Aw hell is that a hammie?

gbruin's avatar

The only thing...he didn't immediately grab the hamstring. Every hamstring injury, including mine, the player immediately grabs it and tells the world. So hopefully it was just a calf cramp or something simple. Fingers crossed.

Grabbing that muscle is like a reflex. It really feels like someone just jammed a steak knife in the back of your leg. It's impressive how instantly disabling it is.

The AZ QB is a tough kid. He's been impersonating a tackling dummy a lot tonight.

Phillips really has to catch that one. Those are the plays that separate meh teams from great teams. Like Dulcich last week v Oregon. Both were tough plays for sure, but those are the things that make the difference.

Agreed. Have to have it.

Dimitri Dorlis's avatar

Last week was also Philips (I assume you're referring to the last drive). He's had some issues on that front this year.

Was that Phillios on that 4th down? Ah, my bad. Thanks.

Dangerous pass by Griffin! We dodged a bullet on that one, throwing into double coverage

A couple big runs from Felton, right when we needed some momentum and possession. Nice...

Az has flipped the script in 2nd half....running all over our D...our offense is doing nothing.

Playing like we don’t trust our QB.

Great 3rd down stop by our boys on D!

Whatever adjustments the AZ D made for our run game, it's time for our run game to counter

It's hard to criticize Kelly for going for it after how many years of criticizing Mora for not going for it on 4th downs.

Expand full comment

I can't recall ever criticizing Mora for not going for it on our own 20 yard line.

Or, if you want a direct quote from a previous article you wrote, all be it about Neuheisel: "On Saturday, Oregon had a slim lead and a BCS berth on the line in the 3rd qtr in the Civil War. On 4th and 3 at its own 28, Oregon lined up to punt and snapped the ball to an up back who ran 64 yds. The drive ended with a TD, and propelled Oregon to a win. Oregon doesn't play not to lose. They play to win, and they are playing in the BCS championship game."

Joe repeatedly has made comments in the past about playing to win, and using this chart as evidence. This is the result of "playing to win", one of my least favorite phrases in sports. https://www.bruinsnation.com/ucla-stanford-bruins-cardinal/2016/9/25/13047714/why-ucla-lost-to-stanford-jim-mora-and-the-nfl-mindset#396339423

I just wish they’d throw out the play where they run up the middle out of a shotgun.

UCLA is playing really conservative on offense, which is fine since UCLA's defense has been excellent, but still I'd love to see them actually go out and win the game rather than play the game out.
