I haven’t seen Ray Rice do anything spectacular. He’s strong, but he is getting nice holes. Anyone that gets the ball as many times as him will break some plays by default. He’s not juking line backers and not overpowering defensive backs. I’m not impressed this far through the game. Credit goes to the O-Line. I don’t think I’ve even seen Teel get pressured, much less sacked. With as much TV time as they are giving his mother, and those three giant rings she has on her necklace, she should be careful on the walk back to the car.

Big hits by WVU defensive backs and Rutgers’ poorly timed penalties are killing them. A missed field goal kills the momentum gained on an otherwise great drive (13 plays, 56 yards, 6:02 minutes).

Rutgers’ defense is really keyed on Slaton. Since that first touchdown run, he has had trouble getting loose. Just as a I typed that, Slaton goes on a slip screen for a long run (56 yards). Devine in but doesn’t get the ball. Three plays in a row and he isn’t getting the ball… a decoy for white to take the ball to the 5 yard line. White throws great block. Schmitt embarrasses a Rutgers’ line backer.. next play Slaton walks it in, untouched. WVU 24 - Rutgers 3.

The question now is whether or not Rutgers can score quickly. With Underwood dropping two-thirds of the balls that go to him, I’m not sure Rutgers’ is a big play threat. Teel is dropping balls on the wide outs, even with a bad hand, but they are dropping EVERYTHING.

McCourty just got YouTubed by Owen Schmidt. End of the third quarter. WVU 24 - Rutgers 3.

Down by 21, Rutgers runs again and the crowd starts booing. Next play complete pass but a big hit by Lewis who takes a knee to the head and has to get helped off. Two catches in a row and Rutgers goes to the hurry up. Three in a row. Four, five, six, seven … before one is dropped. Another possibility to pick one off. Six dropped passes today for Rutgers. Finally Allen picks off a pass with 11:16 left in the game.

Another bad snap…I called that one.

Slaton walks in again… good game. WVU 31 - Rutgers 3.

One more drop for Rutgers in the end zone. Pick by Munday. Why are White and Slaton in the game at this point? Twenty-eight point lead, six minutes left not much let down with Brown and Devine …? Finally Brown and Devine are in. Insult to injury, Scooter Berry causes and recovers a fumble. Harrison comes in for one hand off - just enough to get the jersey dirty. WVU 31 - Rutgers 3.
• The commentator just said WVU may have the greatest ground game in the history of college football. That’s a big statement.
• WVU soundly pounded on Rutgers, but had the wide receivers caught half the passes they dropped, or just have the ones they dropped in the end zone, this would have been a game.
• 13 game winning streak for WVU vs. Rutgers
• Announcers agree WVU top 5, then make the Dingle-Berry joke (love it)
• There’s no way Matt Ryan is more deserving of player of the week than White
