Rutgers Vs. South Florida: Live Blogging

From timmydu.wordpress.com

I'm jacked up on steroids (and antibiotics), but strangely do not any more equipped to hit a home run.  Taking the opportunity, I sat down to watch the Rutgers Scarlet Knights play the University of South Florida Bullfrogs.  I kept the notepad open:

- Rutgers has been opportunistic so far, which is very characteristic of our team.  In the past few years, we've always seemed to have come up with big plays (I'm speaking of the muffed punt, even though we didn't punch it through), especially on national TV.

- Our defense looks to be significantly faster than earlier in the year.  It might just be the experience in their legs, but our blitzes have gotten B.J. Daniels.

- Savage just threw only his second interception of the year (imagine a punt, but off the hand of your future QB).  Watching the replay was particularly hilarious, with Tim Brown looking like the undersized corner defending the gift of a pick (as my Aunt said perfectly "how cute, so small").

- On a side note, I can't believe the Hornets fired Byron Scott.  In fact, I couldn't believe when the Nets fired him.  He's a good coach at the prime of his coaching career...give me Byron over Frank any day.  Lawrence Frank is like the Wade Phillips of the NBA.  They always wear a stupid face and look confused about any of the team's wrongdoings, frowning with their hands on their hips.

All of us still have jobs as head coaches!

(Wade is allergic to the color yellow)

- Another huge play with 6 minutes to go in the half from Savage to Sanu.  The future looks exciting for Rutgers fans -- it sure looks bright from here.

- Another special teams turnover -- this is why I don't watch too much college football.  The Rutgers special teams unit has been dominant, and deserves some credit.  I love how Schiano plays starters on special teams.  We all loved seeing Underwood gunning down other Big East returners.

- Up 13-0 at half-time.  It's a hell of an understatement for me to say "I'll take it!"  It's like saying Barry Bonds's head is bigger than normal The proper reaction to that monstrosity is, "how much wax does he use to cover that much bald area??"

- TIMMAY!!

- Gotta love Joey, picking up right where Ray Rice left off.  Liking our skill positions.
