Bye Saturday: College Football Open Thread
Our boys are not in action today:

Photo Credit: uclafan11
But that doens't we are not watching any football today. If you are a UCLA football fan you have a must watch game in BYU v. Washington (starting around 12:10 PST on Fox Sports Net).
Other interesting actions include Marshall at Wisconsin, Miami at Florida, and West Va at East Carolina. You can track all the score via WWL here.
So if you are watching the games - especially the BYU-UDub game - thread it up and share all your notes and observations here in our bye week open game thread.
GO BRUINS.

Slingbox
Did you know that it was invented by a UCLA alum, the brother of water polo coach Adam Krikorian.

Ohio St?
Ohio just scored a TD on a botched snap to go up 14-6 over #3 Ohio St. State looks absolutely terrible. No offensive or defensive line, poor tackling, mental errors. We can hope that this is look-ahead syndrome with u$c next week, but it just looks bad. The best chance of the season for the crosstown losers to get beat is not lookin so hot right now.

Yeah
tOSU was looking ahead to next weekend. They still look very vulnerable heading into next Sat. They don’t have a lot of speed. Their QB is very average. Southern Cal should destroy them next weekend.

bummer too
I always look forward to a chance to see the trojies get spanked. A bit of a longshot right now by the looks of it. OSU has a habit of playing to the level of their competition, so hopefully they get a game plan together to give them a shot. I’ll never stop routing for my other favorite team (whoever is playing u$c)

Looks like it will be a rout
tOSU is incredibly predictable on offense (hint: run between the tackles and occasionally pass deep) and SC has the bodies to clog up the line of scrimmage. I just don’t see them being able to put up very many points next weekend.
If they are going to beat SC, their defense will have to play a perfect game. But after watching how Ohio’s running game consistently found holes just by running out of the shotgun, I don’t see that happening. tOSU’s coaching staff doesn’t adjust to non traditional offenses and SC will take advantage of that.
My early prediction:
SC 42
tOSU 20

so much for SC's tough non-conf schedule
so even if SC blows out OSU, it’s not going to help their ratings too much. i’m not sure if that’s a good thing. I want them to be ranked high, so if we upset them, it’ll be all that much better.

It almost seems unfair
how BYU has so many players who are a couple years older than their opponents. It is especially evident on their O-line. Washington rushed 4, blitzed 2 and still got zero pressure on Hall. Its gonna be a big test for Harwell, Price, and Walker’s game planning. BYU already up a TD after their first drive.

There were few games last year
When he was blunt/frank re. KD/UCLA. I really appreciated that. If he was a typical Trojan, he would have built up KD and sing his praises. He didn’t just called it like it is.
Just like Stewart Mandel – last few years – I have had to adjust my perspective on who are our friends, decent guys, and who are the culprits.

He did go to Cal before transfering
My old man’s wrath is focused on his partner Barry (can’t think of his last name). Mushmouth, he calls him.
My brother loves to tell the story how about five years ago, our old man was watching us playing Arizona and an Arizona player practically twisted one of our guys’s head around with a facemask. Barry says, “Well let’s see if this is a 5 yard or a 15 yard penalty.” My old man yells, “Of course it’s a 15 yarder you dipshit! He practically took his head off!”

UCLA to win 8 GAMES this season...
I was watching the halftime show of the BYU vs Washington game, and D’Marco Farr answered a question from a viewer regarding how many wins will UCLA get this year. His response was EIGHT!!! His rationale was our coaching staff. I’m not sure that I will go out on a limb and predict 8 wins yet myself, but its GREAT to see such positive media coverage in the Neuheisel era, just one week in!

Mr. BB=Rabid Cheesehead
His grandpa was a trainer for the Packers back in the 30s and 40s. My in-laws grew up in Green Bay, and Mr. BB was born in Milwaukee. They love their Packers, that’s for sure. Overall, very good people. I was able to wear a Troy Aikman jersey at Lambeau without getting too much ribbing (I only did that because he was announcing the game and my old man thought I would get on TV).
But these days, pro football is just entertainment to me. I will never love the Cowboys the way I did 15 years ago, but old habits are hard to break. Now UCLA football, that’s where I live and die.

back to the other games
Such a bummer for UDub, really not fair penalty at all. Refs should be ashamed of themselves for taking the game out of the players hands like that for no reason. We still have a great upset brewing in ECU WVA though, I’m there!

UW just got shafted!
What an absolutely terrible call by the refs for unsportsmanlike conduct. The kid just scored a TD and celebrated with his team, and ya penalize him 15 yards?! That has got to be one of the worst calls I’ve seen.

I’m listening to audio online for the BYU game, being streamed by KSL, the cougar network (because i’m watching the game on my slingbox and my phone speakers suck). Anyway… the commentators are totally trashing the Pac-10 refs for being so in favor of UW and other pac-10 schools. Yet, they conveniently brush aside that last awful call.

Mr. BB's observation
BYU’s o-line bullied UW’s d-line. That won’t happen next week. If our offense gets rolling, we’ll win.
For the first time in a long time, I have confidence in our coaching. Pinch me, I must be dreaming.

Tackling
seems to be the theme that keeps coming back to me in all these games. The Irish and the Mountaineers just can’t tackle. They are in position (mostly) but they just seem to throw their bodies in the general direction of the ball carrier. I hate that so much. Grab onto some cloth!!! I think that the Irish and the Mountaineers would be in at least slightly closer games if they could just tackle. Even if you aren’t the guy to take him down, slow him down so he doesn’t pick up as many yards. Guys hit, the carrier continues for 5 yards, if they just held on they could keep it to 2 extra yards or so.

that became somewhat of an issue for us last week when our D started getting a little tired. They were fine once offense got some drives going in the second half. Goes to show how important it will be for Craft and co. to get it going early on next Sat.

GA put up 56 on CMU thus far (game almost over). Not a good opponent, but still. A little tart about being jumped by the trOJans maybe?
