We beat the spread of 14 points, so we have that going for us .

Obviously, I am disappointed in how our defense played but we didn't lay an egg nor pull a liberty in the past.

Took the pedal off the gas 1 or 2 series too soon and then compounded it by getting caught off guard by an early onside kick. Should have been a 4 touchdown win.

Have you guys forgotten that we still have a lot of players who are FCS quality right? This shouldn't be a shocker that we didn't play well during the second half.

I know tonight wasn't pretty but I think you miss just how bad Rutgers is.

[Cider Jim]

Worst defense I ever seen.

Coach Wimbo called and thanks you for the support!

[TH Spangler]

At least we won't go to Rutgers overconfident

[tyndal23]

perfect game for staff to light up d while our O got a lot of confidence -and the tempo offense showed up.

The defense fell apart, but a win is a win. I'll take it. I just hope they can get it together.

Some nice perspective:

Buckshot first 7 games last year 16 TD's and 7 picks, completion percentage around 55%.

Buckshot first 7 games this year 15 TD's and 3 picks with a 60% completion rate.

Regardless of how our defense played tonight

2018 through 7 games we gave up 35 ppg.

2019 through 7 games we have given up 24 ppg.

Secondary?

Lack of coverage on short and intermediate routes, and lack of pressure on long routes.

The sideline fades were rolling for them in the second half. Seemed like a targeted strategy by them to which we failed to adjust for awhile over multiple series.
