We went in there last year without Simmons and McLaughlin. If Smith and Tate are out Ryan is going to take us on another ‘Excellent Adventure’. Hopefully O Line TE and backs are up to the task. I think they will be. Lincoln will play too.
I might prefer that plan of attack if the back up WRs couldn't even get open against an awful Rutgers defense. They'd have no shot against SCUM's secondary. TEs would need to have the game of their lives and CATCH THE GODDAMN BALL.

I really, truly expect the offense to flounder in this game. Especially if both receivers sit. But the defense, which has kind of been the rock all year, I think will be what can win us the game.
If all 5 OL are out we’ll be bad too.

Of course the offense will flounder if the best two WRs sit this game out lol. With that said they are not going to sit out.

Smith played last week with his issue (seemed like a back thing to me) and then Tate was stated as having been able to go had they needed him vs Purdue. The issue for both is why play them vs what we’ve played and risk it?

We’ll find out but I expect them both to play. The real issue will be will they be rusty?

This games keys are like every other big game. No turnovers and stop the run. What’s interesting about this game is that normally the team that does something unique also wins. Who’s going to connect on a double pass? A WR as a TE? A 6th offensive lineman? Random running QB, a pop pass on 4th and inches? We can’t let them connect on these things.

Set your expectations now though everyone. If this is a dog fight in the 4th quarter there’s good chances we aren’t winning this game. That’s what they want. However, if we are aggressive early and we go up 14-0 or even 17-3 it’s going to be very tough for TCUN. Force them to score touchdowns because if it’s 21-20 late in the 4th they’ve been in that situation a lot and they aren’t missing the FG. Don’t let they fucks breath and force them into things they don’t want to do which is throwing the football. That said, they’re going to throw more than they have the past few years so that in itself could be beneficial for us because that’s not how they’ve won the last few years.
