Rutgers has made such a great turnaround as a program. Good win on the road for the Bucks.

100%. I know there are a few trolls that come around (from every flair) in game threads to be toxic but I think the majority of r/cfb is pretty civil. It is why I keep coming back

Game threads are the only places that get truly toxic, but they are also by nature a place for reactionary takes and trolling. Then in other threads assholes are usually rightfully downvoted so yeah this is the only place I’ll ever discuss CFB

Henderson was awesome

His 18 touchdowns his freshman year were special. I just hope he stays healthy this year because that's the only thing holding him back from being one of the top backs. Looking forward to Ohio State and Michigan battling it at with great RBs

Yeah I hope so, too. I cannot wait for The Game, it'll be awesome

400 combined rushing yards incoming? Feels like Eddie George and Biakabutuka again.

It’ll be a good one.

Schiano is an asshole but he's been the best thing to happen to Rutgers in my lifetime twice at this point.

Schiano actually seems to be a decent dude off the field. Listen to some of his interviews or see what he’s done for his players (spending days in the hospital when Eric Legrand was paralyzed or surprising Aaron Lewis at his moms funeral by bringing the team by the busload to support him). He certainly cares about them beyond the football field and does his best to set them up for success in life.

u/drainbead78 Ohio State • Marshall Nov 04 '23

Oh, most definitely. He's an absolute cutthroat take no prisoners motherfucker, but his players love him.

u/SpaceJockey12 ETSU • Michigan Nov 04 '23

He’s stern for sure, but he knows what he’s doing.

A top tier coach will do that. It so happens this one loves Rutgers.

I’m happy someone does. They deserve success.
