Except for Charbonet, this was a complete team loss. Bad special teams. Inconsistent and uninspired offensive efforts, and another total meltdown on defense. Hey D, when you have the QB on there run, you have to cover receivers for the entire play.
Bruins screwed themselves last night. Play like that against SC and it will be fugly and the bell will be painted red. I'm not even that upset by the loss. Just kind of expect it in the culture of "we sometimes play football while going $100M in the hole." There rose bowl is empty because of the product on the field. The entire night felt like the team going through there motions and couldnt be bothered to compete. That's not a team I can cheer for. Bruins football, go watch some Bruins basketball... Learn how to work.
The usc game is honestly the big indicator of this being a successful season or not.
I think if oregon beats utah then ucla also still has a shot at the conference championship if they beat usc, cus theyd have wins over washington utah and usc at that point, as long as utah gets to two conference losses.
Ah yes, even in this era you still have to play some defense. The mediocre D finally comes home to roost on a night when the offense can't stay in gear. I'm not sure what was funnier, our D-line and backers chasing de Laura or our db's chasing their wide receivers. There will probably be a lot more red in the Bowl this week than blue.
19.5-point favorites at home against Arizona--LOL. The real Chip Kelly-led Bruins showed up instead. DTR and the offense had a bad night (that doomed them), their defense was porous as usual, and the kicking team flubbed. Good teams improve over the course of the season, but this one abruptly regressed. Give credit to a better coached Arizona team that was playing inspired, upset-driven football on the road. After witnessing this embarassing loss, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Bruins end this season with a 3-game losing streak. Yes, thank goodness for Bruin basketball!
In my mind, Kelly might conceivably put up a good fight this Saturday since Rose Bowl is our home turf. But Lincoln Riley is a big game coach whereas Kelly, by contrast, only emulates being one. Oklahoma traditionally plays a much tougher schedule than UCLA's. Riley yields to no one. My book is closed on Kelly. So I am going against the grain, betting on the Trojans beating us on our home turf. Sorry guys.
Jarmond needs to get us a good one soon. We suffer enough with three consecutive mediocre coaches -Dorell, Neuheisel and Mora - already. Kelly has to be the tail end of this miserable streak.

Chip's an idiot.
Oh dang, I'm glad I punted and chose sleep.

Still, this sucks :(
Are we illusory to think our team is peaking !?!
Hey football, thanks for keeping it entertaining until football season. Unfortunately, I am quite sure that’s all you will ever be. See you next year!
Just as we were getting our hopes up, Lucy pulled the football again.

Let me help out Dimitri in advance, Charbonet - A-, all the rest F.
