We should put up points.

RU: 27
USC: 55
We scored 21 points on BCU. Their DL is going to destroy our OL. That hyped of freshman end they have from NJ is a one making crew. Unfortunately for us they have a bunch of others that are like that too.

My prediction is after the IU game. It allows him to get his 100th win (maybe), and after getting thoroughly embarrassed as two conference teams take over SHI and smack the team around, with a bye week, it would be the perfect time to pull plug.
That will be a sight that Keli Zenn will not be enamored with.

Why does he need to be allowed to get his 100th game? Participation trophy? Touchy feely ********? Can his a$$ now…

I am very confused. I see the following predictions: 77-10, 80-7, and 100-0. But these posters did not state their predicted winner and loser! Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

My sense is the Schiano cult would have a hissy fit (again) if he wasn't allowed to get that. They might stage another sit in.

If it was me, I'd have fired him before he walked off the field against UMass. Made headlines like SC did firing Kiffin on the tarmac. Need to start making real program moves. Things like that indicate to the world that you are no longer playing.

Either way, watching him hang a few more devastating L's around his neck on our home field should seal the deal. Get this nightmare over with.

No hissy fit , USC will be Greggie's 100 win
The sit in will result in every seat taken for every home game the rest of this season
With the 100th win Schiano will be begged by Zinn to accept a lifetime contract
so the Dallas Cowboys don't grab him.

Their QB appears to be less mobile than the other 2 we’ve faced so far, which has been our Achilles heel, but their offense is still potent, and their defense can be scored upon.

Our best chance is to control the ball as long as possible with a strong running game, limit turnovers, and to force their QB out of the pocket. A couple of big strikes to Duff would be nice.

If we do all that we may keep it close for a while.

41-27 USC.

USC is an offensive machine and will do whatever they want most of the day.
But the defense is only fair.
I expect that the team is largely disinterested in this game and will become moreso after jumping out to an early lead and inserting the 2nd and 3rd stringers.
We will get some garbage points to make it look better.

#1 Schiano is fired before Tues.

#2 USC 45 RU 7 1st team vs 1st team

Final USC 52 RU 19

Anything worse than that score, he should be fired by Sun morning.

USC needs to beat RU by at the very least the Vegas line. Optics for a team like USC…not exactly first tier in the B1G…means they need to make statements.

Got this one being like USC 45 Rutgers 10

Greg will say it’s progress for a young team. Still building and chopping.

Hopefully he’s gone forever soon. Can pay half what he and his bad staff makes to lose games
