Clay Thevenin

I thought the good was Dylan Lonergan, aside from that one interception – Dylan Lonergan had a pretty good game, and he deserves credit for that.

Clay Thevenin.

You know what? Yes.

Clay Thevenin.

A hundred percent.

I want to shout out Desir Carter.

And that is admirable.

Let me ask you something.

Um, the game that we kept close in the Big Ten so far this year, um, was because of our offense in general.

Dylan Lonergan had a great game, but two mistakes cost us, and Antoine Raymond and Clay Thevenin had very impressive performances too.

So you're not wrong.

What we need to do is establish the run early.

The Chiefs' game plan was very clearly stop Saquon at all costs.

They did it, but every single other aspect of their offense was unlocked.

So that's the o- that's the other route we can go is if Antoine Raymond gets shut down or Clay Thevenin, we need to find ways around it.

We need to rely on checkdowns.

So he had a good week three, good week four, obviously.

Him and Clay Thevenin tore up Howard.

And Clay Thevenin these past couple weeks has been as impressive, if not a little more impressive than Antoine Raymond.

Even though w- Raymond has the yards numbers, Thevenin's been scoring, and he has the yards per carry.

Whether that's just because he's the shifty, uh, third down type of running back, you know, the hybrid, and Antoine Raymond is the all-purpose including power back, you know, who knows about that? But running backs, I would say, you know, we expected really big things from Antoine Raymond coming into the year.

Boston College, we looked a little more formidable.

And then all of a sudden, we see the run game that we know Antoine Raymond, that Clay Thevenin can bring.

And, you know, Dylan Lonergan had all the time in the pocket.

We didn't look formidable against Boston College.

One thing that I'm noticing is that Rutgers' offense is evolving in a way that's going to give a lot of defenses a lot of problems.

I mean, you've got Antoine Raymond, and you've got Clay Thevenin, who is emerging as a very fast and elusive back.

Now, you've, of course, got KJ Duff, but you've also got Jordan Houston, who is emerging as a serious, legitimate threat at wide receiver, and Ben Black.

So you have – more depth and you have many different ways that Rutgers can attack you on the ground and through the air.

But Adam, you mentioned, KJ Duff's been balling out.

Antoine Rain's been balling out.

We saw what Clay Thevenin's been able to do.

But we got to shine a little bit of light on the offensive line.

Some of these young guys, they have a chance, but would I make them a priority? You're going to need guys to fill out the roster, but I don't know.

I would keep Clay Thevenin for another year.

I think he's tremendous talent.

I would keep Kaj Sanders.

After the pick six, Rutgers answered, with a touchdown drive in three plays.

Raymond broke a 49-yard run and Clay Thevenin from 17 yards out.

This offense didn't quit, it kept creating opportunities.

and that makes the defensive side on Saturday even harder to ignore.
