a couple good throws by TA on that series.

Looks like we came ready to play today!

 

[The Duke]

This team looks very focused today. Keep it up boys!

 

[Hammerhead]

NOICE!

 

[Mierin]

It'd be nice to have a blow out going into the Iowa game.

 

[MichiganDad3]

Lets put this game away early, rest the starters and partially injured, and get next years starters some playing time.

3rd and short, more Imani Cross please.

Yeah, it's great we lucked out with the WR reception (and fumble bounce our way)...as well as Westy's TD...but part of the problem is that we need that '3rd and a cloud of dust' to help eat clock and salt away games early.

Rutgers is a team, especially with our sieve of a secondary, that can come back in a flash. I'd rather we slam the door shut and give them as little time as possible to work with than get quick strikes and leave them plenty of clock to work with.

But having said that, I think the play selection is much better this week. I thought for sure with 15MPH winds that Langsdorf would have Tommy airing it out 50+ times today...

Nice start for this game

Think we're seeing the end of Flood at Rutgers.

 

[Norhusker]

Defense need a good game to build confidence. Couple of takeaways would help too.

 

[White Flash]

woot!!!

 

[GOAT]

Gotta keep our foot on their throat and not let up.

 

[topekahusker]

To date: 9 rushes and TA is 7/7 passing.

 

[Dansker]

Seriously getting tired of everyone harping on TA's footwork every week. Yes, his mechanics are bad but he gets the job done. I do think he needs to spend the off season improving it as it could make a huge difference next year.

Agreed. Rutgers can air it out and make it a game in a hurry.

Give some people a million dollars in $20s and they'll complain that it wasn't $50s ;-)
