The kickoff against the Beavers is scheduled for 12:30 pm PST. Our game thread is going up around 12:15 pm PST. So we have another Saturday morning to take in some other football action while getting ready for the Bruins (while hanging out with Ms. Mary and Mimosas).
In early action today notable games include Notre Dame's visit to Pittsburgh, which I guess is now ACC "country." UNC Tar Heels are taking on Georgia Tech, which could be interesting. It is always fun to watch Paul Johnson's offense. George is taking on Ole Miss in the SEC edition of the "Hot Seat Bowl." The game between Temple Owls and Maryland could also be worth keeping an eye on.
If you haven't had a chance, take a look at our BN pick'em thread here. You can also check out our Oregon State previews here and here.
So if you are watching other games today, share your quick takes, observations or pre-game nervous musings, here is our open thread. Have fun.
GO BRUINS.

Anyone know what channel it’s on in norcal? i have crappy comcast…
I am getting it in usual Fox Sports West channel
Which comes in my Comcast package here in DC.

Yep
Cal game is on regular Comcast network. If you have the Fox college sports package you should get our game on channel designated for the West.

Good to be back.
Cautiously optimistic today.

I'll be at the game today
Road tripping to Corvallis. If Rick doesn’t start Brehaut I’m running onto the field, tackling him, and serving the mandatory jail time.
Also, since I’m watching them now: does any college football team make more dumb mistakes at bad times than Notre Dame?
ND has been interesting
This is much hyped Brian Kelly’s second season. What is interesting about the game is how Pitt D is bringing pressure showing many different looks.
You won’t have to tackle Rick. Bre is starting.

Pitt D Gave Iowa Fits Last Week In Iowa City
Still don’t know how my alma mater came back to win that one in the 4th quarter.
Typical Iowa football – living dangerously.

Temple is thumping Maryland.
Their head coach, Steve Addazio, was villified at Florida last season when they continued to run the “Tebow” style read option with a pro style QB and their offense suffered.
I doubt Temple has the horses that Florida had, but Addazio is running the same offense and it is workign with the personnel Temple has. A credit to Addazio get the most of what he has to fit his system.
Wish UCLA was able to do the same.
Temple lost a heart breaker against PSU last weekend
Obviously Golden gets massive credit for building a solid foundation and Addazio picking up right where he left off.
And BTW
Temple’s DC is none other than Chuck Heater, one of the names mentioned during our DC search last year.
Heater was Florida's DB coach and Addazio brought him to Temple.
I know a lot about the Gators, considering how much I hate them . . .

All the more reason to question the current regime
Tell me how the fuck Temple has a better coaching staff than UCLA?!

What's interesting to me
Is how these defenses are bringing in pressure. I referred to the Pitt game.
There was one series in which Pitt rushed one of their LBers from the end, but then dropped another one off into coverage. So they basically had 4 guys rushing the QB but because they mixed it up ND OL looked confused.
I actually saw Niners defense do the same against the Cowboys last weekend (gah! – before they choked). The D just rushed 4 but because they were bringing it from different angles it messed up the O. These concepts/schemes don’t seem all that radical but just a matter of the coaches throwing different templates.
I just wonder why we can’t see that from our guys.
Zone blitz
Usually involves the DE dropping back into pass coverage in the zone the LB would normally cover. The QB sees the LB coming and thinks the LB’s zone is uncovered, only to find a very large man there for the pick.

Domination on D Today.
Can’t believe Maryland beat Miami.
“Temple Tough” is Addazio’s slogan this year. They are.

Hey Nestor ...
as I’m watching Michigan I’m starting to worry that DG would actually try and hire Al Borges to replace Neu — you know, the UCLA connection thing.
Even DG isn’t that insane, is he?
Funny, I thought the same thing
when they showed Borges up in the booth.

Love Ed Hochuli
The guy is more ripped than most of the players.
Also, his bad call screwed San Diego and gave Denver a win a few years back. Besides the semi-guilty joy of that game for the Chargers misery and the Broncos win, Hochuli manned up and admitted afterward he blew the call and apologized. It didn’t change the outcome of the game, and the stupid Chargers still won the division, so I guess it all turned out right in the end.

Hochuli is an NFL legend . . .
He just needs to kiss those guns after making the penalty gesture.

ND...
After going for the punt block and getting a roughing the kicker call ND let Pitt drive all the way down the field.
Mike Riley:
On UCLA’s defense: They have done a nice job mixing some things up. They’ve hit us with some timely blitzes that have hurt us in the past. The biggest problem we’ve had is being able to sustain anything throughout the game. We’ve had our moments offensively where we’ve made some plays and looked good but it’s never been one of those games where it has been easy and to count on stuff and sustain things. They’ve basically controlled us in the past with their defense.
ocregister.com/ucla
Adam Maya, columnist/writer for the OCRegister gives our Bruin 3 stars and OSU 2 stars. PREDICTION: UCAL, 27-20.
We got to win in a hurry so let’s win today.
CRN, Richard Brehaut will be on his game toay and for the remaining season.
It has been a long campaign already. Neu my choice has always been “RB”.
Go Bruins

not sure if anyone is watching pregame on Prime Ticket
Rick was talking about the offense, got to the running backs:
“We have a good 1-2 punch at running back – it seems to bother people less than the 1-2 punch we have at quarterback”
Glad to see him maintaining a sense of humor – albeit gallows humor – amid it all. Really hope he can keep his head up and turn things around.
Mimosas
I need to incorporate that into gameday beverages. I’m confident the wife would actively participate. Go Bruins!

I have a feeling
That Jet Ski is going to have over 125 yards and 2 touchdowns. And Shaq Evans gets a touchdown today.
BYU got humilated by their arch rival
I want to see us rebound like them. If the team doesn’t come out understanding that this is a must win and take care of business, this season is toast
What we shoul do
We SHOULD be able to take it to O State today. A win is a win, and that’s most important but I’m looking for 14 points or more. That will show progress. We’re better pretty much at every position.
Go bruins!
I'm in a lose-lose situation...
the president of the school I teach at is a Beaver. Ah, well…
GO BRUINS!
My two favorite teams are UCLA and whoever is playing $C.

Am supposed to get DirectTV soon but still stuck with Scamcast and the Fox channel here is showing the Twins game.
And the Twins suck this year.

I don't know if anyone else is up...
But I am loving this 4th quarter of the ASU vs $C game!! A turnover by Barkley and obvious Sun Devil dominance is a great way to end a Saturday.
