MF DOWN!!
