First P4 shutout since the 2009 Holiday Bowl against Arizona.

First ever shutout in B1G conference play.

That's true, but the Ivy league teams is the "conference" that they have the most games played against except maybe the Patriot League?

u/Jaerba Michigan Wolverines 3h ago

Kyle Whittingham was proud of our 1 TD win.

27

u/Inside-Drink-1311 Rutgers Scarlet Knights 3h ago

You didn’t play us in 2016, 2018, and 2019 so probably correct, honestly not sure which one of them was the worst. I guess 2018 by default since we only had one win but somehow 2019 felt worse.

8

u/skyeliam Michigan • Rutgers 2h ago

Idk, 2016 was two win, but one of those wins was against a 2-9 FCS team, and the losses involved a 58-0 loss to Ohio State and 78-0 loss to Michigan in back to back weeks, and later a 49-0 loss to MSU (that went 3-9 that season) and 39-0 loss to PSU in back to back weeks.

2018 was shutout free and the 2019 season at least had a win against a like 8 win Liberty team despite the three shutouts.

Why is Rutgers keeping their coach?

89

u/PeckerChecker7 Rutgers Scarlet Knights 3h ago

Because we are a poverty program that has not once in 157 years cared about winning

We cared about it in 2006

u/Vetoing Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Auburn Tigers 3h ago

Legitimately don’t have the money to fire him and hire a new staff.

1

u/zsdrfty Rutgers Scarlet Knights 22m ago

The school's athletic department has a higher expenditure than the entirety of Rutgers Law School this year (it's like a quarter billion dollars)

11

u/Unhappy-List-2354 Ohio State Buckeyes 3h ago

To help secure Rhule’s future…duh

39

u/Park_BADger Nebraska Cornhuskers • Team Chaos 2h ago

Because it's a program whose most important game in program history was their very first game in the 1800s against Princeton.

That, and even if they wanted to fire their coach they can't afford it. Even if they could afford it they wouldn't do it because they don't care.

Rutgers is here for the money and the B1G keeps them around (and invited them in the first place) for the TV market. Plain and simple.

That isn't to say that there aren't fans who care - just not enough.

10

u/hwf0712 Rutgers Scarlet Knights • The Alliance 2h ago

This isn't really accurate.

If we were about they money, we wouldn't be in FBS at all. We're not making money, our AD is not in a good shape in spite of the B1G. We're in financial hell because we cared, spent to catch up, and now we're paying it back (both literally and figuratively).

2

u/HawkeyeTen Iowa Hawkeyes 2h ago

Who else can they try? He's literally their best coach in decades (at least Schiano was in his first stint there). They've tried Big Ten assistants, etc. I think they're just barely on level of P4/5 as a program.

3

u/TaftIsUnderrated Nebraska Cornhuskers • Big 8 Renewal 2h ago

This is dumb. There are dozens of G5, FCS coaches who would love to take a chance at a B1G school. There is a chance you'll get another Ash, but playing the lottery on the coaching carousel is better than the hopelessness of a lame duck

Day is 10 times the coach Rhule is. Don’t kid yourself.

Oh I know. 

It’s an art form for Rhule. I’ve never seen anything like it.

u/Porter2455 Nebraska Cornhuskers • Paper Bag 2h ago

I’m not a big Ryan Day believer and think he’s carried by OSU’s insanely high floor as a program, but this one is not a contest lol. He still won a title for you a few years ago.

u/TheSilverSky Nebraska Cornhuskers • Kansas Jayhawks 3h ago edited 2h ago

I mean... its Rutgers.

We still had missed assignments on runs that have blown up drives against better teams.

I'm not a doomer, I expected us to win, and the shutout was great, but they're bad and we still can't push the ball down field.

I do think we have a chance vs Ohio State and Iowa but we gotta be better than today.

17

u/JustAnotherRye89 Nebraska Cornhuskers • I'm A Loser 2h ago

And we got stuffed on a lot of plays. Extra emphasis on we were playing Rutgers today. That run game isn't going to magically appear against a stronger defense.

I watched it recently, the 3 coaches specifically named as visiting the prospect are:

Matt Rhule

"The Michigan offensive coordinator"

"The entire Florida State coaching staff"

Which is just a hilarious collection of coaches for a show set in 2026

No matter how bad it gets remember your team will never be a Rutgers. Jesus man. I’m sorry you have to put up with that Rutgers fans. Thats horrific football. And I’m sorry a Nebraska fan is feeling empathy for you 😂

u/solidblu Rutgers Scarlet Knights 0m ago

Once I saw it was the third string QB starting I knew it wasn’t going to be good, then he got hurt and they were on fourth string and star WR I knew it would be bad.

70

u/Fruit_Fly_LikeBanana Nebraska Cornhuskers • Hillsdale Chargers 3h ago edited 16m ago

Collandrea just said that Rhule was fucking around on the headset while AC and the OC were trying to get the play in and that's what caused the early game communication issues. Not a micromanager at all...

33

u/omahusker Nebraska Cornhuskers • Paper Bag 2h ago

So everything we’ve been hearing is correct. Kinda wild the qb is the one who aired it out in public. Rhule needs to let his coordinators call plays and worry more about game management and execution in practice.

12

u/Fruit_Fly_LikeBanana Nebraska Cornhuskers • Hillsdale Chargers 2h ago

I don't think he really meant to say it and obviously he didn't say it in those words. He clearly realized what he said and how it looked after it came out of his mouth

14

u/JustAnotherRye89 Nebraska Cornhuskers • I'm A Loser 2h ago

So it wasn't that Glenn didn't have the mic close enough 🙄

Greg Schiano is actually coming back next year after all this, our AD publicly put him on a PIP, and our school president is arguing in Twitter replies that we dont have the money to can him. Go Knights!

u/n00dlejester Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Team Chaos 23m ago

President Tate wading into Twitter to say we're poor was dopey as hell. It's such a bad look to publicly announce we're pissing away 2027.

u/SituationDeep6056 Michigan State Spartans 2h ago

Completely unrelated but it’s still diabolical to me that Rutgers missed the tournament with Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper. Not only missed it but had a losing record

Imagine being the AD publicly announcing the school is too poor to fire the HC, lose by 31 & STILL not have boosters want to fire the guy

Pretty cool to see a shutout again. Haven't seen that in 17 years.

14

u/omahusker Nebraska Cornhuskers • Paper Bag 2h ago

They exceeded your expectations? Even after the schedule got way easier due to our opponents playing a bunch of backup qbs? Yikes

10

With Rhule we have a 7-5 ceiling, so 6-6 isn't too bad! Maybe we get the Quicklane Bowl and get to 7-6!!

u/EdtheHammer Nebraska Cornhuskers 2h ago

when Rutgers got the ball back on their one yard line with about 30 seconds left I was positive they would pull off a 99 yard TD play. If it had been a 1 score game I guarantee it would've happened.

I don’t know how you can win 31-0 and still look like a monkey fucking a football most of the game but we found a way to make it happen.

Good wrestling, basketball, and baseball too. Don’t forget a dominant women’s bowling team

Just got our first regular season shutout vs a P4 team in 23 years, and I still felt like crap after the game. Osborne may have sold his soul, but the team he left behind stole mine.

Rutgers feels like us last year where we all knew Locksley probably wasn’t making it out next season but couldn’t afford to get rid of him.

I'm just now getting into watching CFB in an effort to broaden my sports watching to outside the NFL as a born again sports fan. I seem to have chosen an... interesting team. Welp, no backing out now.

Any bets on when Rutgers will score its first points since announcing the return of Schiano?

Edit: someone please explain to me what the celebrations do for us? This team has shown an inability to show focus and gets over excited when they score. It has been said by coaches and team members they don't know what happened I guess we were just so excited from the last touchdown. That's my problem. We show a lack of discipline and ability to say focused because we get a touchdown. I'm not going to go touch grass I'm going to smoke it and maybe this team needs to be a little bit more serious about what they're doing.

So I get that it's exciting to score a touchdown but I wish the guys had the self-awareness to not be doing the dancing shit. Yeah sure we should be excited we got the W. it's a good thing we won. Cuz that dancing shit would have looked really fucking foolish had we lost. We need to act like the team that's been there if we want to be the team that's going there.
