LA Times Article Sums it Up: All the Bruins Can Do is Ask 'What If?'

All the Bruins Can Do is Ask 'What If?'

What if the final score were 44-6, Utah, and after the game, on the field, Utes running back Darrell Mack said of the Bruins:

"That last touchdown drive they came out on the field and they were whining and crying. And we just kept driving the ball down the field. They lost their composure. They had to be thinking they were going to win the game going in. That's the wrong thing to think about us. . . . That's an overrated team."

Shoot, it all came to pass, run and tackle, sure as UCLA Coach Karl Dorrell walked off the field escorted by two police officers into the early sunset of a soured season.

It will be remembered by Bruins fans as the Wipeout at Wasatch.

Rice-Eccles Stadium can now boast of hosting the opening ceremony for the 2002 Winter Olympics and 2007 closing ceremony for UCLA.

The Bruins can recover from this to win games, maybe even the conference, but it can't really recover from this -- at least not this year.

"like playing against air"

I posted this in the LA Times blog, but I will repeat it here. When I read the comments from Utah I am reminded of one of the U of A backs after the blowout in '05 who said that playing against our defense was "like playing against air". Comments like this just burn me up, especially when I think of the history of the program under Toledo. We weren't particularly tough then, but an opponent knew that Toledo would try anything to win. With KD we take a knee, settle for too many field goals, run a WCO which relies on non-threatening short passes and generally play the game clean but without passion and toughness.

Get tough Bruins. If you don't know what toughness is watch what a team that is hungry plays like...
