It’s almost time for the biggest non-conference game of the Chip Kelly era. If you’re like me, you’re already at the game. Last week, the attendance was on the weak side. Today, LSU is bringing 20,000 fans with them. In fact, I saw four busloads of Tiger fans as I drove the 210 Freeway on my way here.
We all know that Bruin fans invented social distancing, but I hope that trend ends today. Of course, our game thread is here for everyone. Join your fellow Bruins fans discussing today’s game, and if you happen to be at the Rose Bowl, hopefully, you have a strong enough signal to join in on the conversation.
Let’s look at the game time weather forecast.
Game Time Weather Forecast
It’s going to be another HOT one at the Rose Bowl this afternoon. I’m glad that my seats will be in the shade by the time we get to them.
As far as the temperature goes, expect it to be about 91° degrees at kickoff. With a 5:30 kickoff, it will
And, because it’s a later kickoff, it will cool off as the game goes on. The temperature should be about 85° around halftime and it may even drop under 80° by the fourth quarter.
Listen to the Game With TMB!

Kickoff time? Not 5:30 pacific?
Thereabouts, yeah... they're making us wait I'm not sure why -_-
Edit: there's a timer on tv saying 9 minutes til game
are we back to respectability? We win tonight, we will be ranked tomorrow!!!
Yes- but let’s take care of business first we have a lot of ball left- but hoping!
I can’t stand Ed Orgeron. Send him back ro the swamp with an L.
Kickoff! let's go, Bruins!!
Dulcich has got to hold on to those!!
Tis the season…I’m in an ice rink in VT and have crappy service and can’t stream. Following with my TMB fam to start. Go Bruins!!
Knee was down
Unlike Melsby…Mfin bs grrrr
LOL <sob>
Man up!
Beautiful 37 yard throw to wide open streaking Kaz Allen
DTR sacked, putting us out of FG range. had to punt
Good special teams play-- they fumbled and barely recovered on the 10
Never going to escape running backwards
How’s attendance looking?
Okay, it is packed!!
Great individual defensive play by Quantrezz!
3rd down! Let's go, Defense!!!
LSU strip-sacked, but they recovered. Punting
Nice D!
Great sweep by Charbonnet!! Can't believe he found the lanes he did!
Kelly called a qb keeper on 3rd and 1, but their corner was fast and easily tracked DTR down.
Not sure I would run that play against these two corners; hasn't Kelly seen tape??
Exactly! He's so hard to take down, woulda got the 1 yd easily
We aren’t playing Hawai’i. Serious athletes for LSU.
Trips right last time, now showing trips left
Mucho love for all the updates and play by play, baller.
I'm trying but they won't slow down for me!! LOL
Lol. No worries. Maybe Ben Howland can jumó in with a TO from time to time ;-D
If only the Caretaker hadn't lost his way.. <sigh>
So far they got first downs on us with underneath passes, most recently to their rb; always right in front of LBs
Setting back too far for this QB!
I like our running defense so far.
Beautiful!! We had 3 DL in his face within seconds of the hike!! Sweet!! Go, ,D!!!
Yo!
Sack!!
Dam, it looks nice in SoCal!
It was 99 today in the Valley
^^ This!! ^^
Home field advantage, right?
Planning?
So I heard, We barely broke 60.
Brown lowered his shoulder on that run and absolutely stunned the LSU LB!! He honestly looked hurt
Stupid penalty after the punt? Need to clean that up.
Hate to say it, but DTR is struggling a bit in this game.
Again.
He wasn’t real sharp last week. But he usually needs a couple weeks to get dialed in.
He’s only been able to throw it twice. One was caught and ruled incomplete and the other was perfect.
Of course, as I just posted above, part of it is that this secondary is pretty f'n talented! Not giving him great looks
So far, this LSU secondary is no joke!
DTR isn’t faster than their D.
At least DTR isn’t throwing stupid passes. That is a positive change and sign.
True so far.
So it DTR is going to pass 8 times in this game?
LSU's LB's are fast but soft. Gotta take advantage of that.
First quarter over, and it's a draw
Our defense is playing great. Just need to get going offensively.
D played great that last play; QB had nowhere to throw it and had to run
Another pass underneath for a first down
We blazed on that last play and left corner 1 on 1, and LSU made us pay
* blitzed
Think we may be giving up a lil too much cushion again; they keep killing us with the short pass
we're too scared
LSU is bigger and faster. We will need to start moving the ball or it could get ugly. A big difference in athleticism.
LSU RT helped off the field, limping
Great defensive play again with Q Knight!!!
Shit!! That TD pass was too damn easy -_- not good D on that one
They adjusted. We need to move the ball.
