They couldn't run the ball. Sign of a weak offense.
D looked pretty good but might be undisciplined. Hard to say.... Rutgers sucks
To refute my earlier statement (and to apologize to @TierbsHsotBoobs slightly) the one thing I was expecting to see was Gaskin gashing them for 12 yds at a time effortlessly. That didn't happen. Agree its a concern.
Yes, @Tequilla was right, I watched it again. 8 in the box at a minimum. They set up to stop Gaskin. So we beat them over the top.
That's not a bad thing strategically. Show the rest of the fuckers that Brownsocks has an arm so play us straight up. I think a lot of you assclowns miss the strategic thinking in scrimmages.
BUT, as a man, who I hope, has some integrity, I will say, even with 8 in the box, we should run over people. (It didn't work for Stanford in the 2nd half...holla!) But we should have been better on the run. @PurpleJ et al are correct.
Overall. My boy Jake can hit the deep and scramble and throw as I predicted. Don't judge anything on the rest of the game. My boy Pete, strategic thinker that he is, took the opportunity to scrimmage. We gained more value in putting in 75th stringers than we would have by winning 105-3.
Oh, and btw, Don James talked about 3 phases. Our special teams, to quote a skinny jean wearing midget are "special". And its not just fast dudes. That's coaching.
Good: Browning on the run, Azeem's intimidation factor, special teams - all facets, 1st team pass pro, Attitude.
Bad: Sloppy offense, edge rush lacking, couldn't push around a 3rd tier Big10 team in the run game, 2nd team defensive backs look like a huge drop off, and JSmith playcalling flowed better only by the lack of Wild Swede. Hand it to Telford already.
No need to swallow a road flare or doog out yet. LIPO.

Found this gem at the 50:48 mark while watching the first half of the game. I believe Azeem tells him "You suck ass son. You weak." but not 100% sure.

No run game, no pass rush, almost threw (should have been) a pick 6 just before halftime. Same Jonathan Smith bullshit playcalling.
Took 2 special teams TDs to make the game look like a blowout.
