Injuries happen. The general ineptitude of the offense is on Langsdorf and after three years, he no longer has room for excuses.

No doubt, scrutiny of Langsdorf and Cav is appropriate. I'm just putting out some information that helps contextualize our current struggles. There are many factors for it, not the least of which is underperformance by the starting quarterback. Injuries are a factor, and 9 of the top 20 players missing any game is a big factor. As is questionable coaching. Thanks.

Playing tight and unsure can lead to injuries. Playing tight and unsure can be because coaches aren't doing their job. Not saying thats the case but we can't rule it out either.

If we're ranking problems with O, I'm starting with cav, and then likely next the players not executing, which certainly has something to do with langs. Execution is poor.

Those numbers are probably pretty typical for 1 game a year and some of them weren't very good to begin with. If those same numbers were injured against a team like Ohio State, I could buy that as an excuse for a loss. But it's Rutgers and injuries aren't an excuse to play like shit against a bad team.

What about the defense.. i would argue that the injuries on that side of the ball have been just as alarming...?

Not accepting excuses. Every team deals with injuries.

Another year, another bunch of players out with hamstring injuries........and Knevel a bum ankle. Lol. Some things never change
