Being totally outclassed or being at least as good as the other team and just giving the game away through turnovers and special teams?
If you think we are just as good as Rutgers you're not being realistic - not even close.
Anybody who was there yesterday saw that Rutgers has many more big, strong and fast athletes than we do.
One good example is the wideout - No. 17 - Colemen.
He's 6' 6" and 220 plus pounds - and he can run. They have other WRs who nearly as big. They have a TE who is 6' 6" and weighs 250 pounds and can run.
We don't have guys like that yet.
We are getting closer. But we are not as talented as Rutgers. Any presumption to the contrary is simply not accurate.
And that kind of thinking prompts unrealistic expectations and eventual calls for Bobby Petrino as the new HC at Syracuse University.
And it's wrong.

Are you ever right about anything? The talent gap is really, really narrow between these two teams at this point. Have no clue what games you watch. None at all.
He confuses athletes for FB players. They are not one in the same. The RU WRs are good athletes but they suck as WRs.
Back to you other comment the problem is we are at the stage of you win some you lose some. The problem is we are not winning some. Because of that we HAVE to win the next two games to make up for it. If we do not, Marrone is toast. No way he sticks around if we are 3-9 or worse.

Curious. How did we beat the 'Girls when Marrone first arrived? How did we get to 8 wins in year two...and why have we lost 9 of our last 11?
There are macro reasons the program faces (facilities, money) and then more on the field ones related to the players and coaching. Just astounds me that we can show early progress each year, then regress as the season goes on...EACH year.
Were you there yesterday?
I can tell you that this year's Rutgers team is better than last year's team and way better than the 2010 team.
NO. I was not there yesterday.
This team is bigger, faster, stronger and better at QB than those teams.
Congrats to them.
The Rutgers QB is not flashy, but he doesn't make mistakes and can run a bit when need be. He was also under very little pressure yesterday - as opposed to the pressure that Doug Hogue and Derrell Smith and Chandler Jones applied two years ago.
So we had more success under Marrone when he had GRob's players.
So I don't find anything "curious" about what happened yesterday.
I do. Marrone was hired to close the gap, change culture, produce wins. Instead, as you insinuate, the gap might not be closing. And if they are continuing to stockpile more talent while we seek to get nicer facilities, etc., then it would be nice to perhaps have our teams show some discipline and not hand over games where we outgain and/or outperform the other teams superior athletes.
