PB Unleashed: BYU Open Thread

UCLA Bruins @ BYU Cougars


Here we go.

Let’s get this started. Bruins are on the road for the first time under Rick Neuheisel.

As we have discussed all week Bruins are going to be huge underdogs this afternoon going up against one of the best offenses in the nation on their home turf. We are going to need our young QB and the developing offense to show the same poise and maturity they showed in the second half in its first game, and they will need a memorable performance from these guys …

The kickoff time is scheduled for 12:30 pm PST. Again, if need to get caught up on all of our notes concerning this game from last few weeks/months, you can do so by going here. Also you can click on the links below under "Related Item" for updated game stats and track the game via WWL, CBS Sportsline, and UCLA's official site.

So let's go ladies and gentleman. Let's fill up up the first road game thread of the Rick Neuheisel era with everything we got in our passion buckets.

Fire away.

GO BRUINS.

Ready And Fired Up!

Unlike some of the Big 10 venues today (Iowa City, Evanston, East Lansing) the weather looks good in Provo. Hope our guys are ready to go out and knock the snot out of BYU.

Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

3 minutes left in the Cal game

35-20 Maryland. Cal now has the ball on their own 20 after a missed Maryland FG.

Oh Great....

We get to relive the memory of the blocked FG attempt at the end of the Las Vegas Bowl coming up on the pregame show.

Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

Tedford is a decent coach

But he is starting remind me of a slimmer Bob Toledo.

by Nestor on Sep 13, 2008 12:31 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

good recruiter, good x and o

terrible manager of personalities and team.

His team has been moving in opposite directions and in dischord since last year and he still hasn’t resolved it. They have been playing below their talent level for quite a while.

These Versus announcers

They sound awful.

by Nestor on Sep 13, 2008 12:32 PM PDT   0 recs

Negative

I’ve watched HS telecasts that were better than this.

I like this little rivalry with BYU

But we really need to stop playing Mountain West teams at their place until their conference dumps this Versus bullsh*t.

by norcald503 on Sep 13, 2008 12:40 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

again

we are on the same wave length.

by Nestor on Sep 13, 2008 12:40 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

What is a versus?!?!?

At least you guys get to see video. We don’t get this network at my house.

Oh, well, I can “see” it on the radio…

Versus...

is the redheaded stepchild of sports broadcasting…

even worse than FSN.. and I didn’t know that was possible…

Game time

let’s do it

Nice Move

forcing the TO

by SuperBruinMan on Sep 13, 2008 12:40 PM PDT   0 recs

Damn.

4th & 1. Glad they’re going for it, though. :)

LET’S GO!

Love My Bruins

by Bruingirl83 on Sep 13, 2008 12:40 PM PDT   0 recs

going for it on 4th

how many times would KD have even contemplated? Forced BYU to take a TO, too. Ketchum should have known where the sticks were though.

by sponkey21 on Sep 13, 2008 12:40 PM PDT   0 recs

C'mon D.

Love My Bruins

by Bruingirl83 on Sep 13, 2008 12:42 PM PDT   0 recs

Smart move by CRN

Too early to risk going for it on 4th and 1 deep in our own territory. But head-faking BYU to cost them a TO and then running the offense out before running the punt team out was nice.

KD would never have been that head’s up.

by norcald503 on Sep 13, 2008 12:42 PM PDT   0 recs

fumble

forward for the first though…

by sponkey21 on Sep 13, 2008 12:42 PM PDT   0 recs

So close

Hall is carving up the defense, but if they’re sloppy with the ball, we have a chance

by norcald503 on Sep 13, 2008 12:43 PM PDT   0 recs

D needs to step it up

they are winning the battle in the trenches in the early going.

by Nestor on Sep 13, 2008 12:43 PM PDT   0 recs

sloppy play

early. Unga is just stuttering in the backfield and waiting for holes. Corners too soft, and D line getting no pressure. Could be a long day if we keep this up.

by sponkey21 on Sep 13, 2008 12:45 PM PDT   0 recs

our secondary coverage

not good at all.

by Nestor on Sep 13, 2008 12:45 PM PDT   0 recs

If someone could post any big plays, it'd be greatly appreciated :-)

sailing around the South Pacific might be nice.. but bandwidth and TV reception is crap :-(

by impaulv on Sep 13, 2008 12:46 PM PDT   0 recs

nothing big

just consistent, they have a first down in the red zone

Purdue 7 Oregon 3

Purdue scored on the first play from scrimmage

TD BYU

Damn … they made it look very easy … and I imagine Walker will need to make some adjustments fast.

by Nestor on Sep 13, 2008 12:48 PM PDT   0 recs

TD BYU

Pitta on a 10 yard TD reception.

Defense looked sorry. Let them walk down the field.

by norcald503 on Sep 13, 2008 12:48 PM PDT   0 recs

Lockett looks rusty

Slow to react on coverage and a missed tackle on Pitta. Got to step up.

by norcald503 on Sep 13, 2008 12:49 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Jeez - they made that look easy....

Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

by Minnesota Bruinfan on Sep 13, 2008 12:48 PM PDT   0 recs

Hall never had anyone come within 4 yards of him, neither did their receivers

by sponkey21 on Sep 13, 2008 12:49 PM PDT   0 recs

No pressure. No coverage.

There was what, one good defensively play on that drive? And even that went for positive yardage. They gained on every single play. Could be a long day.

by LA Seitz on Sep 13, 2008 12:49 PM PDT   0 recs

Offense

needs to get us something, but we can’t get into a shoot out, it will end badly

by sponkey21 on Sep 13, 2008 12:50 PM PDT   0 recs

I still have faith

In our gutty little Bruins.

by BruinWannabe on Sep 13, 2008 12:51 PM PDT   0 recs

Run, no gain

Love My Bruins

by Bruingirl83 on Sep 13, 2008 12:52 PM PDT   0 recs

but

I do like the option, 8 yard run

by sponkey21 on Sep 13, 2008 12:52 PM PDT   0 recs

where is

the FLAG!!!!

by sponkey21 on Sep 13, 2008 12:53 PM PDT   0 recs

First down

pass interference.

Big first down.

Sweet!

Thanks for the updates guys :-)

by impaulv on Sep 13, 2008 12:53 PM PDT   0 recs

dang

poor throw by craft, way too low, could have been a first down too

by sponkey21 on Sep 13, 2008 12:54 PM PDT   0 recs

Damn

Nice play option but Craft short hops it … 3rd and 6,

by Nestor on Sep 13, 2008 12:54 PM PDT   0 recs

Michigan sucks

They’re so overrated and I am so damn tired of hearing how “great” their rivalry with overrated Ohio State is.

Speaking of Ohio State, every year everyone thinks they’re a contender and then they get exposed for being soft. First by Florida, then by LSU, and this year, after seeing how sorry they were against Ohio, U$C is going to just destroy them in the Masoleum.
