PrintUCLA Bruins at Kansas St. Wildcats, Sep 4, 2010 12:30 PM PDT
Let's get it.
Last time these same Bruins went into a crazy football atmosphere out of conference things turned out just right. Lots of questions around our team which we have gone over again and again. At this point nothing left to do except hope number 3 leads the team to more inspiring moments.
If you still need to get caught up on all of our notes concerning this game from last few weeks, you can do so by checking out our full coverage here. If you are looking to track the game online you can also keep your tabs open to the official site and WWL.
So ready or not, here come the Bruins in 2010. Let's get this game thread started. Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

I love this year's. I've been around a long time and this is closer to what the guys used to wear.
I think we’re all partial to the way things were when we became bruins.
Go Bruins!
I liked last year's away jersey much better
And today’s jerseys are exactly like the ones they wore when I went to school.
it’s a shame they changed them back.
Yes, I have a problem

How do you keep your remotes in order?
Otherwise, I think you have a very excellent problem.

All day to throw and into like quadruple coverage ugh!!!
Stop Thomas Please
by deejayelleseven on Sep 4, 2010 1:01 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
If there are four guys covering one guy ...
Somebody is either wide open or has only one guy covering. Hope Prince isn’t locking in and not seeing the rest of the field.
It was a decent throw
But tough coverage. Should be able to find someone more open.

We’re just getting outhit right now.

Not to second guess the coach, but how confident are you when your QB hasn’t practiced in the past month.

Diving at Thomas' ankles
Isn’t the way to do it
bruin ball
yessssssssssssssssssssssss, cmon. let’s go
hmmm
We look so one dimensional on offense. Wish we could do some quick outs or slants. Prince needs to calm down and get those throws under control. But he has much more zip on them this year. He’s going to be good. Let’s go bruins, get through this. Buckle down defense!
by westwood12003 on Sep 4, 2010 1:05 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
One dimensional?
We started pro set (would have had first downs) if not for two drops. We then switched to revolver … got a first down … and could have had a first down. Our playcalling is not the issue. We need to execute.
your right
All my nerves are getting to me. Lets execute
by westwood12003 on Sep 4, 2010 1:11 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Yup
Missing open receivers, dropping passes, throwing into triple coverage and false start penalties are not on the playcalling. If we get up to speed we can definitely move the ball on these guys.
by britishbruin on Sep 4, 2010 1:15 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
absolutely
Nope you guys are spot on. My bad. I guess my thoughts were more out of frustration then what the real issue is. Execution. Limit penalties and catch the ball. We can get down field and I know we will. Lets go bruins! Lets get some positive energy going.
by westwood12003 on Sep 4, 2010 1:18 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions

I picked B. to start over P
Because I thought Prince would be rusty and the coaches would realize that they need Prince NEXT week against Stanford. I am not convinced they made the right choice. (And long term I do think Prince is better.)
Hope to see Malcolm Jones next time on offense.

Bruins Looking Very Jittery on the Offense so far
Defense is stiffening, but too many untimely penalties … need to clean up our act.

We will settle down
young team in experience.
Will take a bit of time. Maybe this game, mabye nexet. We will get there this year.
sjh
too much like last year
Weak offense with lots of mistakes, while defense gives up too many yards, but causes a fumble (which offense cannot capitalize on). Prince looks tentative to me. Hopefully, just first game jitters on the road, but I fear all those injuries and inexperience are taking a toll. That would explain the poor execution.
Great coverage by Thigpen
KSU to start on their 5.
It is huge for the D to keep them down there.
greg in denver - UCLA guy for life
sinking feeling in my gut.
too many 3 and outs. KSU is moving the ball well. ARGH. Ulcer in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1

Defensive turnovers
kept us in games last year. Maybe this year, it will be the key to getting that confidence, and then we can play well on both sides of the ball.
Too many penalties
That’s one area we absolutely had to improve on this year. Not good enough so far.

some drops
and a few poor throws by Prince, but it sure looks like our guys are open most of the time. OL doing ok in spite of inexperience. Nice runs mixed in.
I'm thinking the wind is deceptive
and having at our back is a huge advantage. Hope we have it at our back in the 4th.

Yup
Its all about sure hands right now. While Carroll/Thigpen are faster they haven’t shown sure hands in practices (from what I have gathered).
Ugh because Embree is not a return threat
What about Josh Smith?
nice defensive series now
how often have we blitzed today? Anyone counting? seems like pressure might work on Coffman.
Ayers is Everywhere
what a great player. Our D line is starting to get great penetration too.
UCLA '08
I guessed 1 first half TD
Please make me wrong.
Off to work. Will peek in when I can.
greg in denver - UCLA guy for life
Don't know
but one of the saddest moments of last year to me was when the ball was live on the field and he could not hear his team mates yelling to jump on it. We lost the ball and they scored.
sjh
Haven't seen a long TD run
since MJD was still wearing blue & gold. Maybe Franklin can spring loose today.
Not the OL fault. CB blitz that Prince should have adjusted to.

YES!!
That’s the deal – good pressure and reaction.
Weird play-calling
On both sides: Bruins could have run out the half and didn’t, then Coffman didn’t have the brains to throw the ball away. The D has really taken over, and the O-line is looking good, too.
So far
Not so bad, D looks good, offense for the most part gave KP plenty of time. 2 many dropped balls. Field goal B4 halftime!?!?

Lots of rust, but some great plays there. Still room to grow.

All In All
Not a bad 1st half. Gave up some 3rd down conversions early on that pissed me off but as the 1st half wore on, our “D” has asserted themselves.

our D has a good scheme right now
but we need to be wary of KSU adjustments. they will try m ore misdirection and throwing deep.
