There is still an entire half to play. However, I am not sure I have to wait till the game is over to write up our post game thread.Cal Bears are demolishing Rick Neuheisel's Bruins by a score of 35-20. It probably will be lot worse by the time the game is over because it looks like Jahvid Best, Shane Vareen and co are just getting cranked up.
Bruins came out today looking unfocused, unprepared and completely out of it from pretty much all facets of the game. Sure they had some good moments on defense and some big plays on offense but they look like a team that not only has not been able to improve from last two week's losses, they now appear to be a team that have substantially regressed since that big win in Tennessee.
Bears have already piled up over 327 yards of offense, destroying a boring, conventional and predictable Chuck Bullough defense. Meanwhile, speaking of conventional what else to say about this offense. Well they have shown a pulse and some signs of life with scoring runs including a huge play from Jet Ski. But we are still settling for FGs and Prince doesn't look steady. But hey ... Forbath is still on track to be an All American!!!! We are scoring 3s to answer their 7s. Here is the box score if you want to take a look.
We were all excited about Rick Neuheisel taking over in Westwood because we thought we were going to get a coach who is aggressive and is always playing to win. Well I am not sure how else to read the signal he gave rest of his offense when he settled for a FG while just couple of yards away from 4 shots at a TD.
Sure we have young players who are inexperienced and are learning to win. However, from what we have seen this afternoon, for the first time I have real doubts in mind in terms of whether we have proper schemes in place, whether our coaches are building the right foundation, and whether they are coaching up our guys with a hunger to win.
This might as well be our post game thread. Not sure if I will puut up another post game thread unless Bruins come back to win this game. I really hope this post looks silly after next 30 mins. However, the way Neuheisel coached Bruins have played this past 30 mins and in last two weeks right now you tell me whether I should have any sense of hope.
Oh and BTW perhaps we should start taking buses to all our road games. Might as well start saving the change to hire some decent assistant coaches at the end of the season.
GO BRUINS.

this reminds me of KD punting on the SC 35 yard line on 4th down
when they were the best offense in the NCAA. Field Goals and punting won’t do crap for us. We need to go for it on 4th and short anytime the ball is past our 45.
The defense looks like what a first year coordinators defense would look like. Bullough needs to go at year end unless he shows we can play up to our talent level.

The 4th and inches at the 50
led to 14 cal points and a change in momentum. Very dorrelian.

yes
I want us to be the kind of team that looks at a play like that, and just know that we are going to go on 4th, and we’re going to get it. These guys need to learn to win. Give them the chance.

I was really proud of or team for going for the 4th an inches last week.
I was pist we didn’t make it happen, but I was proud to see the change in attitude, playing to win, not “playing not to lose.” I am not a head coach whose livelihood depends on making the right calls, but last week was last week. Our failure there should not dictate this weeks performance, although i clearly think it did. I don’t want to see rameriz get another carry either, he doesn’t add anything to the equation. AHHHHHH.

the only good thing is:
At least with an offense that can score, we have the possibility of coming back. After going down by 14 to oregon, I knew the game was over because we couldn’t score,
We still have a shot at this…

Halftime show
Cal’s band plays 4 or 5 modern pop songs that I’m not a fan of, but are cool to hear from a band. Organized, original, well done.
Our band plays with 26 high school bands so there’s no room for choreography or anything interesting. I like our band. LET THEM PLAY.It’ss one thing to bring in this stuff in September when we don’t have our full band, but this is a joke.

Fourth and inches
We have a tremendous weapon in Locke, but that weapon only works if the D works. In 30 minutes, our defense has given up 376 yards. We have given up eleven plays of more than t0 yards, and four plays of over 40 yards. What that means to me is that our only defense is to keep the ball. I would go for it on fourth down every time, and it doesn’t have to be fourth and inches.
So we get a punt to the seven. So they have a 93 yard run. If we turn it over on downs, they get only a 50 yard run, and we have about 15 more seconds at the end of the half.
I really have never seen a UCLA defense get beaten up this bad. Now we find out what our coaches can do at halftime.

I want Guerrero gone, too. I remember Neu being one of the best choices in December 2007 with a lot out there. Is Neu the right guy? I don’t know. The choices have been Dorrellian and suspect.

maybe so
I like to think it’s simply that our guys in the trenches aren’t strong enough, because we shouldn’t be getting embarrassed this badly. 370+ yards in the second half? The offense looks good today, but I don’t want any signs of what Dorrell used to do and that 4th and inces and the 4th and 2 was very much like it.

While I am frustrated
I want to remind everyone that we are in Year 2 of the rebuilding plan, we are one game over .500, and we are losing to a team that was recently ranked #6 in the country. Our two losses are a close one to a very good team, top 15 team at home, and a very good Stanford team on the road. We beat an SEC team in one of the toughest places in the country to play.
I don’t like the sense that we’re not going balls out to win games from a coaching standpoint and coaching like we have nothing to lose, but at the same time I think we are pretty much on schedule as far as our expectations going into this season.
by paulucla on Oct 17, 2009 2:46 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, agree
part of it also is the analysis on the net and months of hope for some vast improvement and maybe raised expectatiions. We could still end up with 5-7 wins, which is what most were talking about. It’s just tough to see the defense get exposed. The coaches will earn their money to keep them positive for the rest of the season, because they have to stay positive.

Rest of the season
What do you guys think UCLA will do for the rest of the season? Seriously, look at the schedule, at UofA, then at OSU, then UW at home. I say we may win two more games: UW and WSU. I’m not being doom and gloom, I’m looking at a very tough schedule objectively.

we win at least a couple more. Even Dorrell teams pulled out victories where they shouldn’t have.
by shipphappens on Oct 17, 2009 3:51 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
going into the season:
There were four teams definitely better than us (or tough games to win). They were:
Tenn
Oregon
Cal
USC
I thought we’d win 1 of them
There were four teams about even with us:
Or. State
ASU
Arizona
Stanford
we’d split these.
there were four teams we were clearly better than:
SD
KSU
Wash
WSU
We’d win 3 of the 4.
I still stick by my prediction, because so far we’re doing exactly this. Only problem now is Washington has moved up from a definite win to an even match.

In the sense that there are some glimmers of life in the offense. We might stand a chance against teams with worst defenses than Cal. Especially if our defense plays a complete game against teams with worse offenses than Cal. And that could be UofA, ASU, UW, WSU, and OSU.

Got to keep it big picture folks: we were terrible last year and we’re in only the second year of CRN’s rebuilding project.
Let’s not forget that our most talented guys are the youngest ones on the field. Once they develop, mature, and pick up the college game, I like where our program is going long term.
