BN Gameday: Oregon Second Half Thread

Kevin getting back in sync today. Photo Credit: Telemachus

Well our offense looks definitely a little better with Kevin Prince at charge. Even though Prince started very rusty he got in rhythm and had our offense driving through a solid Ducks defense. Bruins are up by a score of 3-0 but they should have had at least 7 more points. They had a 1st and goal near the Ducks 1 yard line but came up short after a vanilla sequence at the goal line.

Still our defense is holding up well and playing solid against a great Oregon offense. Our kickers have been dynamite (nothing new there) and special teams have been solid (even though we need lot more out of Austin). As mentioned above with Prince our offense is moving the ball and dominating the time of possession by more than 2 to 1. Here is the box score. The most exciting player from first half on offense has been Damien Thigpen looking like a total BLUR that he is, while on defense Prince, Ayers and generally the whole unit is playing solid. So far.

Oregon gets the ball to start the second. Let's hope our D can maintain its momentum and the offense can finally break through. Let's get the second half thread started.

GO BRUINS.

humble request

Any brief play-by-play would be much appreciated, at least of big plays/scores. ABC is showing 3 regional games. East of the Rockies it’s either Oklahoma or Alabama on ABC, with the other on WWL. That means no chance of watching the Bruins without shelling out $25 for PPV – and following the slow GameCast online sucks compared to reading everyone’s insights here. Thanks on behalf of fellow Bruin expats.

Also, good job holding Oregon to 0. Hopefully Kelly doesn’t get ambitious and put Masoli in…hopefully the D stays aggressive, and we open it up a tad. More Thigpen, more Rosario! :)

by Bruins102NCAA on Oct 10, 2009 2:05 PM PDT reply actions  

Two things I'd like to change

The playcalling on the 1st and goal series. Not a single play action? Should have tried it on 2nd down.

Terence Austin is the punt returner because he makes good decisions, but he made terrible decisions on two punts. The first one he fielded at the 7. The second one he didn’t field and let it bounce from the 18 to the 1.

by BruinsRule on Oct 10, 2009 2:05 PM PDT reply actions  

Yeah

I was screaming for a play action at the goal line. Also could have been cool to see a quick toss using the speed of either Jet Ski or the Blur.

Norrie

Loved the comment that the PI on Paulsen was an “uncatchable” pass. The commentators have access to the same replay as fans, right? When the DB grabs your waist and holds you from the moment you make your cut, that’s what makes the pass uncatchable.

by BruinsRule on Oct 10, 2009 2:07 PM PDT reply actions  

They get the ball first.

We need to stop them on this opening drive.

Anyone else think Masoli might start the 2nd half?

The fact that their QB can’t run takes away a huge part of their offense.

Can they do that?

Isn’t there a rule against that?

I should have mentioned in my post above

Bruins need to settle down...

There’s plenty of time. All they need to do is run AT Oregon, versus trying to hit the edges. If I were the OC, do a classic Joe Montana in the ’80s West Coast drive. Short passes so Prince gets his confidence back and stops the rush, with Franklin hitting the holes hard. Plenty of time.

probably would go for it on 4th – but now can’t. More bad penalties from the bruins and those are the type of errors this team is becoming known for, and quite honestly, those are also the types of mistakes that are unacceptable. After every error – the other team has capitalized on it – physical errors are one thing, but the recurring “mental” errors are the frustrating part of following this team.

interesting question – does that TD do anything but decrease the chance that Brehaut comes in? Even though that seems counter-intuitive, l think this means Prince finishes out.

Prince, a lifelong Bruins fan, committed to Washington in the fall after former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell pulled back the Bruins’ recruitment of Prince. But the latest turn came last week when new coach Rick Neuheisel and offensive coordinator Norm Chow visited Prince.

“It’s kind of a dream come true,” Prince said. “It all kind of played out at the end the way it was supposed to. It was kind of crazy how it happened, but it’s cool I’m going to be able to go to UCLA and play for coach Neuheisel and coach Chow.”

Never Left a Game Early Before...

..in 20 years of watching UCLA football as student and alum.

Just got home as I left right after the 3rd touchdown in about 2 minutes at the start of the half.

It was/is clear to me that there is no way that with the current playcalling that the UCLA offense could score today.

First down at the 1, no points.

FIrst down at the 12, no points.

I hope that all the Craft haters and Brehaut (and even Prince) lovers are happy now as the offense threw the game away, along with special teams.

Does someone want to explain to me how Norm Chow is the “genius”?

Get used to the expression “winniable game”, because that will be the motto of this year.
