Post Game Thread: We Lost ...

When BO went out, go to two tight ends, put in a fullback, but one WR out wide........and run the ball every single play against the worst defense in NCAA football.

It should have been simple.....tell the offense, your job is not to win the game, its to not lose it

It should have been simple---play a field position game, knowing ND couldn't get a drive going over 30 yards

But even simple is over KD's head

What an embarrassment!  Yeah, I already hear the apologists saying "Well, we're still #1 in the Pac-10."  What a load of crap.  Like I want to watch this team underperform each week.  Our QB's have had no time to throw all year and have been pressured and sacked constantly.  Who's fault?  Coaching.  3rd string QB is a walk-on.  This due to the fact that we haven't recruited decent QB's since Matt Moore and Drew Olsen.  Who's fault?  Coaching.  The other QB we did recruit was converted into a WR.  But why hasn't he developed into AT LEAST a back-up QB?  Coaching.  Six points in the first half and ZERO in the 2nd.  Who's fault?  COACHING!!  

Guerrero, the writing is on the wall and is clear as day.  We need a new head coach.  One that can develop players to exceed their potentials.  One that can make quick, in-game adjustments.  One that can actually dominate against an inferior team.  One that has an offensive scheme that makes sense.

Enough with the KD experiment.  I am just so freakin tired of this coach!!

Now what? We have all of these commits on verbals? What now? we have the #5 rated QB in the country on verbal. What now? Krissman won't want to be a part of this. The only way we hang onto out recruits is to dump this clown and get someone that can get it done. Karl Dorrell's only ally right now is Stanford--- they will deflect some of this. What a timely distraction for this joker.

What the FUCK... How does a school like UCLA actually have a "walk on freshman redshit" on its roster? we cannot recruit anyone? I'm not baching Bethel-thompson... but please.... And if we only have one guy left (b/c KD doesnt want to use the redshirt on another QB???) why isnt Bethel taking more snaos in practice???

I was at the game tonight.
Great crowd, great atmosphere.
Bruins win easily if SPJ isn't injured.
The kid is a walk-on and played as a walk-on.
KD is going to be tough to remove. ND is still a favorite whipping boy due to the TY Willingham firing.
At least the trOJans went down tonight.
Looking forward to the opinions of Plasche, & Simers tomorrow.
Keep your heads up boyz. It's a silly season & one of the reasons to love the college game.
ND is really pathetic.
Wow!

NINE negative plays because they decided to amket the walk-on QB pass-----5 sacks, 4 interceptions!

Had you simply handed the ball off every play, punted and pinned them deep, we would have won the game 6-3 or 9-3.

The offensive playcalling and the turnovers they led to directly resulted in 17 points for ND...which was the reason we lost.

please dont call out our players.  they leave it out there on the field only to have our coaches poorly scheme poorly plan poorly prepare for games.

BD has been a warrior, you cant pick and choose which players to like and which to hate.

Fire KD on the way to the locker room.

I feel for you guys. I know what embarrassment is.

The play calling STUNK, the o-line sucked, the players talked a lot trash before the game. If you ask me, it all comes back to Dorrell.

... when it was the simple quick hitches and dump-offs.  Thsoe worked fine for the kid, and elt himg et in a bit of a rhythm in the 2nd quarter.

But what was up with the first down, go for 20-yard passes in the second half???

I do NOT get this.  

BO is our "best" QB, and you have to pull teeth for Dorrell and Norvell to call down-the-field plays.

BT is our 4th most-experienced QB in this 'system,' and instead of calling easy, 5-12-yard pass plays, we have him start drives trying to swing haymakers.

Isn't that like calling a rookie out of the minors, sending him up against Curt Schilling, and telling him he needs to hit to the fences at every at-bat?

Did the coaching staff choose to coddle BO the past few weeks at the expense of getting BT needed practice time?  

Cowan was hurt early in the season.  BO was already hurt at Utah.  

How could a MB-T contingency plan not already be in place, maybe highlighted in red or something on CTS' handy-dandy crotch-card?  And if this was it, WTF were they thinking???

This game actually made me glad my home computer is crashing like a Ferrari with a drunk driver on an icy mountain road (I'm typing from the office this gloomy Sudnay morning).

"What next?" I ask you, Nation.

WHAT NEXT???

M

I happened to be in CA for a vacation and my friend offered me free tickets to this game. It's the first one I have been to in many years.

And WOW. You know, I started watching UCLA CFB the year Toledo got fired. But even in those dark years, his teams were not this bad. A Toledo-coached team would've wiped the floor with a crappy squad like ND 2007.

The Bruins were unfocused, lazy, soft, and undisciplined. "Southpaw Jesus" is more like Southpaw Ron Hubbard. He is slow to throw, slow to make decisions, telegraphs like crazy, and crumbles under pressure. This might be the most dissapointing part of an extremely extremely dissapointing season. The offense is just terrible, just terrible, across the board.

The defense stepped up overall (notwithstanding getting pushed around the line, Clausen could've taken a nap back there), not that its hard to with that ND squad, but you can only do so much when your offense keeps giving it up and letting them get to the 1 (happened twice from what I remember, good for 10 ND points).

This team is bad, folks. Bad bad bad bad bad. I don't see how anyone could go to a UCLA football game and think its on the right track. Hell I don't see how anyone could go to a UCLA game at all with the garbage KD and friends are putting out there on the field.

Wait till we play Oregon, Cal, and yes USC. I am predicting some re-runs of 55-10 type scores. It was that bad. Throw in Arizona State and we are looking at another 6 win season.
