More photos from the UCLA vs U-dub game.

Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N

Telemachus already shared his great photoset from Saturday's game.  I'd definitely recommend checking that out if you haven't already.  I was on the opposite end of the stadium as he was, so I've got some shots from a different perspective.  Unfortunately, my view was obscured for the three biggest plays of the game (Helmet-to-helmet on Prince, Austin's td, and Moore's int) by either the fans in front of me or players on the sidelines.  I guess the only solution is that next game, I need to get front row seats.  Either that, or it's time for BN to utilize their SBN and AOL affiliations and start getting some media passes! 

Anyway, here's a sample of my shots from the day.

Gary Beban was the honorary captain of the game. I think he provided the offense with a lil' extra mojo: beban

The defense, as usual, was led by Brian Price and Rahim Moore: price_sideline

Early in the game, it was Kevin Prince to Nelson Rosario. This is becoming quite a nice combo.

A good sign that Prince is becoming comfortable with the offense: an audible!

Another good sign: spreading the ball around. This time, Prince finds Cory Harkey for an early touchdown

JetSki's first fumble of the game. This is becoming a bad habit. (I love the reactions of a few of the dance team members on this one.)

With Franklin's fumbles, it became running back by committee (tho Christian Ramirez was not invited to be a member of the committee). Here's Derrick Coleman finding some room to run.

Milton Knox got some carries and the offense got some variety with the Wildcat! (And look at the opposing DB respecting Kevin Craft's speed at wideout!)

For those who couldn't make the game, here's a little flavor of the sidelines:

#18 is a freshman linebacker. He's already learning that your eyes have to be everywhere:

Kevin Prince was a bit groggy after taking a helmet to helmet hit:

But a few minutes later, he let the fans know that he was doing ok:

While the defense was maligned early, eventually they started swarming to the ball:

Reggie Carter gets to Locker:

For some reason Wash abandoned the rush, and Locker found himself under a lot of pressure:

Here's the beginning of Austin's great catch. I didn't get the end b/c everyone in front of me started jumping up and down. Hopefully one of those 9 photographers in this frame stayed with the shot.

Another photograph that got away. The UCLA helmet belongs to Rahim Moore, who had just made the game winning interception. I'm only including this shot b/c I think it's funny that the police officer is cheering. I didn't know they were allowed to do that!

After the int, Rahim Moore gives thanks:

Rick Neuheisel finally gets a chance to give a victory speech again.

neuheisel_speech

One sidenote to the speech. A lot of Washington fans stuck around in the stadium just so they could boo Coach Neuheisel when he stepped up to the podium. And their voices were heard pretty loudly. Whether it's misguided or not, I admire their passion. I wish our fans would do the same anytime that Lavin announces one of our games. (I'm not saying that Neuheisel equals Lavin- only that I wish the fan response was similar.)

So that's what a victory looked like from my seats. I sure wouldn't mind seeing a few more of them.

Thanks so much

For sharing this. Great photos.

Really Really Nice photos

Your timing on alot of those was incredible. The one where Locker is tackled by Carter was called an incomplete pass. Hah. Your picture is proof that the knee was down as many of us in the game thread were saying.

Thanks loads

Great pictures. Amazing how fun it is to relive a win.

Your photo of #18 (Todd Golper?) taking in some of UCLA’s charms is classic.

I can't say that I blame him one bit.

Isn’t a linebacker always supposed to been keenly aware of his surroundings? And that frankly, that’s a pretty important part of anyone’s surroundings.

Great pics!

And I boo Lavin lustily from my TV everytime I see that fool.

Great pictures!

I wouldn’t have ever known CRN wore his vestie, in white! 8^D

I saw it

and wanted it. Put them up for sale, UCLA Store! The hubs would be cute in it.

Very nice!

I agree, we need to get some media passes. I’m tired of getting hassled by security about my camera!

Some great stuff

Thanks for letting me relive the game.

Great Pics!

Also nice to see Gary Beban still has his original jersey and didn’t have to wear a throwback.

by bru79 on Nov 9, 2009 10:04 AM PST reply actions  

Great pics

and great captions/commentary, too.

Those throwbacks look awesome. I feel like I’m looking at footage of vintage UCLA games everytime I see the throwbacks.

That picture of Carter tackling Locker...

…wasn’t that called a complete pass by the SPTRs?

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

by tasser10 on Nov 9, 2009 12:45 PM PST reply actions  

Oh, and

fantastic pictures! Thanks a lot!

And yes, it is awesome to see Gary Beban in his original jersey!

I don't think so

I believe he was called down or sacked on that one.

by Barnes2JJ on Nov 9, 2009 4:42 PM PST up reply actions  

Hmm

Not sure man. I think that’s one of two occasions when the refs. totally missed sack even though Locker was clearly down.

by Nestor on Nov 9, 2009 5:50 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah, I think it was ruled a pass

Although my recollection is that it went incomplete.

by insomniacslounge on Nov 9, 2009 5:59 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah

I think both of them were incomplete but we should have found ourselves in better situation with getting the sacks. Just couple of more reasons I wasn’t feeling a shred of guilt over any kind of questions around Austin’s TD catch (big ups to our special teams BTW for kicking the XP right away making the score official).

by Nestor on Nov 9, 2009 6:02 PM PST up reply actions  

I didn't think I could love our Dance Team anymore

but the fact that they actually know football? Good stuff!

Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.

by bruin8uclap on Nov 9, 2009 10:43 PM PST reply actions  

agreed

Good that they know a fumble is a BAD thing.
Unlike SUC ‘dance’ girls…cough cough… celebrating for the other team… twice… cough cough…

One of the many, many reasons I grew up a ucla fan, current ucla student, and a bruin forever.
