PB Unleashed: Arizona Second Half Thread

Our defense is hanging in there (despite taking some early punches).

Let's hope they keep fighting just like they did in this game:

And let's hope the offense can use the momentum in that last drive to come out in rhythm in the second half ... just like that game referenced above.

This is our second half Arizona thread.

GO BRUINS.

we have been

more of a second half team so far. Obviously in the Tenn game, but we did do better (although against second teamers) against BYU as well. Heres hoping!

Signs of good coaching

Able to make the halftime adjustments and be better in the 3rd quarter – though, I’m not sure we have the horses to really make it go.

yup

One thing you know, is that our coaches are smart. They will do their best to throw it all at the other team and play to our strengths. The problem is the limited number of strengths we possess in any given situation.

The Way I See It....

We need to come out and make a statement sometime early in the 2nd half. We can’t have the “D” out there for prolonged periods or they’ll simply get worn down.

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

Oregon

getting creamed by Boise State right now 24-6. They have issues it would seem. Second week in a row getting a very slow start.

Holy cow

We need to get some pressure on Tuitama right now

The D Can Get Itself Off The Field

All it has to do is stop them.

I’ve been reading here and watching the Fox game track. The D is causing its own problems.

In fact, we’ve run more O plays than they have.

Craft

the first bonehead play of this game. Argh.

by Nestor on Sep 20, 2008 1:57 PM PDT   0 recs

WTF?

Craft had the first down – why the hell did he throw that?

by McNown to Farmer on Sep 20, 2008 1:57 PM PDT   0 recs

Ugly

KC scrambling for the first and shoveled the ball forward – incomplete, but he was over the line of scrimmage. 4th down.

greg in denver

by gbruin on Sep 20, 2008 1:57 PM PDT   0 recs

That just killed the momentum

We had a good drive going there

by BruinFan96 on Sep 20, 2008 1:58 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

trying too hard.

Looked like he had an easy first down. Gotta take what they give you

greg in denver

by gbruin on Sep 20, 2008 1:59 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Dang

Craft should have just pushed ahead for the first

by sponkey21 on Sep 20, 2008 1:57 PM PDT   0 recs

AZ

returns punt to about the 35.

greg in denver

by gbruin on Sep 20, 2008 1:58 PM PDT   0 recs

Still a good

opening drive. Mistakes killed it at the end, but signs of life a la Tenn game.

by sponkey21 on Sep 20, 2008 1:58 PM PDT   0 recs

Dude-

Craft had the 1st and tosses the ball forward – a little composure please…

opportunity for a TD against Florida. 20-0 now at the half

We just need to get these people off the field. They are too explosive to give them 2 chances

needs to do a better job as a return man. He has been very underwhelming.

Just get up field

Austin!! He really needs to quit dancing. Anyone see Sproles return for a TD for the Chargers against the Broncos? Just blaze up field and get yards!

by sponkey21 on Sep 20, 2008 2:03 PM PDT   0 recs

Hey!

Didn’t need to bring that up! ;-)

Broncos and Chargers, so it was just a blast for me to watch. But the Broncos did get it given to them.

returns the punt 9 yds to the 22. Timeout on the field. Weird Acura kung fu commercial. Need more beer.
