BN Gameday: Oregon State Second Half Thread

PrintWell at the end of the first half the score is 7-7. Guess there are positive points to take in from first half. Richard Brehaut essentially shared all the arguments against him for not being good enough to run his offense. He came out and calmly led the Bruin to a TD by showing off his wheels (at the half he has 47 yards and 1 TD in 10 rushing attempts and also complete 4 of 6 for 50 yards. Bruins went up by a score of 7-0. The Beavers tied up the score thanks to sloppy tackling and pathetic zone defense from Chuck Bullough's unit.
Perhaps the Bruins could have had a lead at half time. However, Rick Neuheisel showed off his Terry Donahue genes by making the wimpy decision to settle for FG towards the end of first half. He decided to play it safe with Forbath who promptly missed the FG. Thanks to inspired performances of Jordan Zumwalt and Dietrich Riley the Bruins are in the game with a chance to win it. Let's hope they can get it done in the second.
GO BRUINS.

Was Auburn's opponent today NAIA??
I can’t even find the Chattanooga Mocs here: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/standings?div=ia
Nope
They’re NCAA FCS (Div. I-AA):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Tennessee_at_Chattanooga#Athletics
this game only cements my poor opinion of the coaching staff
And the myriad of bad decisions all season and in this game. Prince playing so many games, All these freshmen d players rotting on the bench when they are clearly better than the guys who were starting over them, Norm calling plays where Bre has to throw in the pocket, even though there is zero protection from our line, and he needs to roll out Field goals when we need touchdowns, running plays when we need big yards, etc, etc.
turned on stanford/arizona...not even sold out at the farm...wow,...and they have a decent team
what’s their excuse?
when has this staff ever been aggressive?
we have a 30+ game set of data. I am not expecting an outlier here.

thanks
i just got home and saw the highlight…why wasn’t this kid playing earlier?
He might have made a mistake
And not making mistakes is more important than making plays to this coaching staff.

I can understand Zumwalt not playing
because Larimore was great, but not getting our best players on the field is mind boggling. At the same time, you can see the potential we have down the road
If Bullough had imagination
He’d move Dye to Corner and insert Riley into the starting line. We made that suggestion weeks ago.
Just Want To See Us Come Out AGGRESSIVE In 2nd Half
Hard to imagine that Riley and Zumwault have been setting the tone for our “D” but it’s the truth.

chuck b
if anyone wonders why someone his age with his family connections never got a serious football job before us, this is why. The guy is the fredo of the Bulllough family
So why wasn't he playing in the first half?
Instead a very slow Coleman got all the carries after Jet Ski fumbled.

I know this can't actually be true
but it sure does look like Chow is developing game plans that play against Brehaut’s strengths.
straight up the middle on 2nd and 15
Okay Dorrell, time to take off the Neuheisel mask…
After watching Brehaut today
I don’t think I have any more faith in Chow. I have no idea what he was watching during practices.
Brehaut's like:
I’m taking this in myself
by Westwood is the best wood on Nov 6, 2010 5:57 PM PDT reply actions
I never criticize specific play calls
but I will say based on the totality of the evidence this year, Chow needs to go. The game has passed him by. His playcalling is garbage and his player evaluation is weak.
Called on the incorrect team
On the other hand, what else would you expect from SPTR’s?
formerly bruinhoo
Where the fuck is the penalty?
We’re getting every BS call on us, but their guy spears Brehaut helmet-to-helmet and there’s no call?
Same ol’ bullshit from f**king retarded Pac-10 referees.
Norm doesn't want Bre to show him up
so he is making sure that it doesn’t happen.
by silverlakebruin on Nov 6, 2010 6:00 PM PDT up reply actions
What? He's not Kevin Prince
Don’t you realize Kevin Prince is our only hope? Brehaut is so bad that even with only one leg he is a way better choice than Brehaut.
by silverlakebruin on Nov 6, 2010 6:02 PM PDT up reply actions
My main reason for being doubtful of Brehaut
Was just that…that Norm couldn’t possibly be so ignorant that he would keep going with KP every week even after it became clear that he wasn’t that good. I guess I was wrong.
finally a flag
These Pac-10 QBs are dropping like flies, because the refs aren’t doing enough to protect them and send a message to defenses
Way to go offense
THAT’S how you run the pistol.
Time to see some playmakers
on D.
BRING IT!
Damn - That Drive Had A Little Bit Of Everything
Nice running by Jet Ski, Brehaut; mixed in with a little SPTR bullshit. Still, got 7 out of the deal. Nice!!
Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

We just need to stick with an overall identity on O and D
and stop playing like a completely different team every week! ARGH
Based on the evidence so far
Going into next year, our depth chart should look like:
QB1: Richard Brehaut
QB2: Kevin Prince
QB3: Darius Bell
Hopefully, if everyone stays healthy, we can redshirt Hundley, let him learn the offense and get up to speed and groom him to take over when Brehaut graduates.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves
I’d be happy with him being Drew Olson.
If RB can execute the fake handoff consistently
Like he did on the called back TD, he should start always.
Kareem!
That’s some nice MOJO. Gotta win this one.
He is a man, not a child
and hence can choose his own name.
And his choice should be respected.
by silverlakebruin on Nov 6, 2010 6:06 PM PDT up reply actions
Reference to the fact that
His name while at UCLA was Lew Alcindor. Obviously I respect his name change.
I'm not calling you out
but that type of stuff with Kareem and Ali was often used as a veiled form of racism.
I’m sure you don’t mean it that way, but that’s what it meant to many back then.

This defense
Is playing with different energy and emotion. It has to do with number 12.
Norm Chow cost us a win against KSU and a chance against Cal.
Think we would have
beat zona with a QB who had all that game experience.
by littlebrother on Nov 6, 2010 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions
Not sure what would have happened in those games as far as outcome
but it is clear to anyone with half a brain that playing an injured prince over Brehaut was just plain stupid.

I don't think Barr can play better than our current RBs
But BlueReign is right in that the coaches can use him in better ways.
Too worried
About his next appointment with Prince’s dad.
by Westwood is the best wood on Nov 6, 2010 6:13 PM PDT up reply actions
Its not Norm's fault
the players don’t know how to do things they aren’t good at, so Norm is going to make them repeat them until they get it right.

We should have been feelin’ this all year long!

“J. Hekker punt. T. Embree returned punt for no gain” -— that same play has been repeated 4 times

Did the Texas game get wiped from the record books or something?

QB!
We have our man at quarterback ladies & gentleman!! It has taken a while but we finally have one. A qb that can run & pass at UCLA?! It looks like Christmas for me has come early!!!!
I'm seeing caught passes by UCLA players...
… this feels new for this season. Might have something to do with the QB. Hmm.
Go Bruins!
so for the first half of the season
is the anemic passing game due to the receivers or KP?
probably both

It Was
Takes some of the sting out the disappointing result of what was shaping up to be a great drive.

Great, great blitz
Good things happen when you blitz
Embree the eternal butterfingers
At least he has an excuse
Disagree
they are going to stack the box and use their time outs. You have to go for the first down and take what they give you.
This is not a gimmee field goal, and they will get the ball with 2 plus minutes left if we don’t get a first down.
by silverlakebruin on Nov 6, 2010 6:37 PM PDT up reply actions
There is no excuse that we have Embree returning punts
What is so diffifcult to coach up Smith to return punts?
Time For RB To Shine & Win This Game
Great opportunity for him to step up and get some big-time confidence!

Play to score the TD
If you have to take the FG, you take it.
ARGH I could see this ending in a FG kicking game
Kai is graduating and we don’t know if the next FG kicker will be any good. Kai is rare commodity! WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM but we gotta play where the leading scorer is not the FG kicker!
hahaha you might wanna try that bet on another board.
i’d have guessed that in any offensive sitch :P
Go Bruins!
Don't like the playcalling
Not even Kai is automatic from 45.
Bad Hold
FUCK

thats why i disagreed on the conservative play call for field goals
you know they are going to stack the box, and we play for field goals.
They should be fired
The thing about playing conservative
It only makes sense if it actually works.
It hasn’t worked, so why keep doing it?
4th down
I am calling a fair catch + 3 kneel downs to take it to OT. Anyone care to bet against me?
formerly bruinhoo
we should be up by 14
and i think we would if our coaches had balls
I hope people stop bitching and whining
next time we hammer Neuheisel and Chow for being conservative.
CRN - Have you heard that the forward pass is NOW LEGAL?

So, this is what it's come to
Arguing over 1 second so we can get one play at the 30 and hope that Forbath doesn’t miss a third FG of the game.
This is not what I was hoping for at the start of the season.
He doesn't have to "redeem" himself
We’re asking a lot of him over and over.

Two evenly matched mediocre teams
who rely on their FG kicker to win the games. Don’t like the game plan. Like the win nevertheless.
Despite the coaching
we win.
Our dudes did battle tonight.
Big win
horrible offensive play calling, This will only reinforce Rick’s love of the field goal
I wonder how much having a good kicker leads the coaches to be conservative
Thinking “Well, we always have Kai to save us…”
by Westwood Wizard on Nov 6, 2010 7:08 PM PDT up reply actions
I can't remember
the last time we didn’t have a clutch kicker with a big leg and I’ve been watching Bruin football since I was 6 (1995).

I may be wrong
but even with his incredible career at UCLA, I think this is Kai’s first-ever game-winning FG.
his interview made it seem that way
honestly seems like we haven’t been in it close enough to the end of the game for there to be any game-winning FGs
Go Bruins!

2nd-Half D
After that absurdly bad, overly easy-looking, 80-yd TD drive to open the 2nd half, …
The much-maligned Bruin D held a fairly potent Offense to 4 straight 3 and outs, a total of NINE yards
Surprised!
I have to say that I was very surprised that CRN decided to move the ball down the field. I got up to use the wc and was shocked to not see us taking a knee at the end.
