Just How Bad is Rutgers?

[Johnsoda123]

Lost to Kansas 55-14, Illinois 38-17, Buffalo 42-13.

There is bettor in Vegas called Duffel Bag Boy that has cleaned up the last two years betting the spread against Rutgers. He literally carries around a duffel bag to pick up his winnings.

How bad? I believe Iowa's 2nd string would have a decent chance of beating Rutgers this year. Seriously, I think it would be a good game.

 

[QChawks]

offense is ranked 128/129 teams
defense is ranked 99/129 teams

 

[Abbysdad]

Seriously bad. With a downward trajectory.

 

[Robster Raws]

Barely better than if 22 of us between ages 29-45 started a team.

 

[kcgolfer]

Two levels below gawd awful.

 

[Slappy Pappy]

That quarterback! Seems like any D.III guy would do better.

 

[Gridiron24]

There are 28 FCS teams better than them. TWENTY EIGHT

Northwestern is in 1st Place in the Big Ten West...
and Northwestern does play Rutgers this weekend...

but...
Northwestern has never beaten Rutgers...
Northwestern is 0-3 against Rutgers.

Advantage : Rutgers

As much as I would like Rutgers to beat NW, I don't see it happening. Rutgers is that bad.

Bad, real bad. Michael Jackson.

Behind that OL, and surrounded by that ragtag bunch of MAC-level talent, Tagovailoa or Haskins couldn't do much better.

I really wish they were good. Both Chris Ash and Jay Niemann are Iowans and I want them to do well.

Have heard Ash is a great guy and smart coach.
Tough job getting rutgers going good again.

 

[HawkIDrummer]

yeah, but that TV market...

 

[tvandam]

UNI would do better in the BIGTEN than them.

 

[anon_bb9wlf9kj42py]

Sagarin has them at a cool #153. There are only 129 FBS teams.

They’re not quite Nebber bad, but they’re bad.

Howd that work out against Indiana?

 

[Johnsoda123]

Howd that work out against Indiana?

Considering Rutgers is 1-5 against the spread I'd say fade the Scarlet Knights every week.

 

[iclone]

Rutgers gave up over 400 yards rushing to KU.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

They’ve got everyone fooled. Just wait.

 

[twindman]

So everyone is saying they have a chance?

Badder than bad bad eternity awful

They'd be a middle of the pack team in the Missouri Valley.

I was watching one of their B10 games and they kept repeating how much Rutgers likes their qb. If they liked him so much they may not want to kill him behind that o line.

rutgers is so bad that they are giving away tickets with the purchase of ONE frozen pizza...

a totinos.

 

[hawk eyedoc]

Serious question here: Rutgers is really a 4-5 yr turnaround project. Does Ash get any time past this year, his 3rd?

My feelings are that he gets fired this year and Rutgers resets the turnaround clock. He really needs at least 1 more yr. Same thoughts with Illinois.

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Rutgers statistically still has a shot at the B1G East. Reddit has figured it out

I totally agree with that, especially on defense. If everyone is healthy our second team defense is DE- Gholston, DT- Rieff, DT- Lattimore, DE- Epenesa, WILL- Colbert, MIKE- Jones, LEO- Hooker, SS- Milani, FS- Stone, C- Ojemudia, C- Hankins. Milani is the only question mark. We've seen how well the rest of them can play. And every one of them return next year!

Offense might be a little shaky, but I don't think Rutgers could score much on our defense.

 

[PIHAWK]

After dinner, I wished my good Rutgers friend best of luck in beating NW tomorrow. Hope there's some power in my wish.

 

[CFNiteHawk85]

We should form a Hawkeye Report team and go play them.

 

[cheerscoach]

We should form a Hawkeye Report team and go play them.

If I coach this team, we can't fail.....

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I can punt and kick. I was an intramural quarterback for 4 years. Any of that matter?

 

[Kurt Warner]

So bad the big 10 should have their azz kicked for adding them

 

[thecarls]

They are the worst Big10 team I ever remember.

 

[MikeT2425]

Rutgers chant: "Thank God for Incarnate Word!".

We need skill position guys. Plenty of linemen on these forums I suspect.
