Turnovers hurt them a lot too.(BTW great come back!)
We won despite ourselves though.
Nice win. I need to remind everyone I called it. Even the 3 point margin.
Congrats on the win today. It was a great home and home series. Good luck on the rest of your season. Fwiw your offense beat us today. We did not get the needed stops.
Good win.
Good win.
I'd be happy to trade in a few of those penalties for the 14 we gifted them on returns.(BTW great come back!)
Good game, great series. Ironically, I thought we were the better team last season and that you were the better team today.
Good luck the rest of the way.
Good luck the rest of the way.
That obviously was a huge factor, but the offense still had to march 90 yards in a minute and a half which they did. Falk through for nearly 500 yards. Penalties helped, but this was a great win to go across the country and beat a likely bowl team in their house.
Great game guys... Your Cougs showed a lot of guts especially after what should have been a dagger punt return. Great win for you and we'll be rooting you on from here on out.
Are you Jason Gesser? Because at the pre-function in NYC on Thursday, Gesser predicted 37-34 Cougs. Not bad.Nice win. I need to remind everyone I called it. Even the 3 point margin.
Rutgers faced a lot of headwinds here, with a pair of unforced turnovers, a spate of suspended players, and drive-killing penalties.
But it wasn't all tailwinds for us.
If you were at the game, you may have noticed some crazy spots going on that seemed to benefit Rutgers exclusively. I think refs ended up playing a minor role in this game, but it might have gotten out of control early with perfect spots. Didn't seem pronounced in the 2nd half, but in the first, there were a half a dozen spots where we were shorted by cumulatively 10-15 yards. I snapped this picture at the game when they "stopped" us on I think our second 4th down attempt. Note that we were in their territory; i.e., trying to make progress to the right. Look at where the first down marker is, then where the ball is. Seriously, that doesn't even get a measurement? To me it's semi-clearly a conversion, but at the very least you have to measure. Nope, turnover.
