BN Gameday: Arizona State Second Half Thread

Bruins are up by a score of 20-7 (boxscore) thanks to a reversal of last year's game against ASU. Last year it was ASU's defense scoring 4 TDs to win the game. So far in the first half today it's the Bruin defense (despite having some rough moments against the run) that has come up big in the first half by scoring 2 huge defensive TDs giving us the lead.
ATV is having a memorable senior day so far with a pick 6 setting the tone for the game and then recovering a fumble. Akeem Ayers is on fire wreaking havoc from the edge and then scoring an incredible TD in a fumble recovery. Still think our defense needs to sharpen up more especially against the rushing attack.
As for on offense we have had some good moments. We put together a nice drive, however it ended with a FG. Kevin Prince has been in rhythm at times and given how he is scrambling for tough yards, it looks like he is slowly emerging as the heart and soul of this offense. Still we need to really cut down on penalties (killed at least couple of our drives) in the second half. There is still a long way to go in this game.
Let's hope we can play with the same fire and emotion but play smarter on both sides of the field in second half. Time for the second half thread.
GO BRUINS.

Charlie Wies' Career Just Wnet Wide Left
Check out my article about the Dodger Dugout Club.
Edsall
F’d up. He had 3 TO’s. 1st play they rip a 18 yd run. Call TO. Run more plays and get as close as possible for a FG. They don’t have Kai so a 37 yd FG is not a gimme.
Oregon State beating WSU 21-3, midway through the 2nd quarter
And $C’s Rose Bowl hopes hanging by a quickly fraying thread
Ole Miss should be leading.
Got 2 penalties (one of which was a B.S. unsportsmanship conduct penalty when he dove into the endzone with a LSU payer right there) on one play that negated a TD and made it first and 35 earlier in the game. Penalties stack because one was a dead ball foul even though the ball was not “dead.”

So close
Every time it looks like UCLA might score an offensive touchdown, ASU’s defense holds. It doesn’t help that UCLA has committed so many penalties and other miscues.
his first was 8 yards deep
so i think he’s ok…don’t think you saw that one

Broken play
70 yards TD. Missed 2-pointer when the guy dropped the ball.
Just like that
ASU back in the game quick. All those missed opportunities are gonna haunt UCLA unless the guys start taking advantage of opportunities on offense.
good god
That guy was SO open. We could have really eaten it.

ASU QB has played better in this half
UCLA offense needs to start producing. That means the offensive line needs to start stepping it up a notch and allow Prince to make plays.
another fail
when we had them stopped. Why a linebacker isolated on a speedy receiver? Need some offense to answer that breakdown.
Moline looks very good today
really using his body well

But this Moline wrinkle has had glimmers of ball control potential. I like it.

love the Train
but how about a fake to Moline and quick play action pass deep?
why are we the only ones ever called for holding today?

these penalties
are going to offset all the ASU turn overs if we don’t get a score here.
wow
maybe the first badly kicked ball i’ve ever seen from Kai

One other from a couple of weeks ago
Kai dug his foot halfway into the turf at the point of contact w/the ball

Wanted to run the clock
That’s the only explanation I can find for them not going for a pass play on 3rd and long.
More mistakes as usual
Holding call of course. Not to mention the receiver fumbled the ball, but it wasn’t called. O-line has been a bane this afternoon.
Man
I have seen a few holds on ASU side, for some reason i dont mind this young O-line getting a couple holding penalties, but i would like to not see them come at such critical moments, real killers.
I know we're focused on this game
But can I get an fsc
No replays
I want to see some of these holding calls to see if they’re legit.
It's not Donahue to put your awesome kicker out there to go up by 3 scores..shut up

A lot of work for next week
At least Moline has shown himself to be a viable option for this rushing offense. Too bad the other RBs didn’t show much in this game. The offensive line will be key. They need to stop committing so many stupid penalties time and time again. The offense really needs to step it up for next week. If the defense plays like they did today, sc will be in a world of hurt. Their “fans” will turn on them very quick.
