Rutgers vs Nebraska / Game Thread

[RutHut_rivals]

Come on D. Step it up.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Enormous holes for their runningbacks.

 

[koleszar]

LB's are friggin horrible. They just run into the blockers. RUN BLITZ.

 

[BillyC80]

Defense getting gashed early. Damn.

 

[scarlet_ty_rivals]

D effing it up now

 

[RUfromNJ]

Blegh

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Should've been stopped for no gain by #6

 

[Sir ScarletKnight]

Dragon saved the TD, but the Huskers are blocking really well.

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

we can never have both sides of the ball play well

 

[RUboston]

Defense giving up 8-10 yards a play.

 

[drewbagel423]

Is the offense really going to have to carry the D today?

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

lol our teams tackling is terrible

 

[BillyC80]

Big third down here.

 

[RUboston]

Tackle. Wrap up.

 

[RUfromNJ]

That was easy.

 

[mikershoein]

All day

 

[koleszar]

Are you fvcking kidding me. Can't tackle can't pressure. What a joke. Need to design a better blitz package then everyone up the middle.

 

[drewbagel423]

Tackle. Wrap up.

So many people just whiffing completely

 

[BillyC80]

Damn close to the LOS.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Absolutely pathetic effort by the defense to start.

 

[RUboston]

Need some pressure on the QB.

 

[formerlyknownasrutgers100]

another qb looks like a hesimann candidate against us

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Fools gold fellas

 

[Rufaninga]

I miss having an aggressive Defense!

 

[ntlrock1]

Defense stanks. Haven't had one since Gary

 

[Caliknight]

Dbs are awful. Can't cover and can't tackle. Bad combo.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Their OL is massive! It will take some time to wear them down.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

let's see what adjustments we can make here because let's see what adjustments we can make here because they are definitely running the ball very well and they're winning the one-on-one battles on the line. Also we need to stop trying to strip the ball just tackle the damn ball carrier

 

[motorb54]

Are we playing D Midwest farm country style,
with only seven players?
That was pathetic.

 

[Block R]

 

[RUhasarrived]

A linebacker covering a wide receiver.

 

[RUeric]

Zero defensive aggression on that possession. Against a struggling offensive line we blitz 0 times.

 

[rurichdog]

Are we playing D with 10? We look like a 1AA team. Oh man.

 

[Section124]

Roberts could have blitzed there. We need to apply some pressure. We took the punch and now we need to settle down on defense. It's early

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

this is where I think the coaches fail. We should this is where I think the coaches fail. We should be bringing pressure on every play

 

[sct1111]

Their OL is massive! It will take some time to wear them down.

Northern Illinois handled them pretty well.

 

[ntlrock1]

Wear them down? Lol...

 

[AntiG]

How about not arm tackling. Basics...

 

[rupop2]

Not the start I was hoping for defensively but I have full faith that if our O continues to move the ball our D will make the plays for us to get the win

 

[drewbagel423]

Northern Illinois handled them pretty well.

They would do the same to us
