Long runs don't count. So I think we should call that play back.

[Touchdown Tommie]

Nice play call!

I honestly don't get it....this staff does not know how to win

how was that the staff's fault. At some point Armstrong has to look at where he's throwing and say "oh there's a dude in the throwing lane, I better not throw it there"

The staff has to know the limitations of the players. TA has had this tendency for a long time. The gameplan should limit TA's opportunities to hurt us with bad decisions.

It was a fricken 5 yard screen pass. It's not like they were asking him to bomb it and he happened to miss the saftey. The d-lineman made a good read a sat on it. Armstrong is a redshirt junior 3year starting qb for a power 5 team. That's a decision he should be smart enough to make for himself. The coaches shouldn't have to hold his hand through the game.

 

TA struggles with short passes. Any TA throw makes me nervous.

Jeez...........we just can't put this game away can we? Good call there Langsdork.

He called exactly what people were asking for. Running it and then short passes/screens. So TA throws it right to an DL and that is Langs fault? Both of Rutgers TD's are on TA's lack of intelligence, and nobody else. This boards obsession with blaming the coaches for the players screwing up is beyond ridiculous.

 

That play could've been less "cute" if you ask me, JMO. If you can't see the poor game management by the coaching staff well there is nothing I can do about that.

 

 

You have to be willfully myopic to not see the staff is inhibiting the kids via their playcalling.

 

This offense needs a series to string together--a 'win', if you will. Chucking the f*****g ball on 3rd and 4 downfield 40 yards is unnecessary--running and getting 4+ is, so you focus on getting the kids some 'wins' on offense, and string together a drive. Keep running the f*****g ball, and when Rutgers starts to cheat against the run, THEN you go to the air.

 

It's not f*****g rocket science, except to this staff, apparently.

[BoNeyard]

Now take care of the ball and punch it in!!

Keep feeding Imani the ball. POWER FOOTBALL!

[lo country]

Id take a bruising rumbling runner over a homer threat that can't break tackles.

[Touchdown Tommie]

Nothing stupid here now fellas!

[White Flash]

nice run, needed that.

[BoNeyard]

Bootleg with option to pass or run for TA

[InOmaha]

Just score

[adc7236]

Please dont throw a pick here.

[lo country]

Bootleg with option to pass or run for TA

This. Would be 6

[VectorVictor]

Oh, and when they keep the ball on the ground and force the issue via the running game...you get things like Imani's run right there. That's a result of Rutgers being gutted time and again by runs.

And when they cheat against the run (like they are the past two plays after), THEN you go to the air.

 

EDIT: Just like they did there.
