We can land a man on the moon, but somehow the StarLedger can't buy a 3rd microphone...

I would venture to say neither are possible...lol

Wow! I’m beyond surprised but because it’s RU I’m not shocked. This projected 9-3 season has gone away. Unfortunately, bowl game in a baseball stadium OTW😢!

Injuries can't be the excuse. Injuries happen all the time. It was one thing to lose to Wisconsin but it's another to get blown out in your house. I just don't like how I feel the team has regressed from the Nebraska loss.

[@andreray2784]

The defense is still decent, but they were demoralized after seeing how poorly the offense was performing. If you ever played football, you would understand what I am saying. Its not an excuse though.

Looks like you guys are passing a joint 🚬

Offense is very frustrating. Same 3 formations every series and 0 creativity. It looked like Wisconsin had one of our headsets on. Defense made good adjustments in Q2, but injuries and UWs time of possession did them in. Need to flush this game and win next week. Never know about USC. We will be a prohibitive underdog and maybe that will lead to them putting up a stinker.

I see why our OC was fired the last time or do we need to bring back pine tar for our receiving team the defense team had too many injuries

[@usmanchaudhry6678]

Injuries. Injuries. Injuries . Lost season..O line is destoryed...QB can't stay up and running backs can't do anything without a line

[@keithgupton9349]

The problem as I see it is. Greg Shciano refuses to run a 21st century offense. It's Kyle Monangai right, left, third and 7 ... incomplete pass. Wash rinse repeat.

Sam Brown's gotta be done for the season

[@moneymitch6790]

Career I'd say
