Here we go. During last two years we have talked a lot about how needed our defense to carry the team. Well no doubt we are going to need our defense to play exception against an explosive Cal offense. However, I think for us to get a win today we are going to need Kevin Prince to show the same steady leadership and game management skills he showed flashes off (for extensive stretches) during the first two games this season.

Hopefully Prince has shaken off the rust after being out from injury and is back to taking full control of this offense. We will need an outstanding defensive effort today and combine that worth an efficient, disciplined, and patient offense at the Rose Bowl. For that to happen we are going to need Kevin and his team-mates to step up and help the D.

The kickoff time is scheduled for 12:30 pm PST on ABC. If you still need to get caught up on all of our notes concerning this game, 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.

So ready or not, here we go. Fire away.

GO BRUINS.

Wait, will they delay our game

if this OU/Texas game doesn’t get a move on? The fourth quarter barely just started.

Or will they switch?

Hopefully it won’t be an issue on ESPN gameplan.

It is going to be interesting

OSU didn’t look very good offense. Unbelievably Tressel has faced some heat this year after their loss against $C*. Imagine he is going to face more questions when they get back to CBus.

Pryor despite the late heroics looked really sloppy.

Has there ever been a player better than Detlef Schrempf?

by bucknellbruin on Oct 17, 2009 12:46 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah he did

It came off the Cal player’s hands, and the interference by Thigpen was minimal at best.

by Bellerophon on Oct 17, 2009 12:47 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Fair to throw the flag

There was contact with the returner that ‘could’ have affected his ability to make the catch, but that should not be a 15-yard call. Not on a fair catch, at least.

by bruinhoo on Oct 17, 2009 12:47 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

right

Thinking of ‘should’ as more of an ideal – unless there is roughing, fair catch interference shouldn’t be a 15 yard flag (not a great effect on the game).

Prince's throws have been terrible

And if you watch his head, he’s not looking off the defenders. He’s locking on one receiver and it’s giving their DBs the time to react.

Ever since he got his jaw busted at TN.

The kid just doesn’t have his head in the game it seems like. His throws are way off, he’s missing easy plays, and he has no clue what is happening around him.

If he’s our best option, that has me really concerned.

TA screws up again

If TA would learn to slow up, and let the four guys on his team behind him cach up and block the last man, he would have scored.

You can’t just sprint down the field, you need to learn when to shift gears to let a block develop.

by Bellerophon on Oct 17, 2009 1:02 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

What? Why did he not just keep running down the line?

Why turn in towards the middle when he only had one guy (presumably the kicker) to beat?

B.F.

by eubruin on Oct 17, 2009 1:03 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

He beat the kicker..

…but there was one Bear to beat. He could have cut inside, slowed his pace, let a block develop, then throw it on and hit the outside.

If we can actually knock it in and get a TD for once, it’s a moot point, but knowing our red zone offense, we’re getting only 3 points here.

Me too

It’s ridiculous. He doesn’t have the speed to do the job and he clearly doesn’t have the head to do it either.

Carroll and Thigpen have real speed and, like I said last week, anything we can do to get the ball in the hands of those two speedy playmakers, is good for our Bruins.

by Bellerophon on Oct 17, 2009 1:15 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Thigpen must be entirely incapable of catching the ball

because Austin is clearly not getting it done…

B.F.

by eubruin on Oct 17, 2009 1:14 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I do not recall him as a serious threat. Ever.

But maybe the coaches consider him relatively consistent and not a liability. This may be the issue with some of our other speedsters – their inexperience could cause fumbles… I honestly don’t know why we stick with Austin.

This team

has to take advantage of every opportunity. They aren’t good enough (yet) that they can let chances go by.. Gotta get TD’s instead of FG’s. Can’t give other teams first downs with penalties, can’t lose the turnover battle, and they have to make plays, like getting yards on punt returns when there is room.

greg in denver - UCLA guy for life

here's an example

3rd and 4. Easily convertible. Execute and keep the drive going, or make a mistake/take a penalty/get beaten by the D and give up the ball. Great teams make this. That’s what we are aiming to be.

I've never been a fan of the handoff to the TE

even if he is a hybrid like Pressley

I’d rather have him in open space vs a LB down the field and throw the ball to him.

the D has been ok. it’s just been the long plays. obviously it’s not a good showing overall, but for 85% of the plays we’ve been solid

Has there ever been a player better than Detlef Schrempf?

I hate that rule

“Momentum carried it” into the end zone, so he can still down it. That’s weak. Once you touch it, it should be a live ball. No downing it. You shouldn’t get bailed out for being a screw up.

he is reliable, and while he doesn’t house it, he will catch it and generally give us some positive return yards in the 10-15 yard variety. wait til someone muffs a punt and then see how you feel.
