Good news is that this game will get us ready when we play the BIG teams. So we have time to get things straightened out. Think "Jersey Strong."

Laviano literally can't make any type of throw that's not an easy pitch and catch over the middle. Holy f*ck

Who here REALLY expected Ash to bail on Laviano after a bad half? Bad 3Qtrs? What would you think about his judgement to begin with?

Remember: he pulls Laviano it's pretty much permanent. There's no going back. Think about it in political terms: How bad must Hilary be of she's not crushing somebody like Trump?

Disagree. That's old school thinking. Just about every major program plays more than one QB. Could've easily sat CL and bring him back next week

Not sure I agree with you guys asking to see a new guy at QB. If the coaches still think Laviano is their guy, he needs the snaps to familiarize himself with the new offense. They should only make the change if they've decided that Laviano is not the answer going forward.

Laviano will have plenty of chances to get acquainted with the new offense with the next two easy (I hope) games. The chance to see another QB play against a real team, albeit against their 4th string players and water boys, will not come back for weeks.

That 3rd down pass to the turf at the goal-line says it all.. wise to not try to connect there to a well covered guy.. but what about going to another receiver or running it in?

Coach and I are on opposite ends: I would have gone for the earlier Field Goal on 4th and 12, but at the 5, I'd have gone.

Alright.. many of us here think Ash should play another QB.. more than one maybe. But perhaps Ash needs time between games to reflect and analyze. Maybe he cannot pull the trigger during a game in hopes that Laviano might show us something.

We'll know if he is as stubborn as Flood in the coming weeks.

First game as a head coach, taking over a dumpster fire, traveling cross country, playing a top 15 team. I won't be taking too much away from this game so far as indicators of the rest of the season. Unfortunately I expected this would be ugly and I wasn't wrong.

What I do find troublesome though is the kick/punt coverage.

Head coach Chris Ash didn't think he should start...
probably rewarding guys for what they did since hire and not last year. as he gets his game tape, changes will b made. Change of culture, New offense, new defense, new special teams, same level of talent. similar results until our guys learn Offense completely, etc. thus is a rebuild process that will take time. wants different types of players from size/strength. need patience, which is not a strong suit for mist of us fans

They went fit the field goal because Laviano looked horrible on that series. His run sucked. His pass sucked.

What would one more attempt do? Nothing. Just cost us three points.

Why do we look like we are not ready to play this game?
It just goes to show that you can take a coach from the best program is not going to do much if he does not have the talent. Not sure if Saban or Meyer would do any better with this team.
Flood is vindicated.

You have to be joking. Fliod is the opposite of vindicated. Everybody who said Flood would destroy the program with his recruits were vindicated.

The cupboard isn't just bare. There is no cupboard.

If Ash is not going to get a look at a backup QB during a real game.. why not see if the FG kicker and team has its act together?

you're not disappointed we've allowed two returns for touchdowns in the same game? i don't even know when the last time a rutgers team allowed that
Okruch should focus on tackling and assignments instead of that stupid arm swinging thing. Maybe we should drop football for synchronized swimming.
