And yes, it's great being a UCLA ugrad in 2006. And as for tomorrow, I'm taking my season tickets and going to go watch Howland and the boys take on UCR.

Callers are whining about not giving us credit...

AND the psotgame hsots are saying that we just punched the Trojans in the mouth, punched them again, hit them with combinations, and TOOK the game.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

THANK YOU BRUINS, from Coach Dorrell all the way down to the equipment guys and all the beautiful linemen and linebackers and defensvie backs and runnign abcks, and quarterbacks and receivers and kickers and gunners and trainers and all the way back up to the top with DeWayne Walker and everybody wearing even a shred of blue today!

GO BRUINS!!!!!

I have pasted the game stats from espn.com below. Notice that SC actually had about 100 more total yards over UCLA. If you recall, SC actually had better field position over the course of the game but they kept shooting themselves in the foot with stupid penalties which destroyed scoring opportunities.

Today's game shows where both teams need to improve. For the most part, UCLA still lacks a running game (only 55 yds.), and SC lacks the explosiveness that it had last year. (Booty was never able to deliver the breakaway pass, nor their runners the game breaking run.)  If I had to bet, I would think that Carroll might take a second look at Sanchez. It's interesting that I can't think a single special team play that made much of any difference in the game.

I must confess that as the game rounded the last few minutes, I was nervous that Dorrell was crawling back into the same cacoon that killed us against ND, but I guess the gods were with us this time.

All-in-all, despite the lack of razzle dazzle, it was one of the most engrossing games UCLA-SC games that I have witnessed. Maybe there is hope for Koach Karl--it was nice to see him really get into the game and to take an active part (tactically and emotionally) in the game.

It seemed unlikely that Guererro would dump Dorrell before this game. Now, it seems totally out the picture. Out of the fire of this season, Dorrell has grown, and maybe, we have actually found ourselves a coach.
