Let's start with the good news. Lot's of it:

Bruins did exactly what they needed to do in the first half. Our defense came out and absolutely throttled the Cougars from the outset blitzing and mixing up the coverage. They picked off the Marshall Lobbesteal 3 times in their first 3 drives and turned it into 14 points. Akeem had 2 of those picks

Prince looked efficient early on taking advantage of the TO and finding Embree in the end zone. Then he looked Cadesque scampering down the sideline for a 68 yard TD.

The Bruins are up by a score of 26-0. They are in full control of this game. Here is the boxscore. And oh BTW down in LA Stanford is currently humiliating humiliated Southern Cal on their "homecoming" game. Harbaugh's team is on their to bust Petey's streak of Pac-10 conference titles, BCS appearances, 11 game winning seasons, and demolishing that "dynasty."

So it is potentially shaping up to be a great Saturday for UCLA in Bruin Nation. However, Bruins can look much better than the scoreboard indicates. More after the jump.

Star-divide

We have committed some silly mistakes with penalties and two fumbles (one from Austin which luckily went out of bounce and one from Jet Ski which will surely cost him more PT). CRN mentioned at half time that Prince needs to settle down just a bit and not get too greedy. He needs to take what the defense is giving him instead of trying to make big plays every time out.

We get the ball first in second half. So we need to come out and play clean football, effectively put this game completely out of reach, and get out of Pullman with a big win. Yes, winning this game is a big deal for our program because it will keep the momentum we have enjoyed since Moore's spectacular pick from last Sat. Let's get it done. Thread away.

GO BRUINS.

The good thing about Cal v. Stanford...

One of them has to lose. I say this as a dislocated SoCal who constantly has to hear how much they hate L.A. I am so sick of that.

48-21

There’s probably a cheat-sheet somewhere that says … when up 27, go for two to try to make it a 5 possession game. :-)

by snorkeldorf on Nov 14, 2009 3:54 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I was told Cheat called a late pointless time out in last year's game against Stanford.

Harbaugh’s choice to go for two looked like retaliation.

Not completely clear on the situation with the time out last year though, or how it lacked sportsmanship.

Those of you calling for Brehaut...

Did you not see the game last week? Craft clearly 2nd string.

by 84 on Nov 14, 2009 4:42 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

It's for long term experience

Craft is absolutely our backup.

See your point but getting Craft more snaps now equals better readiness if needed

against ASU, USC, Bowl Game. Wins this year equals better recruiting equals more smiles here in future

Prince staying in rhythm

Let’s wrap it up for him with a TD in this drive.

I haven’t seen a beat down like this since Stanford crushed some team in the Mausoleum.

I want to believe the later,

but this game really doesn’t mean much beyond a much-needed win against the worst team in the Pac-10.
We may be better, but this game doesn’t indicate anything (besides that we can’t hold onto the football)

Prince's stat line

I wonder who is the better first year college QB in LA right now?

C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT
Kevin Prince 26/39 330 8.5 1 0

by Nestor on Nov 14, 2009 4:47 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Right on

If a certain LA paper had any credibility, they would be talking up Prince right now and not that other guy.

The stats are what they are, folks.

I think our offense is clicking now

Looks good. Have to beat AZ St.

I know Wazzu is bad but our guys need a game like this to really build up their confidence going into the home stretch.

314 yds, 67.5% completion for Prince...

very nice… but I realize we gotta temper our expectations because this Wazzu team is just not good at all.

Kevin Prince

Kevin Prince has 314 yards, his 3rd 300-yard game. Tommy Maddox is the only other Bruin freshman with 3 300-yard games. (per UCLA Athletics)

we see the quality of Peatie, his team, and their fans. Pathetic

THAT

is what makes Locke one of the best of the best punters in college football, and will ensure that he will be recognized as such by the end of his four years here. Consistently downing the ball in the 10, on top of having an enormous leg.
Good job, man!

how teams can blast holes in the middle of the line and then get into our secondary, then they take crappy angles = 20 yard runs

I agree

He has the ability to put up big numbers.
He won’t do it, though, if he only touches the ball 3 times per game.
Knox needs to prove himself in practice and show what he can do in games with significant carries.

To burn his eligibility handing the ball off the back up running backs.
