Neuheisel's Gutty & Resilient UCLA Bruins Punch Tennessee For A Program Defining Win

Well ladies and gentleman we have got ourselves a football team.
I know what was going through my head when Tennessee got the ball with a chance to win the game. I was thinking back to that day when it all fell apart in South Bend, as Brady Quinn stuck a knife into Dorrell's future at UCLA.
Well times are different. On a night when Notre Dame suffered a bitter last second loss, UCLA finally put those demons from Dorrell era behind with a program defining win for Coach Rick Neheisel.
Bruins beat Tennessee in one of most memorable wins in the program's history. The final score was 19-15. Here is the boxscore.
Yes, last year's victory was euphoric. However, this is different. This was not a fluke. Bruins came out and took it right to the mighty Volunteers who were talking all week about last year being a fluke, and how they were going to beat us by 10 points. Well the Bruins proved them wrong. Not to mention I am going to be eating a lot of TASTY TASTY CROW tonight for not thinking our young guys are going to pull out a win.
However, it could have been even more convincing for the Bruins if not for some costly miscues and penalties. It doesn't matter thought. They fought, the punched, they got bloody, and the showed more heart a UCLA football team not seen since the days of Cade McNown.
There are so many heroes in this game. So much to discuss. We might as well just start the Rahim Moore for Heisman campaign, given all the hype we were barraged with on the greatness of Eric Berry. Berry is a great player but Moore is now on a journey (if he stays on course) to become one of the greatest Bruin defenders in the tradition of Easley and Turner. Moore once again put together a monster game with 2 picks and would had 3 if not for the homerrific SEC (how do you say that slowly again?) officials who seemed to be making terrible calls and giving Bruins bad spots all game long.
Kevin Prince didn't have a flashy game. He completed 11 of his 23 passes for 101 yards and threw for a gutty touchdown while being taken down. However, there is something he didn't do that was huge. He didn't throw a pick.
Bruins also got key runs from Franklin and Knox who showed more great promises for the future and huge kicks from Forbath and Locke. Oh and then it was our defense who sucked it up and throttled the Volunteers near the goaline and then shut them down in their last drive.
I am too emotionally numb to put my post game thoughts in a coherent manner. It's a night to celebrate and it's a night to sing that fight song. If you have extensive thoughts and takes you want to share, fire them up in the fanposts.
Meanwhile, let's get the party started my friends. Yes, we are just getting started because we are going to have more moments like this in both the short term and the long term in the Neu era of UCLA football
GO BRUINS.

too bad about that last BS offsides call
or Rahim could’ve had 3 picks AGAIN
Has there ever been a player better than Detlef Schrempf?

Offsides
I checked the replay over and over. NOBODY jumped offsides. The only possible offsides may be one of the ends was in the neutral zone, IF even that occurred. I sure didn’t see any refs throw the flag immediately when the play started.
by UCLA4Life on Sep 12, 2009 4:45 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Refs were unbelievable
I went back and watched it five times on the DVR. The flag seemed to be thrown from the opposite side of the field and coincided with the interception. It’s infuriating that the flag was only thrown because Tennessee was dead in the water.
When it was 4th and 1 at the UCLA 33 with 5 minutes left there was NO WAY that guy got to one yard beyond the first down. The spots during the fourth quarter were unbelievably bad. They didn’t call obvious holds by the Tennessee line during the 4th quarter.
Now I know the Vegas line for this game opened at Tennessee -10 and moved to Tennessee -7.5 by Tuesday but GOD DAMN! You can’t make it that obvious when you’re trying to give Tennessee the game.
The refs gave Tennessee more chances to win this game than they ever deserved and it shows how well the Bruins played today. Still it took luck to overcome the BS.

The only way....
I too replayed that down many times on the DVR. The right CB was not in the picture. If he was offside, it wouldn’t have been on the screen. No other player was offside. Naturally, our favorite network didn’t show any replays. Also, they didn’t cover the review of the safety, you onl;y got the word from the background noise. Just wonderful…

They were utterly ridiculous.

How about reviewing their reviews! It took them 5 second to confirm the safety and 10 minutes to decide on the non fumble.

What game were YOU watching…. Obviously not the same one we were ALL watching… We were getting horse sh…t (as Nue said) calls by the SEC crack heads… And we still won, no matter what, we did play better, we were the better team. Our D held your crappy Offense for 2 1/2 quarters without a score, or did your DRV stop recording… Because I know I saw that….. We don’t have to win pretty as long as we win… Prince didn’t have any picks, how many did Crapton have???? hummm should have been 3 but he got away with 2…Everyone said we wouldn’t win at Ole Rocky Top but I’m sorry we wanted it more and we got it… So sorry take your lemons and go make some lemonaid, you’ll need it… Go BRUINS!!!!

Hmm
Kind of sounds like a guy who used to hang out on our sideline, and was more interested in reading what looked like the Denny’s menu than looking at the game. I don’r remember that guy. In fact, I think I was in a coma for five years. But it sounds to me like Lame may have learned football at the knee of CTS than at the knee of Cheatie Petie. (No question, though, about who taught Lame about violating rules.)

You make fun,
but consider the content of said playcard. For example:
Homestyle Meatloaf Two slices of classic meatloaf, grilled and covered in our brown gravy. Served with your choice of two sides and dinner bread
Or
Country-Fried Steak Two golden-fried chopped beef steaks smothered in rich country gravy. Served with your choice of two sides and dinner bread.
Can’t blame lame, though Vols fans may well take up the blame-lame blame game. He was hungry.

Bruins redshirt freshman Kevin Prince was hardly spectacular, completing 11 of 23 for 101 yards with a TD.
But here’s the number that matters: Zero.
As in interceptions.

9 penalties called on UCLA for 70 yards.
2 for UT for 10 yards.
Has anybody figured out when that offsides flag was even thrown? Was it when the interception occurred or when he was running it back for a pick-6, cause it sure wasn’t thrown when offsides are normally called.

1. UT fans, for the most part, seem pretty classy. There are a lot of jerks who are still talking big, about how they deserved to win, how they were the better team, how Crompton gifted us the game. To those haters, stop being so bitter. Also, Craft gave you more picks that JC did in this game, and we still won in our house. And, to make it worse, the refs did everything they could to give UT the game, and you still lost. In other words, STFU.
2. The refs were terrible. I can’t count on both hands the number of BS calls. Every tick-tack technical foul they could call on us, they did. I don’t recall seeing a flag on UT. And that’s not because UT is some disciplined, well-coached team (the words well-coached and Lamey will never be seen together in the ame sentence). It’s because the refs bent over and tried to hand UT the game. Like when girly-man JC got hit and then started waving his hands for the late hit flag on Ayers. Only after he started crying like a girl did he get the flag. That’s pathetic. Or the offsides call to rob Moore of his third pick? Watch the replay. I don’t see anyone offsides. That was some blatant BS. Seeing where Lamey learned his trade, I wouldn’t be shocked if you saw a few money transfers between his bank account and whichever jokers were pretending to be “fair referees.”
3. We had a lot of mistakes and we still hung on to win in hostile territory. For example, Austin dropped an open pass when there was no one between him and the pylon. 3 points instead of 7 points is huge. I love this team’s heart and determination to win.
4. ESPN needs to get people who actually know how to read numbers when calling a game. Learning to read a roster would help too. I love XSF and the love they gave him, but where was the love for the true freshman lining up right next to him: Hasiak?! Seriously, ESPN, get with it.
5. My day has been money so far. Man Utd put Tottenham to the sword 3-1, being down a man after Paul “I Still Can’t Properly Slide Tackle” Scholes got red-carded. UCLA beat UT in their house, shutting Lamey and his U$C cronies up. I also had a pretty good week at work, which is pretty nice. I like the Buckeyes’ chances tonight given my personal hotstreak.
6. I am concerned about our lack of DT depth. The backups stepped up when they had to on that 4th and G situation near the end of the game with Price on the sideline. But there is a noticable drop-off when Price had to sit. That’s an area of focus I hope CRN is working on with his recruiting.
7. Rahim Moore is the man. He will play on Sundays. Enough said.
8. We are all pretty excited. I’m sure our players are euphoric right now. And they’re a young team, which has me very concerned. They need to stay grounded and gear up for KSU, just as they did for UT. If we think we’ll handle KSU without a problem, it could be an ugly day for us.
9. The SEC is overrated. Florida is legit, but after watching Georgia lose to Oklahoma State (also overrated, as shown today), and us beating UT, I just want to make clear to all those slack-jawed SEC circle-jerkers: OVERRATED.

i dont see how florida rates anything at all. they’ve had two bye weeks. i wont be terribly surprised if Tennessee beats them. As long as they’ve been good they have been squeaking by on a lot of close wins. I think they will lose three games this year, just because their luck is due to run out.

How soon does he realize how hard it is to win without paid players. Anyway…
Obviously a great win. I have to admit, I thought we would be good against the run but never that good. Have no idea how many yards they racked up, its irrelevant, we stopped them enough times to win. The only touchdown came off the fumble deep in ou territory, other than that, nothing. Prince played well enough to win and thats all that matters. I think we can stop worrying about opposing fat offensive linemen for the rest of the season, size doesnt matter. Speaking of linemen, poor Hasiak needs to learn how to block downfield, eh?
All in all, such an awesome game. Great coaching, great heart by the team, great composure under pressure. Have to believe its an indescribale stepping stone/learning experience for the young guys. Go Bruins!

Agreed.
This game could have easily been a loss. We still had some tough snaps, from fumbles to pocket breakdowns by our still young (although talented) O-line. Depth and injuries can still be a factor, so knock on all the wood you can.
This is still a foundation-building year. Growth is more important than glory.
That being said, this win is worth savoring… and learning from, too.

After all the boasts
about Tennessee winning by 10 around here, I can’t help but feel completely vindicated.
Both teams offenses were not good today and the 63-7 beatdown of St. Mary’s School of the Blind ultimately meant nothing about the capabilities of Tennessee’s offense (thank you Jonathon Crompton).
The defenses played exceptional (almost as expected). Why would UT win by 10 considering the strength of both teams were the defenses? Double digit victories require a solid offense, and it’s still funny to me that the WKU victory made them believe they had one.

You’re right. But the predictions people made were not based on UCLA holding down Tennessee and the Vols getting a late pick 6 to win by ten. Touchdowns for interceptions are not exactly common when you look at how many happen per defensive play.
My comments above are still largely true. The point being: a team needs to score points on offense to make valid assumptions about double digit victories.

Biggest since 13-9
This win gave us an unmeasurable boost in recruiting. Tenn is a legit program in the SEC, and it was a nationally televised game. Every recruit in the nation saw that game. Everyone in the nation saw the passion bucket on display. Simply amazing!
Something definitely scared me though. I know Price is a solid guy (his build), and seems to have already shown us that he has the heart of a lion, but he takes way too many unneccesary hits. Turning it up the side line into a sea of orange & white twice, when you could easily step out of bounds. Not smart. And the safety, oops, sorry, “safety” should have never happened. Either a TE or a FB was open, and he even had time to thrown it away, but took the sack anyway. I love his grit, and he had great control of the game today, but self preservation has got to be on his short list of priorities this season, because as Prince goes, so will our boys.
Like you said Nestor, the tastiest crow ever! I predicted us losing this one too. I know we should take it one game at a time but…oh nevermind! What a start to the season! Go Bruins!!!

No offense to large crowds or to the SEC

I’ve had enough about how huge crowds are sooooo intimidating and how the SEC is soooo intimidating.
Yes, the SEC is very, very good and has a more impressive history than any other conference, at least in the last 10 years or so. The numbers don’t lie.
And yes, big crowds are awesome. And they can make a difference.
But obviously, neither factor means everything. The hype is just so overdone at times.

Hey M
I don’t want to bring down the mood of the thread, but he’s actually been going through a pretty tough time the last few days. Unfortunately, he’s got pretty severe graft versus host disease where the donor immune cells are treating his body as foreign and attacking it. Among his many symptoms is that his eyelids are so inflammed so as to be completely swollen shut. So since Thursday, he hasn’t been able to see anything.
He is doing a little bit better today tho with regards to some of his other symptoms. He asked me to watch the game in the room w/ the volume off, but only tell him about it after it was over (b/c he didn’t want to deal w/ the stress during the game). He was pretty happy to hear we won and said he knew that if were going to win, our defense was going to have a big game. Although, I do have to admit that I embellished the story a bit when discussing our INTs and didn’t mention that some of those throws were just awful. :)

Just back from an event, and ready to watch the game on Tivo (with the sound off, of course.)
Great job by all concerned. The critical numbers are the the points, and we got more than they did. When it was time to do the job, our guys did the job.
I think my contribution to the BN will be to stay out of game day threads while the game is on. There is a certain mojo factor at work here, and I’m not about to blow it.
I pointed out several months ago, that we only play one game a week, so all we really need to do is to win one stinkin’ game a week. That’s all. If we just win one stinkin’ game a week, we’ll have a good record at the end of the year. So far, I am happy to say that the team has taken my advice. Just one stinkin’ game a week.

OSU taking the sack and moving out of FG range. I thought the punt was the right play IF they could play D.
Forbath is an incredible weapon. If we were in this position, I’d have confidence we need only get into range for a 50 yrd field goal.

My sense is neither is as good as ranked — Cal will beat SC, and we will play them tough and stand a chance of beating them — because it’s such an emotional game.
Actually, I’m not sure who is good this year. Go Houston beating Ok State U.

If you’re at home, you don’t just SETTLE for field goals on TWO 4th and goal situations. That’s about as bad as CTS calling for a punt from $C’s own 42-yd-line or whatever it was.
Tressel and the Bucs had $C on its heels, but played NICE.

Buckeyes didn't even bother to wrap this gift
The Buckeye defense and coaches graciously invited the Trojans to tour the whole field on that drive. tOSU doesn’t have the heart or creativity to win the big ones, with uninspired conservative defense at the end and a lackluster offensive game plan throughout. (Tressel must have a little KD strand in his DNA) The foibles of two OSUs today (perennial also-ran Oklahoma State being the other) will keep U$C firmly in the title hunt.
Brett & Kirk have a disturbing crush on that beautiful freshman qb. Please spare us from four years of that blather! Give the Trojans credit, though, they usually get the job done in the end. They will string together more wins before they have to face our emerging Bruins…a team that may actually have the killer instinct tOSU lacks.

They couldn’t even get a first down in the end, with a lead and they let a true frosh QB (I don’t care who he is) beat them on their own turf. What a joke. Not surprised those pricks from across town won. I’m not that impressed though, they’ll lose a couple games this year…. Barkley is good but it’s not like he really kicked ass tonight…. Ohio State lost this game more than U$C won… Cal will beat $C, and I’d say Washington (under Sarkesian) has a chance next week, not to mention, our own Bruins.

pac-10 hang together
UCLA fans should be glad USC pulled it out. You have to root for the PAC-10, regardless, when the game is out of conference. That’s because the only way to get to No. 1 is to beat USC when they are No. 1. Otherwise you end up with all these SEC freaks installing whatever team scratches to the top of their neanderthal league in the championship game. I doubt USC will run the table. They are too young and when they get conservative on offense their run can be stopped. The Bruins had a great win against a flawed Tenn. team. I think Crompton may end up getting 2 coaches fired before he is through.

I Had TICKETS!
AAAAUUURRGH, what I wouldn’t have given to be there. But, I ended up coming out to WA to help out my parents this week, so I’m watching this game on DVR right now. Your game thread comments are wonderful, fellow BN’ers, truly.
Last year, I was in WA when we played TN, too. (Hmmmmm.)
I haven’t finished watching the whole game, but I am so impressed with ATV, Prince’s toughness, and our team’s COACHING!!
Love My Bruins

#1?
If suc is somehow ranked #1 on Nov. 28, it will make it that much sweeter when we break their hearts just like ’06.

On This Whole "We Should Always Support PAC-10 Teams, Even USC' Thing
My Take: Ummm…NAW.
They CHEAT. By definition, right-thinking people do not support CHEATERS.

Ladies and gentleman, EASt coast bias exists. F**k SC, but we still don’t want Ohio St to beat them.
Patience, they will get worked in the pac-10.

And, Again, They CHEAT
A USC win is NOT a PAC 10 win, it is a win for all cheaters, liars, smug arrogant rule-breakers.
I, for one, do not want our Conference to be defined by these character traits, at any cost. No title won by USC is legitimate, they are a black mark upon the other nine teams.
Love My Bruins
