It may not all be on Laviano, but he bears most of the blame.
Sorry, but you are 100% wrong on the spiking the ball issue. I sit right behind the team. Three coaches at the same time where giving the spike the ball motion/ I looked up at the marker and it did say third down ( which was proven with a photo) and with all of that CL did give a motion like " what the hell are you thinking ".

Really? That's your comment? I am an RU faithful for many years- but I know that NDSU would kill us. They are a legit top 20 team. Don't be ignorant please.

Really ? They would kill us ? I prefer not to comment on stupid responses that mean nothing. I won't call you stupid or ignorant either. That would be playing the Captain Obvious role.

Did you reach that conclusion after watching their 24-17 OT victory over powerhouse Charleston Southern at home or the 190 rushing yards by Charleston Southern or maybe their 50-44 OT victory over Eastern Washington at home......even if EWU is a top fcs team?

Maybe it's their yearly dominance over Indiana State, Illinois State or Missouri State

Rutgers wouldn't have the balls to face North Dakota State. You guys stick to MEAC and SWAC schools.
More like Rutgers wouldn't be so stupid to face North Dakota St.. What did you have to gain by playing this game? A win against an FCS opponent is just that, a win that gets you closer to one of those 6 victories you need for a bowl.

You don't get any kudos because they're tops in the FCS if you win. Your not going to vault up the rankings with a win over them, it was nothing but a losing proposition. If I was you I'd be pissed at how could my school be so friggin stupid to schedule this game.

That motion was probably, "I'm not going to spike the ball on 4th down." It's Laviano's responsibility to know what down it is. He should have called an audible.

No, Rutgers isn't stupid. What do you gain out of playing a good FCS team? If you win, you were supposed to win. If you lose, you are a Big Ten team who lost to an FCS...no matter how good they are....and that sucks. It's a lose-lose.

Provide the link to the photo. Otherwise, it never happened.:D

I'm just curious why a Rutgers fan would say, "I'm happy RU won" and not "I'm happy we won." ?

I'm still on Troll watch with that guy but I always try to say RU because I didn't attend the school. I've been told I should say we but even after all these years still feel uncomfortable doing it.

Iowa fans should fear us. We have four quarterbacks with live game experience, our head coach has a national championship ring, and so far, we've beaten every Big Ten team that starts with an "I"

Here are some typical plays that you can expect from our team:

Agreed. Every Big Ten fanbase we played talked about how they were going to take over our stadium and really the only time it happened was when we were getting creamed by Ohio State last year, all the RU fans left and they started doing the O-H-I-O chant.

Our fans are fickle but they show up for big time opponents. Most fanbases are surprised when lowly Rutgers has a more formidable fanbase and game day atmosphere then they thought.
Ohio state fans did this at Oklahoma this week so I don't feel so bad about what they did last year.

Pretty sure you don't have to worry about our QB. We say we run a spread but our 3 best running qbs usually don't play as well as our best throwing qbs.

Bring ear plugs. It was painful during the pregame on Saturday. You will regret not having something to prevent the sound from hurting your ears unless they finally rectify this problem.
First home RU game since maybe the 2012 season this weekend. After having season tickets for OSU the past couple seasons, I'm curious just how loud the sound is.

The pregame was extremely loud. If they didn't lower the volume during the game, I was going to leave.

Game volume was lower than it was against Howard. It drove my father out of the stadium at halftime last weekend.

If Grant has the ball anywhere in the open field after the LOS ................almost an automatic 6 pts. No slacker on kickoffs and punt returns either.

Hobbs announced that we will be starting the game in the second quarter on Saturday against Iowa, and we will have a 5th Quarter. I like the way Hobbs grabs the bull by the horns and solves problems.
Also, the OSU game will be scaled back to 30 minutes and will be a reality show instead of a sports program.
