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.

Unfortunately I have to work today… but thank goodness for slingbox. I’m sure CRN will be breaking down the game too.

Slingbox

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

i didn't know that

all of a sudden, i love my slingbox even more. i didn’t know that was possible. thanks bb!

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.

by sponkey21 on Sep 6, 2008 11:00 AM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

Just tuned in. Wow!

They are playing without Beanie Wells though.

Michigan struggling against Miami (OH) in the Big House: only up 10-6.

Looks like Ohio is folding though

The Buckeyes look very vulnerable but Ohio does not seem to be able to do anything about it. Too many mistakes

by Rhapsode on Sep 6, 2008 11:48 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Nestor on Sep 6, 2008 11:49 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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)

by sponkey21 on Sep 6, 2008 12:08 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hopefully

Beanie Wells gets healthy … FAST.

by Nestor on Sep 6, 2008 12:10 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

by Rhapsode on Sep 6, 2008 12:18 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

OSU

Didn’t look like a top-10 team (at least today).

Which game? BYU-Washington?

Have you checked the official sites?

by Nestor on Sep 6, 2008 12:25 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

By the way

Papadakis cracks me up. He is a funny guy for a Trojie.

by Nestor on Sep 6, 2008 1:29 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by Nestor on Sep 6, 2008 1:33 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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!”

Notre Dame

in a scoreless tie with SDSU in the 2nd. Is it just me, or does anyone else cringe when they see the ND field. I just have that memory of sitting in the stands thinking we had a victory and watching it slip away in the final seconds. :(

If you are having a hard time finding UW on Directv

It’s on channel 692….which was exactly the TWENTIETH Wash/BYU channel I checked.

My gosh, OSU SUCKS!! 28-0 in the second. I don’t “get” why so many people think Reilly is such a good coach. Thank the Lord we don’t have him.

by bornagainbruin on Sep 6, 2008 1:38 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think there was some interest in Riley this time around. I think he is a decent coach. Too bad he will never be able to recruit top talent to Corvallis.

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!

GO BRUINS!

our corners will have their work cut out for them. Hopefully the defensive tackles get good pressure, and the defensive line keep their hands in the air and we get some balls tipped. Maybe even a pick or two as a result.

They are not giving up and are in the red zone again. WVU is going down if they dont get their act together. Maybe it would be good mojo for us. We get an upset when they do?

Homer finally does something good and Springfield gives him a parade. Marge tells Bart and Lisa that they can hold their heads high.

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.

if the flags are glued to the refs pockets, its iffy, but I dunno

Ought to be ashamed of themselves.

They should be.

All he did was throw the ball over his shoulder and hug his teammates.

Extreme powertrip and bad call by the refs

ouch

what a horrible call… byu played well, but this should have been decided in OT

by sfatoo on Sep 6, 2008 3:20 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Oh wow

and offside penalty. That helps.

Not surprised by that

West Va defense hasn’t been that great.

BTW Mendenahall … I like him a lot. Classy guy.

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!

is a joke. How in the world were they 21 point favorites?

sheesh

absolutely no tackling ability for West Virginia. They just bump into the ECU guys and hope they fall down, disgraceful.

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.

utah radio

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.

Next week's game is going to get really interesting

I am sure Neuheisel/Chow/Walker found lot of nuggets to work with from this game.

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.

some good games on this Saturday. I think there have been more interesting games on this Saturday than there were last week.

and almost none of these games were good on paper. Fun day!

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.

by sponkey21 on Sep 6, 2008 3:39 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

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.

by Nestor on Sep 6, 2008 3:41 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

especially when you are tired and can’t stick him hard, just hold on. Keep it to a 4 yard gain instead of bumping into him and letting him rumble for 10.

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?
