Pump the brakes. Let’s see how the rest of the season goes.

It’s nice, but what if we go on to lose 3 or 4+ to Utah, Oregon, sc, Cal, and our bowl game? That wouldn’t be much of a change from last season. Add Chip’s poor HS recruiting and high transfer rate.

If we’re undefeated after sc, then Chip will really have proven something. Being undefeated after Oregon would be great. It wouldn’t mean nearly as much, if we then get embarrassed in a huge loss to sc.

I would hope our team’s aspirations are to win the PAC/Big 10 title, to beat sc, to receive a playoff spot, and one day win another national championship. Chip has only once completed one of those things. That was from sc being a total embarrassment. Let’s make sure Chip is the right guy, before we lock ourselves to another 3-5 years with him.

Let's see how the rest of the night goes. This is Pac 12 after dark. We've all seen crazy things happen.

Of course the previous game is going to OT and potentially delaying our coverage, and I blame that noted Bruin hater Beth Mowins who is doing the play by play.

Ahhh Beth such a gem...

Tulane does us a favor and wins in the first OT. BSPN takes advantage by getting all excited about tomorrow's SEC games instead of previewing the 2 undefeated west coast teams they are televising in 5 minutes.

Well, can our Bruins defend? Tonight will tell.

Yeah, I think that's the key matchup tonight. Not sure our pass D can handle Penix, but we'll see.

I sense a bad night, friend bruins. I'm on the wrong coast and will hang in as long as I can and my beer holds out.

Defense is looking a bit holy

Geez, burned deep on a 4th and 6 for a TD. Not a promising series.

Typical crap defense on 3rd or 4th down.

Man I hate those 2nd and 3rd down play calls. Give the ball to Charbonet on the goalline

Anyone that wants to defend DTR, please explain him staring down the left side of the field, the whole play? 😖

Expand full comment
ArmyBruin's avatar

Which play? He hasn’t had time to stare. Shitty play calls. He was backing up on 3rd and 4th down.

Expand full comment
Jeffro_TBS's avatar

Yeah, DTR is DTR. The issue here was that there wasn’t confidence in the OLine such that we could pound it in.

Expand full comment
W412's avatar

4th. Rewatch it on the replay. His eyes didn’t shift the whole play.

Expand full comment
E2148's avatar

Probably because he was getting blitzed by the LB that Habermehl whiffed on

Expand full comment
W412's avatar

He still had time to scan the field and try to find an open receiver. FIFTH YEAR! If he was a first or second year, that’s more understandable.

Yay for safety. Boo for no TD, last drive.

ArmyBruin's avatar

Well 2 instead of 3 and getting the ball back.

Expand full comment
W412's avatar

Yeah, but it should be 7 if not for the tripping, or if we played a better 4th down. We need a TD here to help out our D.

This is a great barometer game. The next 3 upcoming games mean a lot to UCLA. Ahead there is Utah and Oregon after this game. I would’ve taken the points and attempted the field goal, but the Chipper will Chip. Great safety. Let’s Go!!

I don’t mind jumping the snap so much as it’s being aggressive, but lining up offside is dumb

Trying to be aggressive. A little too anxious.

Cornerbacks need to play a bit closer to the receivers. Overall the defensive game plan hasn’t been too bad. Fingers crossed
