Oregon Ducks at UCLA Bruins, Oct 10, 2009 12:30 PM PDT
We will stick with the defensive theme even though the hot story is the QB situation for both teams. Can our defense redeem itself after last weekend's outing against Stanford? Can Brian Price and co. set the tone right out of the gate in their first series today at the Rose Bowl. Here is to our defense shining in a bounce back Saturday and setting up rest of CRN's second season at UCLA.
Bruins and Ducks will kickoff around 12:30 p.m. at the Rose Bowl. We will have to put up Rich Gannon and the insufferable David Norrie on ABC. I hope someone has given David the message that it is ok for him to show his blue and gold colors on national tv.
If you still need to get caught up on all of our notes concerning this game from last few weeks, you can do so by checking out our full coverage here. If you are looking to track the game online you can also keep your tabs open to the official site and WWL's game page.
Let's get this game thread started.
Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

To N wrt the spread
I also think that it’s the schematic advantage of the spread that makes great athletes looks lost and out of place. It confuses defenses and can punish those that play fast, aggressive, and undisciplined (I think Georgia’s D possesses these qualities)
by mdjohns4 on Oct 10, 2009 12:06 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Good point
To me the key to stopping spread defenses is having those big/fast athletes who can fit in either as LB or SS or play a hybrid position. Akeem Ayers is the guy on our defense who seems like the perfect counter weapon. I was under the impression that Georgia defense has lot of athletes like Akeem. So surprised that they are having a hard time with this. On the other hand, from what I can remember from Tennessee they play more of a pro-set offense and our defense matched up well against them.

Believe
Ward’s replacement is Boyett, freshman. done very well filling in. Ducks have many athletes on D. I was hoping banged up secondary might allow Prince to stretch field a bit. Anxious to see what he can do. Front 4 has been getting pressure on opposing QBs and forcing them to get rid of the ball pretty quickly. Big test for bruin line today.

He has to do a better job of going and getting the ball instead of having it come to him.
by orlandobruin on Oct 10, 2009 12:43 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hard punt to field
But he should have done better.
Honestly, I don’t like having him back there: he’s one of our key WRs and I don’t like risking him getting injured returning punts.
I’d love to see what Thigpen or Carroll can do back there. They have the speed and I think anything we can do to get the ball in their hands is good for our Bruins.

Nice pitch and catch
Prince to Embree for a first down.
And I love that Embree had two Ducks on him and still didn’t go down. Guy has great size. I’d love to see us put more balls high for him to go jump and get over shorter defenders: he has the height and the size to win those balls in the air.

of series Prince might be out of sync. Freshman coming back from broken jaw against Oregon D, not an easy task.
by Bruins095 on Oct 10, 2009 12:49 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
To be realistic
Prince is going to be rusty for a good chunk of the first half.
I think we need to keep it close, within one score going into half. If we can keep the Ducks from building a huge lead, I like our chances in the second half, once Prince gets back up to game speed and into rhythm.
I know we were all hoping he’d lead us down the field, but give him some time and it’ll work out.
We just need to rely on our defense this half.

If you look closely, Paulsen was being held by the defender as Prince was releasing. The PI wasn’t just the take-down but the tug that impeded Paulsen from even getting to the spot.

Getting him from UT was so huge. I love this kid’s potential.

He doesn't have the body
And the ability to freakishly run into a pile and make it out. But he’s got a great future, I think.

Austin with a great catch
While being hit. That’s what we need him to do, and only that. No more punt returning, please.
Great speed by Carroll but he’s got to bring that ball in. Should be 1st down on the Oregon 10 or 11.

by DannyJay01 on Oct 10, 2009 1:32 PM PDT via mobile reply actions 0 recs
Don't know about that...
…Medlock was kind of weak.
Dude was able to drop the ball in the end zone all day, every day his freshman year, and it went downhill from there. Guy would blast a 50+ yarder, but then miss an easy 20 yarder.
And there was that whole DUI and leaving his friend in his totaled car thing. Not exactly a Bruin to be proud of.
But I love Forbath. Dude is money. Consistent and has a great leg.
And since we’re on the subject, I’m down with Locke and his ability to put the ball in the end zone on kickoff. Rotstein was terrible. Just absolutely terrible.

Rotstein

3 points off of a drive that started at the 1 yard line is nothing to be upset about. Come on Forbath!

Neuheisel seems a lot more relaxed on the sidelines.

I’m feeling better about our future. Let’s go Bruins! let’s get a 3 and out and drive down and score to end the half. The Oregon Offense is going to be cold.

by insomniacslounge on Oct 10, 2009 1:49 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes, simple game theory dictates that passing on 2nd and 1 is a low-risk high-reward play that leaves you with plenty of options on 3rd down.

Norrie just said he’s been very impressed by Norm Chow’s playcalling. Do these guys watch the games? l don’t think it’s been horrible, but certainly very predictable.

I'll take the 3-0 lead at half
Keeping the Ducks’ explosive offense at 0 for the half is pretty solid.
Although you know they’re going to blame it all on Costa since he’s not Masoli. Dude has played well and not made any mistakes. Ducks’ playcalling just isn’t working against our defense and we’re controlling the time of possession.
If we keep it up, I’m liking our chances to squeak out a close one.

Gotta Take Advantage Of Opportunities We Get In 2nd Half
Still feel like we should be up 10-0 instead of 3-0. We can’t afford to miss out on easy scoring opportunities in 2nd half.
