Enough politics, Rutgers football!

<p>You have to really love that coach. (alum of the same high school that Phil Simm’s older son attended in Franklin Lakes, NJ)</p>

<p>Remarkable game. </p>

<p>One thing never mentioned about that team is that no running back racks up yardage as Ray Rice does without having a terrific line. Those guys are not getting their due.</p>

<p>Agree dadx - Schiano has done amazing things and that line opened up holes like magic.</p>

<p>That kicker Ito is thanking his lucky stars that Louisville player jumped offsides after he missed a 33 yard field goal. No offense to Rutgers fans, but if they somehow make it to the BCS title game against either OSU or U of M, the score is going to be like 63-21, a real blowout.</p>

<p>I thought the same thing about their game against Lousville, and in the first half it looked possibly correct. But…they were inches away from a huge play on the first snap with that over-the-top pass call. The kick-off return against them was a one-play score that has some randomness to it, and they did block the extra point, which unfortunately turned into a two point conversion. </p>

<p>The NY sports radio pundits had pointed out that Louisville was in a different league than anyone else RU had played, and that they (Louisville) had a “big time” quarterback, which they do. Amazingly, Rutgers was able to overcome it. </p>

<p>Ito was very happy to have a second chance, but he hit it nicely, as he did earlier on the 40ish yarder, which wasn’t a chip shot by any means. They were very lucky on the long completion down the right side late that their receiver recovered his own fumble.</p>

<p>I don’t think they’re going to make the title game even if they’re unbeaten. I think its a good chance it will be a Wolverine Buckeye-rematch.</p>

<p>dadx, I wish that what you say about a UM-OSU rematch were correct, but the only way I see that happening is if the game is very well played by both sides and it comes down to the final play of the game or something equally as close. However, first they both have to get by this week’s games which is no slam dunk after last week’s terrible play. There is no doubt that both Rutgers and Louisville could have beaten the OSU and UM teams that played last week.</p>

26

<p>They also said the same thing about Rutgers before they played Pitt…</p>

27

<p>For DH and me it wasn’t so much about Rutgers winning as it was about Louisivlle losing. Now I probably won’t have to listen to my brother go on and on and on about U of L sports during Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks Rutgers!!!</p>

<p>GO VOLS!</p>

<p>dadx: And Phil Simms’ younger son is heading to Louisville next year. </p>

Oh come on… Doesn’t everyone celebrate life’s milestones & victories by lighting upholstered furniture on fire?</p>

<p>Have you seen the picture of the Empire State Building all lit up in scarlet? Pretty amazing.</p>
