Rutgers Vs Louisville

[GilmerwinState]

Well i really think Rutgers has a chance to win tonight and if that happens that should move texas to number 4 in the bcs standings but i believe at the end of the season its going to be a rematch out of Ohio and Texas because i believe Florida is going to get upset by florida state last game and Michigan loses to Oho

[cats2151]

rutgers will get blown out.

[raider red 2000]

I Think that Louisville will be too much for Rutgers.

I think that Louisville will move the ball a bunch (400+ yards)

and if louisville can stop the run then they will be in good shape....that wont be as easy as it sounde though.

should be a good game.

once again....i wish i had TIVO. 2 weeks in a row i will miss a good game on thursday night.

My pick is Rutgers by 3 da ville can't stop the run and rutgers will pound all night to keep the ball away from them .

[kaorder1999]

Florida doesnt need to lose for Texas to jump them within a week or two. If Tennesee, LSU, and or Arkansas loses, Texas leap frogs Florida. I think Louisville squeeks by Rutgers tonight. If they do, heck, maybe PITT can somehow sneak up on them. Think Louisville can smell it now though.

Rutgers gets exposed tonight.

GWS, and wedo, Louisville won't lose until they play tOSU in the National Championship....

[lostaussie]

I think they have a chance. I have watched them play a couple of times this year and they seem to cover the spread from time to time:D I think they have a better shot at winning than most people think. JMO

[JasperDog94]

I hope you're right.

sure wish I had a 3rd tuner option on the DVR. I have 2 programs that tape at 8 AND 9 PM so I can only watch this game until then. Maybe I'll drop one of the 8PM programs so that I catch more of the game.

Just call up the hottie that lives in your complex and take her out to a sports bar for the game and a little shuffle board.

[sahen]

rutgers has a defense unlike West Va. or Louisville and can force some turnovers...since this game is in New Jersey then Rutgers might have a shot...

[Old Tiger]

Louisville 21
Rutgers 24

[wedo]

Rutgers will keep the ball away from Louiville only if they can get 3rd and short and have a good 3rd down percentage. they don't want to get into a shootout with louiville. If rutgers can 5-6mins on each scoring drive they have a shot! Rutgers best defense against Louiville will be thier offense!

They brought in 5000 extra seats for the game. so there will be over 50,000 in the stadium

[big daddy russ]

I know everyone's hoping and praying, but I just can't see it happening. Louisville's run defense is solid, and the WVU running game is better than Rutgers.'

I think that if Louisville receives the kickoff, it's over. SUNJ is going to have to play field position and control the clock to win the game, and I just can't see the Knights' DBs keeping up with Brohm and co.

If Rutgers falls behind by two TDs, it's over. Period. I think Louisville goes up 14-0 towards the end of the first half. Rutgers rarely scores on the first posession, and they haven't done it yet this year against a run defense with a pulse. (Illinois, Howard, Navy, and UConn are the only teams they've done it against)

I know the Texas fans on the board really want this to happen, and a part of me is pulling for Rutgers (I'm an Auburn fan... they still have a shot at the NC), but I can't see it happening. Any way you want to slice it, SUNJ is a second-tier Big East team. Barely better than UConn, South Florida, Syracuse, and Cincy. On the same level as Pitt and North Carolina (UNC!!! They barely beat I-AA Furman and got shut out by a pathetic Virginia team), but not up to par with the big boys.

This one gets ugly, quick. The Scarlet Knights make the score look respectable in the fourth, but it'll still be ugly. At halftime, I could see the score being 28-3.

Louisville 48
SUNJ 20

Rutgers is the most overrated team in the country right now, not Notre Dame, Auburn, Texas A&M, or Nebraska.

I have to disagree with you IMO Norte Dame is the most overrated team in the top ten. If ND played Tech, tech would put like 60 on that horrible secondary! ND had to out score UCLA, and USC will stomp a hole in them. Auburn is very talented but IMO they aren't playing like it. Irons has been hurt and that is part of the problem. If someone could line up and run they can beat Auburn. Thats what florida did, but the turning point in that game was the block punt. If Tim Tivo (sp) played and they ran the option with him the whole game florida wins by 10 IMO. Auburn will lose another game before the end of the season.

And rutgers by 3! IF and only if they can control the line of scrimmage and keep the ball away from louiville and have to win timo of possesion and have a good 3rd down percentage. In other words play near perfect. And i think they are hyped up enough to get it done tonight!

wedo, I respect your opinion as you're probably one of the more informed CFB fans on the board, but I think that ND's one of those teams who plays to the level of their opponents. They're definitely not the most talented team in the nation, but they can play with anyone on any given day. Tech could very well score 60 on them, but ND would proabably score 75. Can't see Tech taking out the Golden Domers. They may not have a great defense but they have a championship-caliber offense.

The only reason Auburn was susceptible to the run against Arkie was because they were still beat up from the LSU game. One of their DTs was out, one was playing hurt, one starting LB was out and one was suspended. It was a game of matchups, just like the Ole Miss game. Auburn's defense is built to be small but fast anyways, and when you take away the speed of some of the starters and then go right at their weakness on a given day (in this case, the softened-up front seven) and you have a big back to do it, your game plan becomes that much easier. Arkie wouldn't have won if they had played Auburn the week before the Tigers met up with the Bayou Bengals.

And Florida gained a lot of rushing yards against Auburn, but most of them were on trick plays or from the receivers. Tebow got his, as did WRs Percy Harvin and Andre Caldwell (the two receivers combined for 113 yards on eight carries), but the Gators only got 61 rushing yards from their running backs. I know Meyer's offense employs the receivers a lot in all aspects of the game, but he was pulling trick plays out of the bag on this one because he couldn't find a way to break Auburn. Auburn was clearly the better team that day, and that was with the team at about 75%. Both lines had been blown up, so it was easier for Florida and Arkie to control the LOS...

...which leads me to my next point. That Louisville front seven is waaay too much for the Rutgers' OL. Rutgers' best player (Ron Rice) has to get to the LOS and find a way to fall forward for them to be successful, and as big and athletic as the Cardinals' defensive line is, I just don't see it happening.

[g$$]

Rutgers is a feel good story, but Louisville just has too much offense. Ray Rice of Rutgers is a solid RB but that will not be enough. Greg Schiano is doing a great job & may end up in Miami soon. But hey, I was wrong on WVU last week!

Louisville 31
Rutgers 17


**Did Adidas really just say he makes "brownies or cookies" for the big Thurs. night? Wow, that is baby steps buddy! Good luck on the anatomy part anyway.

This game is getting closer. I hope it is a great game and not a blowout either way. I'm hoping for a defensive struggle.

Bull crap roughing the kicker call the ball was tipped but the referee did not see it that way

[VAMike]

Even if it was touched it was not touched by #6 so it is a foul. Good call

[mchavez]

Even if he didn't touch the ball, if you look close he was pushed into the kicker!! No doubt!!

[VAMike]

Even if he was pushed into it was by a legal block which still means he has fouled. You are only exempt from running into or roughing if you are illegally blocked into the kicker

No problem. You can count yourself in the same boat as 99% of coaches and 99.9% of fans who also do not know that (or believe it) ;-)

[big daddy russ]

Well, they made up four points. I knew Louisville's offense would shred the Rutgers D (they haven't played anyone worth a damn all year, that's why they're the second-rated defense in the nation), but Rutgers is proving to be scrappy. Let's go Knights.

[Gobbla2001]

Okay... Rutgers just kneeled the ball to end the half, which brings me to a question...

Why do it?

I myself would have thrown a strike, you maybe get two chances...

but maybe that's why I'm not a coach

Let's go Knights. Actually the D is playign alright. Special teams has been the key so far in the game BDR. 'If' they do not return that kick for a td this is a 18-14 maybe 17-14 ball game. ;) But like I have said before....if your aunt had balls she would be your uncle.

I don't know, 213 yards in a half isn't exactly great D.;)

[VAMike]

Does the 213 include just run and pass or does it include return yardage also?

[big daddy russ]

I agree with you. I don't think Rutgers has the horses to keep up with Louisville, so they have to take advantage of every opportunity they get.

Then again, I think every team should go for it at the end of the half.

[big daddy russ]

Originally posted by VAMike

Just offense. No special teams. They have three more passing yards than RU's total yards.

I hate to say it, but Rutgers is getting dominated. They're still in it, thank God, but they're lucky they are. Louisville's playing sloppy and still doing alright. Granted, RU isn't playing mistake-free, but they'd better start if they want to keep up with the Cards.

I'd just like to hear the logic behind it...

my logic would be:

If I had the ball, and I'm the underdog, and the good offensive team gets the ball FIRST in the second half, I go for it so that maybe I can get some points before they do so my team will have a better chance...

In a close game, where I get the ball first in the second half, and am playing a team that has the guys to score against mine, I go for it then, get those points, then try to get the first points of the second half...

I want to know why you wouldn't... may be good reasons, I mean obviously you're going for a deep ball and it's almost like a punt, maybe don't want their guy bringing it back to the house, but I think you take your chances... that's just me though...

[mchavez]

What do ya'll see in the second half?

I see a comeback by the Rutgers, but Louisville will pull it off!!

[big daddy russ]

I always hear "we don't want to turn the ball over" and "you don't want to give the other team momentum," but aren't you taking that chance on every drive?

I've been to a few coaching schools and I still haven't heard a single reason that makes sense to me. Maybe it's that I'm a little reckless in most aspects of my life, maybe it's that I just have some common sense. Either way, it still doesn't make sense when teams do that, especially when you're either down or you have a chance to ice the game.

[Gobbla2001]

I think Rutgers is doing a good job of pressuring the QB and that'd be about it... they do have decent coverage forcing the QB to either hold on to the ball too long or to make bad decisions... not too bad for going man to man with those good 'Ville receivers...

gunna take a lot more though... let's see what halftime adjustments work and which ones don't, because there are gunna have to be major adjustments for both teams...

[big daddy russ]

I hope so. Rutgers is doing a lot better than I thought they would.

Honestly, I think Louisville slowly pulls away unless SUNJ gets some momentum behind them. If Rutgers falls behind by three TDs, it's over.

I can definitely see Bobby Petrino putting together some adjustments (Rutgers' in-game adjustments started slowing down that offense towards the end of the half) and putting one in the endzone to start the second half.

[Gobbla2001]

I honestly think Rutgers is maybe doing the best they can do on defense... offense is where they should adjust... what they should do beats me, but they need to do something...

Louisville's defense is alright out there, but on offense they have to protect the QB of course, I think they're gunna come out and mix it up a bit before falling back into their bread and butter (ewwww tricky)...

but as I've said, that may be why I'm NOT a coach...

[mchavez]

I sure hope the Rutgers win though!! Everyone in Austin is rooting for them!!

I'm not sure, but I would guess that RU is blitzing their LB's because they're not athletic enough to man up in coverage. I noticed that they're not really blitzing their DB's, but send a LB or two (I include their bandits/rovers/whatever you wanna call them with the LB's) just about every play.

I'd like to see the Knights blitz a little, then hang everyone back into a max coverage.

Of course I'm not the coach and Coach Schiano is light years ahead of me in the play calling department, so we'll just have to see what happens.

[Gobbla2001]

they just rushed him again... holding or not on that last run they just can't compete with that guy, he's bigger than their DT's ha

[big daddy russ]

Niiiice. Love the home cooking. Keep it coming. :D

That WR had him beat. Could've easily turned up field for another 10 yards.

But there was a pretty good block in the back on the kick-off return so that breaks it even for the second half I guess...

Special teams may be a thing to work on

[Gobbla2001]

another sack...

[Gobbla2001]

I'd say catching the ball isn't a bad idea...

[mchavez]

Another freaking drop!!

[Gobbla2001]

if they can keep it up on defense and start catchin' balls on offense they can make it happen...

looking at the numbers...Louisville is running the ball about 60% of the time so it's hard drop the guys back into a max coverage as they need the guys back up in the box.

[Gobbla2001]

WOWWWWWW

Good example why you need to get downfield when one of your teammates (or an opponent) is on a breakaway run

sad that there was a illegal shift on that play...

was it something the player did wrong individually or was it the play call that was bad?

I just have hard time believe coaches call plays that are illegal...

I've seen a lot of those calls this year in both HS and college and do not understand why the coaches would call plays with illegal shifts in them...

In December 1825, the trustees rename the college in honor of Colonel Henry Rutgers, a prominent laymen in the Dutch Church, president of its Board of Corporation, and a church elder. Descended from an old New York Dutch family, he possessed valuable land holdings in the city. The Colonel graduated from King's College, was a Revolutionary war veteran, and held various posts of civic importance in New York. A bachelor, he later devoted $5,000 and the central college bell which still hangs in the Old Queens building.

Those off the street trivia question answers are hilarious.

sad that there was a illegal shift on that play...

was it something the player did wrong individually or was it the play call that was bad?

I just have hard time believe coaches call plays that are illegal...

I've seen a lot of those calls this year in both HS and college and do not understand why the coaches would call plays with illegal shifts in them...

It was not an illegal shift but was illegal motion by the receiver. Just before the snap he hopped forward so he was moving forward at the snap. Foul for illegal motion (which is what the R signalled although the idiot announcer said illegal shift)

[Old Tiger]

Mike what is yoru favorite penalty to call?

Good!:)

[Old Tiger]

Louisville forced to punt

[mchavez]

If they drive down the field they probably can melt the clock down to the last minute!!

[Old Tiger]

yup


huge run by Rice!

[Old Tiger]

big flare route!!!

[mchavez]

OOOOO YEA BABY!!!

[Adidas410s]

huge pass into the flats...Rutgers needs 1 more 1st down to be in solid FG territory...

[Adidas410s]

while Rice is a solid runner...I don't think I like the quick "sprint toss" play that they like to run. It seems like the play is bottled up from the start and the 4-5 yards that Rice has got a few times on the play is about the most that he can get.

[Old Tiger]

Rice is just punishing the defenders!

[Adidas410s]

Rice with a 20 yard run to the Louisville 20. This is Rutgers game to win now with under 1:30 left.

[Adidas410s]

haha...they are singing "We Will Rock You"

:clap: :clap: :clap:

[mrescape43]

What an exciting game to watch!

[DU_stud04]

great game!:clap: :clap: :clap:

[Old Tiger]

First down here and it could be the ball game

[Adidas410s]

some time will be left on the clock after this field goal attempt. Probably 12-15 seconds after this play...remember the clock starts on the kickoff as well.

[VAMike]

FG attempt is blocked and on the return, Rutgers commits a FM foul.

[Old Tiger]

21 Seconds FG range!!!!

[mchavez]

All i care if the Rutgers win, is that Texas can get closer to the NC!!

Are you that far ahead of the rest of us?

[Old Tiger]

OFFSIDES!!!! ONE MORE TRY!!!!!

[Adidas410s]

wow...he missed it but there was offsides on the play.

[DU_stud04]

missed...but louisville was offsides!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :clap: :clap: :D

[Sinton94]

UBELIEVEABLE!

[Adidas410s]

didn't miss that time...

[Old Tiger]

FIELD GOAL IS GOOD!!!!!



LOUISVILLE 25
RUTGERS 28




GO RUTGERS GO!!!!!!!

[Sinton94]

PARTY IN AUSTIN TONIGHT!:clap: :clap: :clap:

[luvhoops34]

He got a second chance and made it good. Un freaking believeable!

[VAMike]

Will they pull a Wisconsin and go offside on KO on purpose to ru time off????

[Old Tiger]

This kickoff needs to sail through the endzone

[luvhoops34]

Where will this put UT in the BCS?

[DU_stud04]

rutgers ahs looked amazing this second half, big congrads to them

13 seconds left to play!:mad:

[handNthedirt]

this makes the bcs reeeeal interesting.

[Adidas410s]

They came into the game ranked #2 in the country giving up an average of 227.4 yards/game. Tonight, they have given up 246 yards to the #2 offense in the country in Louisville. Looks pretty legit to me...:clap: :clap: :clap:

[Old Tiger]

Game isn't over yet

[Old Tiger]

LAST PLAY!!!


WITH ONE SECOND REMAINING!





CORRECTION 2

[Adidas410s]

wow I can't believe they kicked that ball. Uh oh...Rutgers students on the field but there is 1 second left in the game. Better get them off the field...

[Old Tiger]

SACKED GAME OVER!!!! GO RUTGERS!!!!!

[NDFootball]

WOW

RUTGERS WINS

[Sinton94]

YEAH BABY!

[mchavez]

Well now we can say Louisville is OVERRATED!!!!

[VAMike]

overreated? or did they run into a rutgers team that wont say no to anything?

[Old Tiger]

The real question now is, is Rutgers underrated?

[Gobbla2001]

little bit of both maybe...

[Gobbla2001]

Louisville didn't show much heart out there... that's what I gathered from it anyway... Rutgers just played great football, great execution...

[gobbler grad]

WOW...that was some game...down 25-7 and they fight their way back ...very exciting...:clap:

[kaorder1999]

HOLY CRAP!!! Have fun BCS

[3afan]

amazing ..........


best sign: it's R time

[Old Tiger]

I think my scores were the closest



Rutgers 24
Louisville 21

^^^^^^^^^
My pre-game picks.

[injuredinmelee]

what does this say about the Big East? I agree with Gobbla Lousiville showed no heart. They def didnt look like the #3 team in the nation.

[injuredinmelee]

Both teams are so undersized. Can you imagine the devastation that the Ohio State, Michigan, Or UT offensive lines would rain down on those defenses?

[VAMike]

Rutgers barely beat North Carolina, barely beat U of S Florida and barely beat Conneticut This was an entertaining game but Rutgers is NOT a top tier team.

[3afan]

no they're not - but they have a lot of fans in Texas right now!

[injuredinmelee]

Im gonna wear red tomorrow in honor of the Scarlet Knights. I dont own any scarlet but my red looks prety close to theirs.

dont matter - if Texas wins out neither can pass them ...............

[mrescape43]

They looked very good. I was reading an article on how their coach has turned the program around. He has done an amazing job.

[Hupernikomen]

I would think whoever the 1 loss SEC team is after their conference final has the inside track to the 2nd spot in the BCS over Texas because the computers hate the Big XII this year.

[big daddy russ]

Woo hoo! One of those times I was glad that I was wrong.

IMO the SEC champion isn't going to have 1 loss whoever it is will have two!

[wedo]

Hey russ now do you think Louiville is overrated?

[pirate4state]

This was a fun game to watch!! :)

At three, yes. They belong in the 10-15 range, IMO.

[big daddy russ]

...is from Cali. Wonder if he's related to Lance.

[mwynn05]

I told y'all Rutgers was a good team but no one believed me there defense shut down a very good Louisville offense (remember one of Louisville's TD's was a kick return) all the talk about how Rutgers would get shown up..I think that if Rutgers wins out they should have a SHOT at the National Title...i mean all they can do is win all of their games... the current system is a shame

[VAMike]

Saw a report that says he is no relation although his teammates nicknamed him "The Judge"

Lance probably wishes he had a second chance to make it right like Jeremy got...;)

[Adidas410s]

people keep saying that he got a 2nd chance after blowing the 1st field goal. However, when I was watching the kick, it seemed to me that the long snapper snapped the ball once he saw that a guy was offsides for Louisville. Thus, Ito may not have been set and ready and expecting to kick the ball and thus rushing through his motion and pulling the kick would seem very likely. Any thoughts?

I agree. It didn't look like he was set the first time.

[maroonpunt]

but he made the tackle on the kick return at the end of the game, and he missed it on the return for a td in the 2nd which was just as big a play as his winning kick.....hooray for rutgers.

[g$$]

I was wrong & give Rutgers credit. They held Louisville to 266 total yds. & 0 pts. in the 2nd half. Brohm looked confused & was hurried a lot from the 1st quarter on to the end.

Now the BCS is wide open again.

[mwynn05]

Rutgers is good and if they run the table they deserve a chance at the title that's why we need a playoff.....how many times do you see a team that goes undefeated and beats the #3 team in the nation not make the national title (these are all ifs) a playoff definitely should be created in college football

I think they have a chance. I have watched them play a couple of times this year and they seem to cover the spread from time to time:D I think they have a better shot at winning than most people think. JMO I have been gone............but I just wanted ya'll to remember this magnanimous pick from thursday night:D I gotta go count my pennies:thumbsup:
