Jahvid Best's Cal' Bears Embarrassing UCLA At The Rose Bowl

PrintThere 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.

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.
greg in denver - UCLA guy for life
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.
As angel fan, if i hear any more cock slobbering of my teams opponnent, i am going to vomit
These announcers should have their cal gear on. they are a disgrace.
Wow
I’ve been out ordering a cake for my son’s first birthday and I see that the score is 35-20. Has our offense been playing defense too?
Well I suppose we are still in it
I’m waiting for the adjustment to see if we can pull this one out. Doesn’t look good
Troy will fall...AGAIN!
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.
UCLA vs BYU 2008
59-0 7 TD passes and 1TD run
It's nice seeing the Whiskey
Where I have played, I really don’t want to see it during a football game. Brings back drunken memories

if this doesn't work out with neuheisel
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. And what was with that music, ABC? Are they trying to save licensing money because viewers are going to drop off?
agree
it’s just the 2nd year and there is a future, but yes, the present is painful.
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.
Yes, it is ugly but remember.....
We were picked to win any where from 5 to possibly 8 games this year. It is only the second year for a new coach and staff with one year of an infusion of raw talent. It will get better and no I’m not whistling in the woods.
Seeing how TA has sucked it up all season...
…I think DT is entitled to some time see what he can do.
Wonder if
we’ll see him on the next punt return, assuming our D forces anymore punts…

can we have our WRs . . .
stay on their feet!!! A top playmaker would have taken that to the house!!!
If we score
we should onside kick. That’s the classic video-game strategy when you can’t stop the other team.
Play action
Good to see we’re using it, but with our field position, the play ran out of room. The underthrow almost led to an INT.
Hey - ucla scores on this drive and they're right in it
not bad considering how they’ve played on d so far
If there was fantasy football for college ball
I would take Kai Forbath with my first pick.
The bus ride . .
. . . will catch up with Cal soon!
Could you imagine
Cal coming from ahead to lose this, and then having that bus ride home? No wonder they are so motivated.
greg in denver - UCLA guy for life
yeah
this game’s not over. Our offense is having an interesting day. Prince can sling it, but can the receivers catch it? He’s throwing some good balls and our running game is looking good.
agree
That’s the problem, no playmakers in the receiving corps.
I hope Kenny Stills is paying attention to this fact

I'm sure he is
And I hate to say it, because somebody else said it a couple weeks ago, but Prince looks Favre-esque. The fire and ability to throw it and run. He’s fearless.

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.
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.
So my father in law just left me a message during half time
“We have as much chance of winning as of getting meaningful healthcare reform.”
OUCH.

QB situation
Prince and Brehaut will need to step it up if they want the job. Don’t forget CRN hasn’t stopped recruiting QB talent: we’re bringing in a very highly touted QB out of Monte Vista (Danville, CA) next year. Kid will probably redshirt, but guys are going to have to step it up if they want the job.
I really am finding our games hard to watch. I love UCLA so much but this really is pathetic. We need to gamble a little and go for it. Our defense stinks today. Let's go offense. We need to get 1st downs.

. .. . guys, look at the schedule. UCLA plays at UofA, then at OSU. Those games are not gimmes at all and suddenly UCLA is 0-5 in the PAC. Confidence starts to get shattered, players and coaches start pointing fingers. It’s all down hill from there.
I like UCLA’s progress, but realistically the conference is too tough to salvage a 0-5 stretch.

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.
I think...
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
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.
I think I picked 6 wins
in the preseason poll. We’re still pretty much on that pace.
greg in denver - UCLA guy for life
Just looking at the replay
From my angle if if he got the ball to Paulsen it looked like it would have been behind him..
The story of this game is big plays
They made more than a few, and we didn’t have enough. We had our chances though, and at some point we have to execute and take advantage.
It seems like whenever the offense plays well
the D doesn’t show up, and visa versa last week.
no talent at WR. . .
. . . QBs are promising though
In some ways this game might be a good sign
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.

You know your program is lame...
…when you pour the Gatorade over your coach for going 4-2 by beating an unranked opponent.
Well, at least Tedford can say he finally won something in L.A.
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.
These are the growing pains. But I think in the end, it’ll be worth it.
agreed
this was a tough stretch of games. but i’m confident we will finish better than last year, and hopefully have a shot next year at a legitimate bowl game

If it was someone here who was hosting the Justin.tv feed. Thank You very much.
Execution
Plain and simple. They made big plays, and we almost made ours. A few missed tackles here, a dropped ball or an overthrow there and that’s your ballgame. Hopefully this drives the point home to our players that execution is of he utmost impotance because it cost us everything today.

yes
we can point to a total of 5 plays that made the difference in this game. 2 Best plays, and 3 dropped balls (and/or penalties). Although we have done better with penalties.
This sucks
A loss almost always ruins the rest of my weekend. I wish I didn’t care so much. All I wanted was a win for my bday weekend dammit!
