Wednesday NCAAFB: Rutgers @ USF
Special teams coverage is laughable. Rutgers returned a punt with 5 unblocked guys in his face at the catch. All 5 assumed fair catch. Guy runs right past them. 10 blockers were then on 6 defenders. Touchdown Rutgers.
The ensuing kick off, returns it 63 yards, but there's a hold on the opposite side of the field unrelated to the return, therefore pushing USF back to the 12 yard line or so.
1st Q just ended, tied 7-7.

Also, I hate the black pants. Black is not one of Rutger's colors. Scarlet and white only please. Bad, overplayed gimmick.
November 3rd, 2010 at 7:51 PM ^
Wait, today is tuesday? ;)
November 3rd, 2010 at 7:55 PM ^
Excellent point. The lack of Arkansas State over Middle Tennessee thread confused me. Or, more seriously, my week has been so busy that Monday and Tuesday kind of melded into one long Monday. Title to be adjusted shortly.

Go Rutgers!!! I had to take them as a double digit dog against a fellow average Big East team
That said, I find it rather amazing that Schiano has a winning record at Rutgers. They were 40-80-1 before he got there. It was the farthest thing from an instant turnaround for him. And, finally, this year he nudges past the. 500 mark for his career there. I know a lot of fans here dont like these new teams, but the more the merrier where I come from. I've enjoyed watching him build this
November 3rd, 2010 at 7:57 PM ^
New teams? Do explain.
I think I'd taken Rutgers and the points as well. +10.5 is a pretty wide spread for USF who has looked dysfunctional as all get out this season.
November 3rd, 2010 at 8:17 PM ^
Rutgers is co-oldest program in college footbaw! But yeah, black pants...No-no.
November 3rd, 2010 at 8:20 PM ^
yeah, great description calling the program that played the first ever college game a new team.
I sometimes get the feeling there's a demographic on every college football board I've seen that's got a bug in their butt about all these upstart programs that have popped up into prominence the last decade or so. Not a large demographic. But they can be loud.
I like the new faces. More teams to watch. More games to watch. I like it.
November 3rd, 2010 at 7:57 PM ^
Go Rutgers. Schiano made 2 guys co-offensive coordinators. That never works. It's killing them this year. Also, their offensive line this year is kinda like UM's defense. Yeah, that bad.
A little UM tidbit BTW. CB Charles Jackson committed to Nebraska today. I know we were interested. Crap.
November 3rd, 2010 at 8:00 PM ^
"That's what Denard Robinson does at Michigan."
The fact that the pass was a wounded duck made that description even better.
Dr. Lou in his USF gear. Can we just not have him on TV unless he's in the studio ever.
November 3rd, 2010 at 8:25 PM ^
Speaking of dysfunctional. USF 2x in a row.
November 3rd, 2010 at 8:48 PM ^
not too shabby
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:04 PM ^
They just said that the USF DC, Mark Snyder, used to coach at Ohio State. Is he a realistic candidate to replace GERG?
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:27 PM ^
GERG has been fired?
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:35 PM ^
I should gave said, "if" we were to replace him.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:20 PM ^
USF seems to be moving the ball at will, their RBs are running through many bad tackles.
Edit: Never mind. Rutgers actually made a stop on 3rd and goal. I take it back.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:28 PM ^
If it weren't for the inside pitch, USF wouldn't be moving the ball at all. Rutgers seems totally unprepared for it.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:30 PM ^
It's a pretty sick play though.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:32 PM ^
No doubt. They've run it about as good as Florida did with Hernandez.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
And Rutgers has the worst play fake ever.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:32 PM ^
I've been hearing that whistle this entire half. I hope that kid gets punched in the mouth.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:33 PM ^
Worst screen ever. Who throws a fucking screen in the endzone? What the fuck was that? I'm stunned.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
Paul Ciarrocca has to have play calling duties taken away after this year. That is if they even retain him at all.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:35 PM ^
That's bizarre. They must have seen something to call it, but still.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:40 PM ^
Good grief, Rutgers.
That was pretty big for the spread. At +10.5, I could have survived if USF gets back to back TDs. Now, I would lose. Come on Schiano, think of the gamblers next time
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:41 PM ^
Wow he just threw it right at him. Bad interception.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:41 PM ^
That's alright, coach. Justin Francis has all of our backs.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
I wish I could have a GIF of the face Coach Shiano was just making.
November 3rd, 2010 at 9:50 PM ^
Daniels threw that with some TOUCH. Dang.
