Rutgers vs Northwestern / Game Thread

[RUsince52]

We look like Kansas now. Great speed by Pacheco.

 

[OC Knight]

Look out folks, we have a lead! those who bet on NW -22 might be a little nervous right about now.

 

[dontestrond]

#10 is a star!!!!!!

 

[Jimjimminy]

I’m in shock. Somebody get me some smelling salts. I’m dizzy. I’ve seen a miracle. A touchdown! And a solid drive. I’m delirious with joy!

 

[newell138]

Hobbs just gave Ash another extension.

LOL I was just about to post the same

 

[Debtbubble]

Crap please no, we need ash gone.

 

[NickRU714]

Look at that.

3WR 1TE....good package to run out of.

Make 1 man miss and you are off.
Look at all that space in the middle of the field.

Hmmm.......

 

[newell138]

NW is really bad

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Did not think Pacheko had that gear

I bet that Sitkowski run for a 1st Down fired them up... and fired Sitkowski up.. he seemed to play at a better pace immediately

 

[8th Man]

Knights are fired up. Emotion can carry a team quite a ways in football.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

We need more players like Pacheco --- vocal and shows leadership qualities not captains just because they are seniors

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

This really is going to be Chris Ash's USF in November.

 

[Block R]

 

[koolraddad]

Finally!!!!! We look like a football team.

 

[koleszar]

Pacheco needs to start from here on out. He runs as hard as he can every single play. Make Blackshear a 3rd down back or split him out. The WR need help.

 

[IL Lusciato]

Yess!!!! We pull this out and we are 2-10 next year again with solid D3 level recruits!!! Let's go .give us the RU screw win we've been waiting for .

 

[RUScrew85]

Crap please no, we need ash gone.

I know - just our luck - we win one to save this guy's job and then go back to sucking for 8 games.

 

[RU206]

Clock management

 

[NickRU714]

Come on McNulty! Timeout on first down??

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

told you, give this kid the rock 20-25x a game and the offense changes

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Classic Ash.

Get the ball back off of a punt, and still need to call a TO on 1st down.

 

[Dpgru]

Ok, I, and most of us, have been justifiably critical of this coach and this team but, to those of you who are actively rooting for us to lose - that is just wrong. These guys are playing hard today. They have a Block R on their helmet and should have our support.

If we have a real AD, then one game shouldn't make or break a coach. Has to be the body of work the AD looks at. At least that's what I hope.

 

[NickRU714]

No a bad idea on the fake toss. Sometimes just unlucky.

 

[RUsince52]

He can't side step one guy, Terrible.

Agreed. I want Ash fires but Can't root against our guys.

Classic Ash.

Is Ash responsible for offensive plays getting called in?

 

[koleszar]

WTF was Jackson doing that play? Who taught him that's how to block. Christ. Blazek might be a nice guy but OOF these guys are coached bad.

 

[Knightmoves]

Great that we have a lead 2 mins before halftime. Game is very winnable for RU. Look for NW to open it up.

 

[G- RUnit]

Punter rocks!!!

 

[Block R]

Is Ash responsible for offensive plays getting called in?

He's the head coach. He's responsible for making sure the team is prepared in all facets of the game.

 

[brgRC90]

If a win over Northwestern and a 2 win season in Year 3 is enough to save the guys job then he was never going to be fired.

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Maybe that NU poster who came earlier in the week was onto something about his team crapping the bed or playing to the level of their opponents.

 

[LevaosLectures]

Safety!! Gonna get overturned but awesome

 

[corps50750903]

You can blame Ash for most of the problems but personnel getting on field is coordinators job.

 

[Jimjimminy]

Dare we hope???

 

[RUSK97]

What the hell is going on here??

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

It also helps they didn't flag us for defensive holding.

 

[koleszar]

holy sh*t. If they over turn this I'm going to hop in my car and beat the sh*t out of the replay ref.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

When's the last safety? 2011?
