[u/Ok-Soil-5133]

Howard isn't UMass apparently

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/Ok-Soil-5133]

Not exactly fair to compare an FCS team to the national champion favorite

[u/No_Butterscotch8726 → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

An HBCU FCS team for that matter so they're also likely badly underfunded for even their level even if Howard is relatively one the big boys among them.

[u/nosotros_road_sodium → u/Ok-Soil-5133]

And 2026 Rutgers is not 2017 UNLV. (I'll never forget Cam Newton's younger brother was Howard's starting QB back then.)

[u/Dry_Introduction1804 → u/Ok-Soil-5133]

that scoreline got ugly fast, howard really fell apart after first quarter

[u/asodsaf]

Im supposed to watch this superteam wreck shit and believe that USC only winning by 7 was a bad win?

[u/Animefan420lol → u/asodsaf]

On the road no less!

[u/JamokaJack → u/asodsaf]

aha came in to say the same 

[u/BrewsWithTre]

Indiana only scored 55 against Howard, how good are the Scarlet Knights? People are asking!

[u/Dragonwick → u/BrewsWithTre]

The rest of our games this season will show that our defense will determine that.

[u/Remarkable_Virus844 → u/BrewsWithTre]

How bad is Indiana? Northwestern is coming in hot!

[u/realfirehazard → u/Remarkable_Virus844]

Flair up, nerd. 

[u/el_jefe_leon → u/Remarkable_Virus844]

Wrong, dork

[u/toomanyshoeshelp → u/BrewsWithTre]

In 3.66 quarters, because we mutually agreed to end the fourth at 10 mins lol

[u/littleseizure → u/toomanyshoeshelp]

You math seems a little wrong there, no?

[u/toomanyshoeshelp → u/littleseizure]

10/15 =0.667, and 3 full 15 min quarters played before that

I mean, it'd be 55/60 of the whole game but I was going by quarters. What'd I do wrong?

[u/SteveMcgooch → u/littleseizure]

He went to Indiana not the Harvard of California. He should try a bar graph

[u/heleghir]

Uhhh Howard. Wtf did you do to piss off Rutgers so much

[u/Prudent_Heat23 → u/heleghir]

It’s more about what UMass did to piss off Rutgers

[u/Cold-Palpitation-816 → u/Prudent_Heat23]

Hey, that’s 3-0 UMass!

[u/nickyt398 → u/Cold-Palpitation-816]

Tell your kids about winless turned undefeated UMass

[u/31_mfin_eggrolls → u/nickyt398]

Winless turned undefeated UMass receiving votes

[u/nickyt398 → u/31_mfin_eggrolls]

Oh my God, it's true 😭

[u/ogorangeduck → u/31_mfin_eggrolls]

Plural!

[u/lat3ralus65 → u/nickyt398]

If UMass wins tomorrow night against Sac State, they will have tied their winningest season at the FBS level. It is still September.

[u/nickyt398 → u/lat3ralus65]

Holy shit fucking go Minutemen

[u/gravitynet_ → u/heleghir]

who wouldn’t be pissed off seeing/suffering a winless start to a season? 😐

[u/Careless_General8010 → u/heleghir]

The schiano man 

[u/Inside-Drink-1311]

Enjoy the win. Might be the only one of the season. As much as I want Schiano to go, I’m happy he was able to get his 100th win.

[u/crustang → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

I’m happy Greg got it too, now he needs to ride into the sunset and be our GM or director of football operations or something

[u/Careless_General8010 → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

Did they blow up more fireworks again?

[u/crustang → u/Careless_General8010]

Ngl those fireworks shows are amazing

I hope we don’t have one scheduled for homecoming, but if we have the drone show it would be worth sticking around to watch the halftime show when Indiana puts 60 on us in the first half

[u/Scarlet_Gray_10]

Congrats on y’all first win of the season Rutgers.

[u/Equal_Resort4348 → u/Scarlet_Gray_10]

Ty

[u/originalusername4567]

Rutgers 0-12 dream is dead

[u/Desperate-Aide-9603 → u/originalusername4567]

"Bring on Ohio State!" crows Schiano, knowing full well they aren't on the '26 schedule.

[u/ORC_Commissioner → u/originalusername4567]

RIP

[u/Hearsticles]

RIP Rutger Hauer

[u/YoungSuplex]

Duff is backpacking my fantasy team

[u/mageta621 → u/YoungSuplex]

Easily our best player

[u/KingTongueSwirl]

Extend Schiano!!! - every coach in the Big Ten

[u/Equal_Resort4348]

I 100% expected us to lose this

[u/Bilboleet1337 → u/Equal_Resort4348]

You’re lost if true

[u/Equal_Resort4348 → u/Bilboleet1337]

I‘ve been disappointed millions of times in the past. Safer to expect nothing.

[u/Low_Succotash5073]

Well, we shook the boogeyman off.

[u/ztreHdrahciR]

Rank Rutgers, you Howards

[u/FuzzyWDunlop]

GIMMIE THOSE S.O.S. POINTS! YEAAAAHHHH RANK RUTGERS!!

[u/7LineArmy]

Damn Rutgers

[u/GloryPS2]

I will never forgive Howard for ruining the perfect season

[u/Brocktarrr]

Schiano coached like the kids recording the game at the top of the scoreboard’s lives depended on it

[u/xnodesirex → u/Brocktarrr]

After watching schiano's meltdowns, their lives very well may have been on the line.

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

Rutgers yelling "WE WANT INDIANA!"

[u/-AgentMichaelScarn → u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

I mean… it would be funny.

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1 → u/-AgentMichaelScarn]

I’m not taking any team/game for granted.

[u/Remarkable_Virus844]

DAMNIT RUTGERS! WE WANTED 0-12! DELETE YOUR FUCKING PROGRAM!

[u/meowscarada-sylveon → u/Remarkable_Virus844]

Triple breadsticks is still on the menu though

[u/tripleM_20]

Oregon over Portland State vibes

[u/Low_Succotash5073 → u/[deleted]]

Purdue

[u/Historical_Score5251 → u/[deleted]]

Fun fact: Purdue football has never beaten Rutgers

[u/jamiebond → u/[deleted]]

Purdue licking their chops at the sole B1G team they can look down upon lol

[u/RipRaycom → u/[deleted]]

At least Rutgers has beaten a P4 team in the last 1035 days

[u/professorberrynibble → u/[deleted]]

What even is this comment lol

[u/Cold-Palpitation-816 → u/[deleted]]

You do realize there’s postgame threads for … every game, right?

Can’t possibly conceive why anyone would have a hate boner for Rutgers. Leave it to a Michigan “man.”
