Week 6: Rutgers- Depth Chart, Notes, Odds & Ends, Etc

[Seaofred92]

Nebraska is just under a touchdown favorite over Rutgers

 

[Goskers07]

Lfg

 

[Kaladin]

New FPI rankings, Big10 only

 

[stonesak]

That Puffalo win doin' work for us.

[HerbRedman]

Why is Illinois so low? Bc their Kansas win is tanking?

Has to be. Even then it seems wrong that they’re rated that low

Only loss is to the 8th ranked team and they’ve beaten the 29th ranked team

Because outside of 1 quarter vs Nebraska, their metrics have been near the Power 4 median average for production.

If you remember, they had 69 rushing yards on 23 carries going into the 4th quarter vs. Nebraska.

They were also a bizarre end zone interception away from allowing 31 points in regulation.

FPI also ranks Nebraska at #129 in special teams efficiency. FPI thinks Illinois loses to most teams when nebraska missed that late field goal.

We seriously have to beat Rutgers. Any team/school worth a shit doesn’t lose to Rutgers

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Yeah if Rhule sends the kicking unit onto the field outside of a PAT, we're gonna need to ask some questions

 

[herbsinator]

Really feels like a must win game this week. Never a good thing when you’re talking about Rutgers…

 

[whoboppin]

I feel like the media/fanbase has been building Rutgers up the whole offseason when they are more or less an average Minnesota team. Its a home game, it should be a W. Just convert redzone opportunities and dont do Nebraska shenanigans.

That's not even hyperbole. Since the season 2015, Rutgers has never won a road Big Ten game vs. a team that finished the season with more than 5 wins.

If a team is literally worth a shit, they don't lose to Rutgers.

 

[Kaladin]

Boy got skillz

Corndawg, if I had a nickel for every time you've said shit like this over.the last decade and we've done the thing, I'd have modest amount of nickels

Yeah zero percent sarcastic. If we are heading in the right direction, right now, Saturday is a must win and any other outcome, in my opinion, is an utter failure amongst the staff and the players and the W-L prediction on the rest of the year is out the window, and I think it could be concluded that no major progress has taken place. Rutgers should never be an L when wearing the N.

That’s what I was saying. This is a must win if we are who we think we are.
