Yeah, that TD was terrible. Just terrible.

That's really why I'm having a tough time being optimistic here. I can easily see the offense scoring on most of the rest of their drives, but I don't know where the stops are going to come from. Probably need to get lucky with some turnovers.

If you keep forcing Rutgers to feel like they have to score, I have no doubt Nova will throw a couple picks. Dude is a turnover machine.

And that TD looked way too easy.

Well, doubt they score in this quick of a window, but we do get second half kickoff so that's a chance to take the lead even if we don't catch lightning before half here.

Was an ok drive defensively at least. Solid pressure.

Huh. I have no clue about this new kicker, all he's done so far is make his XPs and one chip shot earlier, but pretty awesome if Rutgers just handed us 3 points by being donkeys there.

EDIT: ****. Ah well.

eeeeeeeeeek

Can't hate on the effort there. Really close.


in other news LOLOLOLOL dave wannstedt is now an analyst for college football. It's about ****ing time everyone that hires coaches realized he was god awful and his strategy of "opening drive FG? Time to run the clock trying to hold the lead and look confused when it isn't enough to win" doesn't deserve to be coaching. Awesome first impact on the show too:

Dave: Nova scares me if I'm Rutgers, I just run the ball and keep it out of his hands
Other guy: Wait, didn't you recruit Nova?
Dave: Yeah, that's why I'm sitting here

Alright, well all things considered the game isn't in terrible shape, and we were dominated for quite a bit of that half.

Yea, I think you guys are in pretty good shape here all things considered.

I didn't show up until after his INT, but Halliday has looked really good from what I've seen. This game is fun.

Our defense is just so bad. I'm very doubtful we've dealt with our last deficit. My attitude right now is that I wouldn't mind Rutgers scoring a TD in 3-4 minutes just because that would give us enough time to have a solid final possession.

But a turnover is in play too. I'll hope for that.

Also his INT was terribly ugly, but yeah he's hit a nice groove since then and has played really well overall.

I got a slant being jumped for an int this drive

edit:I r not profit


edit 2: oh for ****s sake really

So three and out was...not one of the scenarios I thought was likely.

This is why I drink.

understandable

Except that I actually can't in this case because I do need to get up for work in the morning, in like six hours. ****.

The correct answer is drink until work

That would feel hypocritical since I prosecute people for being drunk at work.

Alright, well 3:24 is an eternity for this offense. Time to come up with one more score.

I imagine you have some incredible stories from that.

This game. Holy crap it's awful rooting for this program. Blah.

yuck

I hate it when people have no idea how to modulate their tone so that you can reasonably detect the importance of what they want to talk to you about.

Big boss comes into my office just now. Very serious tone.
Him: "Hey, can I talk to you about something?"
Me (internally): ****.
Me (externally): "Yeah, what's up?"
Him: "Did you file <insert complaint here> yet?"
Me: "Yeah, yesterday morning."
Him: "Okay, just wanted to make sure that it got filed before the end of the month. Thanks!"

WTF dude. Don't frighten me like that. It's like the fifth different time that I thought that he was mad at me and confronting me about something serious, and each time I've just been going "WTF, what did I do??" before he quickly brings up something trivial.

That seems to be an inherent boss quality. It's weird
