PB Unleashed: California Open Thread
UCLA Bruins at California Golden Bears, Oct 25, 2008 12:30 PM PDT
So here we go.
Time to get this road show started. If the Bruins were to have a chance this afternoon, this guy will need a good start:

The kickoff time is scheduled for 12:30 pm PST on ABC (regional coverage). As always you can click on the links below under "Related Item" for updated game stats and track the game via UCLA's official site and WWL's game page.
Anticipating that this thread might fill up, we will have a second game thread go up around 2:30 pm PST (which should be around half time).
With that said time to get started with another game thread filled with our passion buckets. Let’s hope the boys in Bruin Blue can put it all together.
Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

Life in Exile Sucks
Although I have ESPN Game Plan, looks like they are gong to force me to watch the last 6 min of UConn Cincy before going to the Bruin game.
Will someone do a play by play for a while? Or post the ’net site showing the game?
Thanks.

Thanks!
I’m in NorCal, so the game is blacked out on ESPN360 here, but they’re showing the Texas/Oklahoma State game.
I understand wanting to show the game they’re showing, but I wish they’d figured out a way to stop the blockout if they were going to do that.
You saved my football for the day!
Thanks
I saw it all, unfortunately.

D forces field goal attempt -- good job!
Moore had a great coverage deflection to stop a td pass
sjh
FG good
I won’t be doing updates during the whole game — I’ll be in and out.
Good hold by the defense considering field position.
Cal kicker
is some Italian soccer player
Wonder if he collapses and rolls around in apparent agony when he misses a kick? Hope to get to see that today.
greg in denver
we better not get close to him
he’s probably a big time flopper. could draw a penalty
by bucknellbruin on Oct 25, 2008 12:48 PM PDT up reply actions
Bosworth made one
Cal running up the middle easily at first. Then we tightened up.
Noticeable: We are tackling the man not the ball. Lockett made some good tackles.

The first one was Price
He was in the backfield immediately.
by SuperBruinMan on Oct 25, 2008 12:53 PM PDT up reply actions
Brett Lockett and K-Craft
are putting us in a hole already.
Price had one
i think there was one more but i forgot who
Sack of Craft
after announcers talk about weaknesses in our O line. But, KC held the ball a bit long.
sjh
short field for CAL
Our offense is giving Cal too many short field opportunities and putting too much pressure on our defense.
Our bear
in the Plaza outside Ackerman looks way better than theirs. Theirs looks like he just stepped on a thorn.
greg in denver
He finally had a good game last week
but the momentum doesn’t seem to be carrying over for him. He needs to step it up if we want to have a chance of stopping the Bears.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Oct 25, 2008 12:56 PM PDT up reply actions
While our tackling and fits have been sub-par
The thing killing our defense has been a lack of a pass rush. We need to hit Riley if we want to have a shot today.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Oct 25, 2008 12:58 PM PDT reply actions
roll out pass
well defended. tackled at line of scrimmage and fumbles, they recover after losing several yarda.
greg in denver
is anybody else frustrated with the camera work?
a couple plays where they camera has been on the qb and not showing what we should be seeing
Just happy to get the stream here
so I’m in no place to complain, but I see what you mean.
greg in denver
Geez I just
notice the scoreboard. 3-0, seems that we should be getting killed
doesn't tell the whole story
but thank goodness it’s still this close
ATV has great recovery speed
He was beat by a couple steps, but that separation closed quickly and he made a nice play on the ball.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Oct 25, 2008 1:01 PM PDT reply actions
They punt to about their 17
Odd series, we didn’t look great but stopped them. I’ll take that anytime
sjh
Really good effort by the D
Got stuck with a short field, and after the PI on Lockett, did a great job forcing the punt.
Ok, O, your turn…
greg in denver
hey guys i'd love it if u kept the commentary going
my internet is absurdly slow right now and the stream isn’t working
Agree about the production
Camerawork has been poor, especially the play where they stayed on the QB
yeah, which is surprising
ESPN/ABC is usually pretty good
K-Craft
He needs to rollout and make short safe passes underneath to moya.
Okay O
Let’s get a completion… postitive yardage at the least
On 3rd down Riley can all day to pass again
Cal has held a tight end in most of the time, doubled both Price and Harwell. That means our ends are being blocked without any help and one of them is up against a tight end. There’s no excuse for our ends not to get to the QB if that’s going to be Cal’s protection.

Micah Reed is down
It looks like a knee, but he doesn’t look bad coming off
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Oct 25, 2008 1:06 PM PDT reply actions
TA with a drop
the ball was a bit behind him but that catch has to be made. That’s two drops on the game. Both Craft and the receivers need to tighten it up.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Oct 25, 2008 1:07 PM PDT reply actions
that bass drummer jumping up and down in the middle
is my girlfriend’s brother
Keep it coming guys
You guys are at least 3 plays ahead of ESPN. I’ve got to get off my laptop soon (and head towards tailgating for OSU/PSU game).
Please keep it coming so we can follow on the cell!
Thanks!!!
Norrie
He has always seemed “extra-negative” when he has done our games.
Is he trying too hard to be impartial, or does he still miss CNP? (Coach Neu’s predecessor?)
greg in denver
KB didn't get hit in the backfield
he made to the to LOS this time.

Bell up middle for a couple
Clear Bell is in line up for blocking on pass plays. Follow him, he’s good!
sjh
Cal defensive guy down
coming off hte field now
The third drop of the game
Embree this time.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Oct 25, 2008 1:12 PM PDT reply actions
C Force
Forcier hit his man and looked good. I think he should have taken the next snap and let him get a little rhythm going
Perez punts, fair catch at the 11
we are only down 3.
Let’s stay close — we can’t get worse on o
sjh
Pretty good protection there
the DL who knocked it down was the only Cal player in front of KC. He needs to be able to throw around one guy.
greg in denver
Penalty on the punt
but the production continues to be terrible and they don’t tell us who it was on or what it was for.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Oct 25, 2008 1:14 PM PDT reply actions
SACKED
this is what we need to do to rattle the young QB
Brian Price again!!!
What a play by Price
blows up the play and brings down the RB for a loss of 3.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Oct 25, 2008 1:16 PM PDT reply actions
so...
we are very much in this game thanks to our D
Our Offense needs to step up and make some plays
the defense is playing great
but the offense has got to do something…
we are getting good field position…

Quarter Over!!! Will someone else do play by play for a quarter?
Greg it seems like you’re doing it anyway.
I’ve got to free hands to do mojo things so we can score.
sjh
End of quarter
For havign zero offense, pretty good place so far. Big credit to the defense in the first Q
greg in denver
Price taking care of business here
D doing its job well so far. Hope the O can do something to make it worthwile.
Cal has Alex Mack at center
who’s an absolute beast, but both of their guards are mediocre at best. Mack has to pick Price or Brigham on each play so one of them should be able to get into the back field pretty consistently.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Oct 25, 2008 1:18 PM PDT reply actions
Give C-Force a Chance
The only way to change this game around is to let C-Force run and scramble all over the field.
agreed
Craft sitting in the pocket is not going to work

by silverlakebruin on Oct 25, 2008 1:19 PM PDT up reply actions
I disagree
I saw C Force in practice and I have no confidence in his ability to throw the ball. IMO he’s an interception waiting to happen.

Lockett and Hale
Completely taken out of the play on the touchdown. Can’t we get some guys in who can play run defense?
forcier run time?
it’s tough to give up on Craft but i don’t have faith in our Offense coming back – unless we run a permanent two minute drill. Let Forcier run
TA out of the backfield
for what looks like our biggest game of the game… of 3? 4?
impressive first down from 1st and 23

KC
what is it about being on the run or somewhat under pressure that makes KC so much better? Is it a mental thing?
My guess
is he only has to read half the field and there aren’t any issues with throwing lanes.

seriously
What’s the point of staying with KC at this point – he’s clearly not the future of UCLA – might as well got Forcier some reps – really what is there to lose?
The oregon St, washington and arizona state games
by SuperBruinMan on Oct 25, 2008 1:41 PM PDT up reply actions
you're right
KC will get us those victories for sure..
This is a philosophical issue – one that has been discussed numerous times on this board and elsewhere – but for this season, i stay play for the future. Coleman, Forcier, etc…
I disagree
we are still in this season, we should play for this season
Pic 6
I’m too sick. Let C-Force play. I’ll take The Fresh Prince if he is available!!
let the young guys play
Bell is too injured, Craft is just not getting the offense, its time to play the new guys.

If you're going to pull Craft then you have to believe Forcier is better
You can’t just make a change for the sake of change. Remember lest year when everyone was clamoring for Osaar, then when he got in a game people realized why he was so far down on the depth chart.
Personally, I’d like to see us stick with Craft. I’ve seen Forcier and it wasn’t pretty.

You're right.
I trust CRNand NC. They know what they’re doing.

I really do – his hear is what keeps him (and me) going… But is it a sure thing at this point that he would provide much better results than the backups? It’s a tough question and clearly something that the coaches don’t believe – Forcier must really not be ready
The Question was:
What was UCLA ranked in the first BCS poll
to which I responded, UCLA was ranked first in the first BCS poll
Looks like a bad spot to me
I thought he had the first, but the spot is about a foot and a half short.

It was the 3rd down play that killed us
If it was called to the outside, Harkey missed the block.
If it was to go up the middle, Bell should have tried the middle
sjh
is there a more overrated coach then Tedford?
Cal looks horrible. They take a step back every year.

Man...
anemic offense for a quarter and a half, 3 picks, one near the goal line, and that last drive ending in a FG (bad play call or bad execution on that 3rd down? Either way, you gotta put in Price and cram it up the middle and get 4 more plays!!). To be down by 7 is pretty amazing. cal is winning, but they aren’t very good.
greg in denver
We will never
put Prince in this year. He is red shirting. It would be extremely foolish to waste the red shirt this far into the season, especially when we aren’t necessarily playing for a championship and he is third string behind Forcier anyway.
TT Looking Awesome
63-21 over a pretty decent Kansas team right there in Lawrence no less.

Game plan
If we can just keep away from the turnovers and continue to turn time of possession to our favor we have a shot. Our offense was beginning to groove, and our D does just fine when rested. We are a second half team so far this year, and we have a chance despite trying desperately to give the game away.
No Big 2nd Half from Best
we have got to stop him and Shane Vereen
force riley to make bad throws

Im optimistic, here's why
1) It looks like the bad Craft has been exorcised and think he will play well in the 2nd quarter
2) The defense was off the field for much of the second quarter
3) We are only down by 7
4) Tedford is a terrible game day coach
5) NeuChowWalk will make much better adjustment than their staff
6) We are used to being down at the half and coming back and winning.
If we stop them on the first possession, this game is on!

The one complaint I have
We need to stop using Bell so much. Coleman has been better, and Dean should get some carries too.
they're not playing Dean
until he is 100% healthy. if he is still hobbled they’re hoping for a med. redshirt

But in an obvious running situation we need to have the better runner in there

online video
anyone know what’s up with the bruinville video feed?
How many people are watching it?
The Oregon game was slow because there were 100+ people watching

it just says "not broadcasting"
don’t know if that’s just me or what
Horrible Offensive series
We are imploding big time.
What a completely stupid 15 yard penalty on us
No excuse for that personal foul.
We are looking very bad now.
sjh
Dang
almost got one of my pregame predictions from Moore there
