The only thing bad about the running game today was Ant's handle on the ball.  Otherwise, I've seen much worse from us.

The thing that really bothers me is that we didn't even try a QB sneak.  4th and inches and you can't draw up a sneak play?  I'm with Bees on that one.  Go for the damn 1st down.  IMHO we lost that game on the 1st and goal call that resulted in the INT.  That was our best chance to ice the game and we over thought play.  Our offense looked timid from the word "go" today.  That is coaching.  I think our staff put a tremendous amount of pressure on the kids this week to win this game, and it showed in Nassib's play.  The Defense showed up and played beyond what many of us probably expected.  The offense just plain stunk up the field.

One thing I have to say, simply because it was so blatantly obvious, is how can the refs miss so many pass interference plays?  The Rutgers D was jumping our short slants every time.  The one guy who was called for interference in the OT session had at least two other plays in regulation where his hands were on our guy before the ball got there.  He was all over Chew.

We went from a potential SC highlight reel game with Davis's hit, to probably the most embarrassing game of the day.  9 combined TO's, missed FG's, blocked kicks.  UGLY UGLY LOSS.

And did Shady start crying during the OT celebration before the review?  It sure looked like it.  I think we can say that he didn't want to lose to Marrone again and was more relieved and surprised that they won.
