... but so far it's a good night for his alma mater and current team.
Bruins are up by a score of 17-7 powered by the rushing of Derrick Coleman.
Kevin Craft and Derrick Coleman got our offense to a great start but then they stumbled around bit. At this point since we have a semblance of running attack going (94 yards in 24 carries), KC needs to focus on managing the game.
Meanwhile, we need our defense to tighten it up a little and FINISH STRONG.
Let's get it going in our second half thread.
GO BRUINS.

Good evening everyone
Glad to be joining what looks to be quite the party. I’ve been checking the score on my BB all night and it seems we are doing well.

we only punted once that half
yet we’re winning? that’s not right….
by bucknellbruin on Nov 15, 2008 8:56 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
I think Craft is only responsible for the second int
but he did fumble twice on top of that. He makes me nervous…

BO is "ready" behind him
I’d like to see us run up a lead and let BO play some.
Or, course there are lots of things I’d like …

saw you checked that Alter Bridge link yesterday. They aren’t from CO. 3 of them were in Creed, now have a new singer, and a trillion times better sound than Creed. Anyway, thought I’d throw that out when you were propping Pearl Jam. I thought Ten was brilliant, and AB reminds me some of that album – though AB is a more rock and less grunge. And that is Dr Drew.

Improvement
I’ve noticed some improvement this year at every position except the QB position. It is the most important position in college FB. Craft has had almost all the snaps this year. It takes at least 2 years for the QB to develop. I wonder if CRN and Coach Chow are set on him next year too. Otherwise, we need to develop a new QB next year, and the growing pains might continue for 2009-10

I don’t think Forbath is the solution, but I’m glad CRN has finally gotten tired of these garbage kicks from Rotstein

That was a well done drive
Even if we didn’t have the correct quarterback in the game.
How about a moratorium on calling for Craft to be pulled? Can we agree that Coach Neuheisel and Coach Chow have a slightly better take on who should be playing than anyone here has?
by Fox 71 on Nov 15, 2008 9:45 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
I understand
Where these guys are coming from. I’m not a fan of Craft, at all. His throws are behind on the slant, he shows poor decision making, etc.
But guys, here’s the problem: CRN and NC have looked at all of our QB options. Craft is the best option we have. He may not be a very good option, or an option we’re happy with, but it’s the best hand we have.
You’re not going to get dealt a straight or flush on every hand. Sometime you got to play the pair of 4’s and hope for the best.
Give it time and CRN and NC will have this program back on track, and, if NC is still around, maybe have a QB or two contending for the Heisman. Hell, those hacks Palmer and Leinart looked like gold under NC and we’ve seen them get tiotally exposed in the NFL.

But to say someone here is not allowed to criticize...
is akin to saying we shouldn’t have been allowed to call for KD’s firing because DG should know what he’s doing.
by Space_Monkey on Nov 15, 2008 9:49 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
There's a difference between fair criticism and beating a dead horse
Calling for Craft to be pulled time and time again is a waste of everyone’s time. Yes, the kid isn’t getting the job done, but we don’t have anyone better on the bench, or believe you me, CRN and NC would have that guy in the game.
The fact of the matter is, is that Craft is our QB, whether we like it or not. Criticize the guy’s poor decision making or tendency to throw it behind his receiver, but continuing to call for him being pulled is just a big a** waste of time.

I hate to kick a guy when he's down
but as far as I can see, Willingham is currently the worst D-1 coach around. He hated to see the man in the empty suit leave UCLA because CTS was the only coach who had less of a clue. I think Washington will be back fairly quickly. I thought Barbara Hedges was as inept as both Willingham and CTS, and now that Ms. Hedges and Willingham (can’t call him Coach Willingham, sorry) are gone, they should do OK.

Not sure, but good question
If the NCAA gives him this year as a medical RS, then he’d have one year left, correct?
If they say no dice, then he’d be done.

Craft is what he is ...
A JC QB.
And if he is this mediocre … I am assuming Chow has concluded that Forcier is not JC material (or at least will never fit in our system).
If I were Forcier… I’d start looking at other schools if wanting to stick with football.
