West Virginia has a ton of weapons, as does Louisville. Rutgers cannot compete against WVU and Lousiville in the Big East. The only reason they did so well last year was because no one really expected them to make a big push like that. This year, the competition is gonna turn up the heat on Ray Rice and expose Rutgers' weak QB play. They're a one man offense. | |

It definitely isn't bad. Ray Rice is not the only good player. Mike Teel (QB) looks much better this year. He had a career high in passing in his last game against Buffalo. And Tiquan Underwood broke the school record for receiving yards in a game with 248 last thursday against Buffalo. The line is also good.
I am aware the last game was against Buffalo but to say they're Offense isn't good sounds dumb to me. They will compete against Louisville and WVU. Wait till October 27th. I'm hoping Rutgers and WVU will both be undefeated and the chances of that are good.

| It's tough to call them a very good offense when they lost their best player to the NFL last year. Ray Rice is not going to be the same guy because of the absence of Brian Leonard. That's the bottom line. And if the running game is weak, Rutgers is going to have to start relying on Teel, who is just god awful. Let me remind you that he's the same guy who threw more INTs than TDs and had a completion percentage of just above 55 last year. Sorry, that's not gonna cut it in D-1 football. | |

| Ray Rice had 184 yards last game and 3 TDs. Teel had 2 TD passes/300+ yards. He seems to be much better this year. It's a little early to tell since last weeks game was against Buffalo. We'll wait to see. Your entitled to your opinion though?

Cals offense is impressive this year, I really underestimated Nate, hopefully the Pac Ten will get some respect nationally this year, and we won't have to hear comments from Les Miles anymore. | |

| I think a lot of people, including the ESPN commentators, were rooting for Cal tonight after the LSU's coach made that classless comment about USC/Pac-10 publicly. | |

| The SEC's good and all, but the Pac-10 isn't anything to sneer at. It was great seeing the dejected Tennessee crowd leave to the chant "Pac-10 Football" though =P. GO BEARS!!! | |

| i HATE cal, but i have to admit they're offense was great against tennessee. i still think the SEC is the toughest conference to play in though.  i guess the Pac-10 deserves a little more respect. | |

| It's not so much about whether what LSU coach said is true or not. It's his classless act of commenting on it, especially when the season hasn't even started yet. It was stupid and unnecessary. If it were the end of the season and he's trying to lobby for his team to get into NC, then it's probably different.

Uhh, I don’t think putting up 28 and 39 points against UL and WVU, respectively, qualifies as “not having a good offense”.
And the Rutgers O – outgained BOTH the UL and WVU O’s last year in their respective matchups (RU: 332 net yds; 6.5 yds avg gain / UL: 266 net yds; 4 yds avg gain; RU: 452 net yds; 7.2 yds avg gain / WVU: 439 net yds; 5.7 yds avg gain).
And while Teal is still a developing QB, he still managed to pass for more yds than either the UL or WVU QBs.
(Granted, these stats may just mean that UL’s and WVU D’s stink worse than RU’s – but RU still has to have a pretty good O to put up these numbers). Quote:

| CB -
I never quite understood why you were disparaging Cal's speed - if anything, the Pac-10 is known for being a "speed and finesse" conference, with the criticism of being a "soft" conference. | |

To be completely honest, it had nothing to do with their players, I was just sick and tired of Cal getting hyped (think back to last season when people were crowning them Pac-10 champs in the pre season) and I figured that Tennessee would be a lot faster, probably because I bought into the SEC speed hype. | |

| Maybe, but at least it will bring some heated competition if Pac-10 v. SEC meet in bowl games. And what a game if USC and LSU meet in the NC... | |
