TD Position is not alone by itself in a VACUUM.  I think the OL has some 'splaining to do as it could not give either time in the pocket when needed on 2nd and Long and 3rd and Long.  Our RB's issues in blocking competently the Pass Rush (and perhaps why we saw less of some of them) continue.   Watched the game on TV but I did see open receivers when the ball was slotted into Double Coverage by TD.  Schrader is rusty however, he has a stronger arm.  Its hard to throw against 8 man secondary from what I saw.

Breakdown of OL forced both QB's to scramble and our WR could not improvise to get open.  We are going to see that more often from teams.  Need more yards on 1st down to help moving the ball.  Play calling reminded me of Dick McPhersons first couple of years, however we at least gained 2-3 yards on those plays instead of getting stuffed in the backfield of the line of scrimmage.

Overall, Defense was good. Rutgers did not get major drives on us.   Turnovers killed us.  Taj non-fumble fumble call was unreal.   Missed FP at the half was terrible from a Garza Winner.  Minimum 6 points given away at the half.
