Cats vs Bruins

[azcat49]

OK we are moving on from our feel good victory against the Dawgs. Lets hope Stoops and the coaches get them focused for this one. I think we win this one in the "who's going to get there coach fired league"

AZ 2-0 (Wins over Doba, Willingham)
UCLA 1-1
WSU 1-1
Wash 0-2

Stoops pads his resume:

AZ 38
UCLA 24

[scumdevils86]

like i said before i have no idea how this game will turn out. ucla is almost more schizo than us but i really hope the better arizona shows up against a crazy bRuin team.

[MrBug708]

Well an Arizona win would be the final nail in Dorrell

[scumdevils86]

and an arizona loss would help to get rid of stoops. does anyone want to win this game? haha.

[jAZ]

and an arizona loss would help to get rid of stoops. does anyone want to win this game? haha.

I think a more relevant question is: does anyone want to try to compete against UCLA for the best available coaching candidate?

Go Cats!

[scumdevils86]

I think a more relevant question is: does anyone want to try to compete against UCLA for the best available coaching candidate?

Go Cats!

an even better point indeed.

[TucsonDon]

We should know a lot more about how this game is going to go on Monday when the injury report comes out for UCLA. As it stands right now, UCLA looks to be without its two best offensive players, and other than Bruce Davis, its two best defensive players. Press conference tomorrow should clear a few things up. Besides that, this is a game I figured UCLA would lose one way or the other, but that was only because I thought they wouldn't be able to go two straight weeks without losing to a seemingly inferior opponent...and then Wazzu happened, so who knows?

[F Duke]

Than again, UofA winning back to back weekends seems like a stretch.

[bhanson]

I think a more relevant question is: does anyone want to try to compete against UCLA for the best available coaching candidate?


UCLA pays sh!t for their football coach. Dorrall and Mike Stoops are $16K apart in salary, $881K to $865K. Assuming both schools go to $1.2M for the next coach, where do you think you can live better? And a lot less pressure at Arizona, esp. after what Stoops and Mackovic have done to the program.

So sure, UCLA is a more premier school in athletics and academics, but there is more to coaching than prestige.

[TucsonDon]

Coaches coming into UCLA also have the very serious concern of not being able to recruit all the players most other programs can. When trying to build a championship-quality team that's actually a major obstacle and the main reason along with the lack of money that the UCLA job isn't as attractive as it may appear on the surface.

Injuries: Two big ones.

Tailback Kahlil Bell, the Bruins' leading rusher, suffered what was called a sprained knee. He was to undergo an MRI today.

Wide receiver Brandon Breazell, the closest thing the Bruins have to DeSean Jackson, has what is called multiple rib contusions. He will undergo more tests this week.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/ucla/la-sp-uclarep29oct29,1,2111272.story?coll=la-headlines-sports-coll-ucla

[HiCat]

Seems serious..

Injury update: Dorrell said Bell would undergo tests today, including an MRI, to determine the damage done to his right knee, which he injured in the first quarter. Sources said UCLA believes the injury is serious, and could keep him out the rest of the regular season.

"He does feel like there's some laxity in there, so we definitely want to see what that is," Dorrell said.

http://www.dailynews.com/ucla/ci_7308613

[Kjeil]

Bell is done for the rest of the season. I believe I read somewhere is was an ACL. I found the report:
Bell done
Posted by Brian Dohn at 6:18 PM

The results of an MRI show that UCLA running back Kahlil Bell has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He injured the knee in the first quarter of last Saturday's game at Washington State. Surgery will be scheduled after the swelling in his knee subsides.
Obviously, he is done for the season, and likely will not be ready for spring practice.

[ghostwhitehorse]

5 hours to go. . . Bear Down!

[Titan]

Hello? Hello? What is going on? Is kickoff not in 2 minutes? I am the ONLY one in here? Is this bizarro world? Did I not hear about a boycott? And...what about Naomi?

[CalStateTempe]

Whats up everyone

Biatch manager called me in today, going to miss 1quarter, gonna need all you with TV's to help a bro out
GO CATS!

[CalStateTempe]

Is everyone at the game?

[Titan]

Is everyone at the game?

It appears so.

[PieceOfMeat]

Welp we're on the board first, 3-0. Will be interesting to see how the D comes out and plays....

[CalStateTempe]

Thanks POM...I'm repping just for the update.

SO PISSED at my boss.....I could be D-runk at some SF bar right now

[MrBug708]

Arizona moved fairly effective vs UCLA on that drive

[PieceOfMeat]

Turns out it doesn't matter. Cause they just returned the kickoff 100 yards.

And now we're down 7-3.

Welp Offense, lets score a td on this next posession, mmm k?

[CalStateTempe]

POM, I owe you a rep after I "spread it around" a bit

Are you serious...did we boo?

****e

[PieceOfMeat]

Heh no worries on the rep :D

No I didn't hear any boos, but they did show some stunned faces in the crowd.

[PieceOfMeat]

Thomas returns out just past the 30....nearly had the ball stripped but held on.

Time for the Offense to score a TD :)

[CalStateTempe]

This is absolutely ridiculous,

I'm gonna need some beers to watch this game.

[PieceOfMeat]

and I dunno wtf is going on, but abc is eperiencing some difficulties, as they're glitching between games lol.

Comes back in time to see turner get us in a 3rd and short.

3rd and 2 and we give to grigsby who brakes it outside and goes all the way!!!!!

60 yards TD arizona!

[CalStateTempe]

Lets go CATS...Get a TD

[PieceOfMeat]

point after is good, and we're up 10-7. Lets hope the kickoff goes better this time, and the D comes out to play.

[CalStateTempe]

YES SIR!!!


Go Grigsby!

[PieceOfMeat]

someone hand me some rolaids. ucla return guy breaks a tackle, but does eventually get corralled past the 30.

Time to see if the D came to play

[PieceOfMeat]

ucla with 11 yards on first down, the wr fumbled it but it went out of bounds.

play is apparently going to be reviewed

[CalStateTempe]

lmao..

Did I read correctly that Mike Stoops is the HC, but still mainly in control to DC duties.

Thats horrible,

Kinda like Cheney being in two branches of government

[Titan]

Open the playbook, Dykes. Keep this thing rolling all day and let the kids have some fun.

[CatzManiac]

Defense has to step up

[CalStateTempe]

They Haven't all year

[CatzManiac]

That review was bizarre...

[Titan]

You can't fumble the ball forward.

[MrBug708]

lmao..

Did I read correctly that Mike Stoops is the HC, but still mainly in control to DC duties.

Thats horrible,

Kinda like Cheney being in two branches of government

Most defensive minded HC's are like that...nothing new

[PieceOfMeat]

so they come back from the commercial and say they're going to have a review, after the review? ooooooooook

pac-10 refs at their finest today.
I guess they ruled the wr didnt have the firstdown or something.
2nd down and half a yard.
and we stop ucla at the line of scrimmage.
3rd down coming up.
...

and ucla breaks through the line and gets HUGE yardage...35 yards, down to about our 30..... :(

[MrBug708]

This game is not going to be pretty for defensive stats

[CatzManiac]

Do the UCLA players have grease on their jerseys r something...y cant we get a tackle...

[Titan]

Not against Larsen, you don't

[CalStateTempe]

The tackling had been a problem ALL year.

Saw in in person at BYU and CAL, on tv against multiple team.

Something about having no-full contact in spring and fall ball.

[PieceOfMeat]

man we never cover a RB out of the backfield it seems.

Big 3rd down coming up inside our 10

[PieceOfMeat]

3rd and 7 inside the 10...

ucla throws a slant over the middle

for a td...

great job D
...


and we're losing again 13-10 pending the extra point.

[CatzManiac]

Our defense rocks

[bhanson]

I don't know why the Cats sit back on 3rd down. They should blitz. UCLA is making a 1D every time.

[CatzManiac]

It looks like the offense is going to be tired being on so often :lol2:

[scumdevils86]

did you hear that? 5th worst defense in the last 29 years? wow i didn't know it was that bad.

[DCCat]

I don't know why the Cats sit back on 3rd down. They should blitz. UCLA is making a 1D every time.
I don't have any stats, but I'd imagine our opponents' third down conversion percentage must be very high.

[PieceOfMeat]

I don't know why the Cats sit back on 3rd down. They should blitz. UCLA is making a 1D every time.

All season long we do this.

[bhanson]

man we never cover a RB out of the backfield it seems.

Because the Cats won't blitz on 3rd, the RB doesn't have to pick up the blitzer.

[PieceOfMeat]

I guess holding is the only way to stop a gronk

[CalStateTempe]

did you hear that? 5th worst defense in the last 29 years? wow i didn't know it was that bad.


That can't be right...Time for a random quest of knowledge...:confused:

[DCCat]

In the games in which we've killed ourselves in the first quarter, this is about the time when we commit a stupid turnover yielding a quick six. Let's hope we can avoid that today.

[PieceOfMeat]

dennard needs to catch that ball damnit.

wtf

[Titan]

Dennard...sorry, sorry, sorry

[PieceOfMeat]

Tui scrambles for 11!

Do that more often and the D will have to respect it!

[CatzManiac]

WOW, was the TUI!!!

[CatzManiac]

In the games in which we've killed ourselves in the first quarter, this is about the time when we commit a stupid turnover yielding a quick six. Let's hope we can avoid that today.

You are so right, a penalty :confused:

[PieceOfMeat]

And we follow it up with a penalty for illegal substitution.

Way to go....

1st and 15
lol and dykes is doing a stoops impersonation against the Ref(though not for as long)

[PieceOfMeat]

ug and the wonderful quickpass to a wr on the short side of the field for 5 yards.

well at least we got the penalty yardage back.

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Gronk

[PieceOfMeat]

after gronk gets 5, 3rd and 5, and thomas drops the catch.

!@$#@#$%!

time for more defense :(

[CatzManiac]

We need to hold on to those passes

[PieceOfMeat]

lol the ucla guy fair caught it at the 6.

Crier with a nice punt. lets see what our D does now though :\

[Coop Cat]

ug and the wonderful quickpass to a wr on the short side of the field for 5 yards.

well at least we got the penalty yardage back.

1st down, you need to at least get your penalty yards back. You want them to throw deep every play?

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

dropped passes plagued us all season

[bhanson]

even the D can't hold onto the ball today.

[CatzManiac]

Key 3rd down for us

[PieceOfMeat]

1st down, you need to at least get your penalty yards back. You want them to throw deep every play?

No, I just very much dislike the quick wr pass/screen to the SHORT side of the field. No space to work or break a tackle.

Oh and larsen drops a sure pick six....

3rd down and the D makes the stop!

[DCCat]

Holy crap, a third down stop!

[bhanson]

Cason better tuck the ball.

[BlueMikey]

Cason is a bizarre punt returner, but he sure is fun to watch back there.

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Palmer

[CalStateTempe]

Shyte, it is going to snow in Tucson?

[PieceOfMeat]

even the D can't hold onto the ball today.

:lol2: so true.

Cason with the return past the 50 into bruin territory!

That was a fun return to watch :)

[CatzManiac]

we run like 15 yards laterally everytime..

[PieceOfMeat]

Well that was one heck of an ugly running play. no blocking(in fact a hold) and jennings gets pulled down for a loss.

Bruins accept the penalty though.

[tstein7240]

Hey.... anyone have a radio link? Stuck w/the UT game.

[PieceOfMeat]

Jennings is in the backfield now for some unknown reason? Tui scrambles for a few yards and gets upended, kinda made my throat catch there for a second, but he hops right up

[CatzManiac]

Is tui as slow as he looks on TV

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

http://www.arizonaathletics.com/multimedia/multimediacenter.aspx

[BlueMikey]

Michigan is going to take the national championship game away from Ohio State.

[PieceOfMeat]

Dumps it over the middle to gronk, and the GRONK gets the first down carrying a couple of guys!

[BlueMikey]

Gronk! What a great effort after the catch.

[SCCat]

Seeing Gronk after the catch is such a thing of beauty...

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

First Down GRONK

[WayneNewton]

Michigan is going to take the national championship game away from Ohio State.

No they won't.

[DCCat]

Seeing Gronk after the catch is such a thing of beauty...
Too bad we don't get to see it that often.

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Big Blue will take OSU down

[SCCat]

Too bad we don't get to see it that often.

Certainly not often enough.

[Titan]

Someone catch the BALL! (of the WRs)

[PieceOfMeat]

Well there was no space at all for grigsby on first down, but they credit him with a yard.

second down pass to dean and it looks to have gone through his hands but no replay...incomplete.

3rd down and 9 .... passes to gronk but he cant hold on as he takes a BIG hit.

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Hey.... anyone have a radio link? Stuck w/the UT game.

http://www.arizonaathletics.com/multimedia/multimediacenter.aspx

TSTEIN you get that link?

[tstein7240]

Big Blue will take OSU down

I hope... don't have feelings toward either team, but a Boston College/Oregon NC game will be a step towards university presidents going towards a playoff

[WayneNewton]

Big Blue will take OSU down

There is nothing "big" about Big Blue. They really don't look that much better than the first couple games of the season.

[PieceOfMeat]

Bondzio good from 48, and we're nearly tied, but still down, 14-13.

[tstein7240]

http://www.arizonaathletics.com/multimedia/multimediacenter.aspx

TSTEIN you get that link?

Yup... (in fact, check your rep for a thanks :) )

[PieceOfMeat]

!@#!@#!@# and nate ness drops a sure pick six!

that's twice it's happened to us today

[BlueMikey]

Should have had two INTs so far. :\

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

could not get a feed on any other link to work so I'm glad AZ Athletics has this one working for free

[PieceOfMeat]

Lets just hope those two dropped INT's don't haunt us. Winning teams catch those and return them for TD's. :\

End of the first and we're down 14-13.

[DCCat]

Well, we've made it through the first quarter without being down by 2-4 TDs. That's a big positive.

[bhanson]

Winning teams catch those and return them for TD's.

Exactly, it's just a couple plays per game that separates the winners from the losers.

Time to have a corner blitz.

[Rockdoc]

i think we need to settle down a little. then we'll make the catches

[PieceOfMeat]

3rd and 7 and bruins still convert....

[bhanson]

Again, no blitz and the Bruins make a first. how many times they are going to do it?

[PieceOfMeat]

well we've gotten a little pressure the last two plays, and bruins have gotten good sized chunks of yardage on each of them :\

Here's hoping for some sack action now

[Rockdoc]

now we get some pressure and cant cover anyone. i hate the zone

[CatzManiac]

Again, no blitz and the Bruins make a first. how many times they are going to do it?

Until our DC something :confused:

[PieceOfMeat]

Pilsbury Zoneboys out there :\

Anyhow, 3rd and only 1...can we get a stop now?

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

The zone sucks should be going man to man! Heard vs WSU that Arizona is the lowest blitzing team in the PAC only 15%

[scumdevils86]

seriously those two possible dropped pick sixes could hurt us so bad..

[PieceOfMeat]

Yes we can get a stop! Good up the field pressure and we stop the bruins.
Bruins bring out the punter

[PieceOfMeat]

great punt coverage by the bruins pins us deep, at about the 3 or 4 yard line :\

[PieceOfMeat]

seriously those two possible dropped pick sixes could hurt us so bad..

Hell even if we don't return them for a TD, both picks would have had us in easy FG range :\

Can't leave points out there :(

[CatzManiac]

Tui seems to be playing good today, we just need to hold on to those passes...

[DCCat]

Time for a 96 yard TD pass. If UW can do it, we can.

'Course, if we did it, we'd probably get called for holding in the end zone and turn it into a safety.

[bhanson]

Nice checkoff! I thought he was going to call a handoff.

[PieceOfMeat]

Big pass to thomas for a lotta yards, but if tui doesnt float that it's a TD.

Still I'll take the big gain, i'm not complainin to m uch!

[BlueMikey]

Great play but too bad Tui butchered that pass.

[PieceOfMeat]

and then we give up a sack. tui coulda/shoulda gotten rid of that one.

[bhanson]

sack all on tui.

[tstein7240]

Why does Jennings get time as the backup? With the assumption this season is over, give the young kids some PT instead of a walk-on, do-nothing who isn't going to be here next year?

[PieceOfMeat]

TD 65 yards!
to jennings!

again he floated the ball but it got there!

[tstein7240]

Why does Jennings get time as the backup? With the assumption this season is over, give the young kids some PT instead of a walk-on, do-nothing who isn't going to be here next year?

reverse JINX!

[CatzManiac]

Great, catch more of those...

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Jennings!! TD

[BlueMikey]

Why does Jennings get time as the backup? With the assumption this season is over, give the young kids some PT instead of a walk-on, do-nothing who isn't going to be here next year?

QFT

(quoted for touchdown)

[DCCat]

Why does Jennings get time as the backup? With the assumption this season is over, give the young kids some PT instead of a walk-on, do-nothing who isn't going to be here next year?
Nice timing, Stein. :)

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

reverse JINX!

lmao

[bhanson]

why weren't these plays called the first 8 games of the season? 50+ yard passes better 3 yard passes.

I think it's Dykes calls now instead of Stoops.

[PieceOfMeat]

:lol2:

we're up 20-14.

Lets hope the D can come out and get a stop again. An INT(NOT DROPPED) would be great on this next posession.

Oh, but dont wanna forget the kickoff coverage, we need to do that too! lol

[CalStateTempe]

Can I take a moment to think angry thoughts about my boss

Of Course the statistics wouldn't be correct for her...during a cats game... :angry:

[PieceOfMeat]

why weren't these plays called the first 8 games of the season? 50+ yard passes better 3 yard passes.

I think it's Dykes calls now instead of Stoops.

me thinks you be correct, sir

[CalStateTempe]

Holding back the playbook for the last fourth of the season :P

[BlueMikey]

We're making UCLA look like they have Devin Hester back there.

[PieceOfMeat]

Man i swear, this team should have a sponsor be Rolaids or Tums.

The squib kick gets past the guy, he has to go inside his 10 to get it, then he evades tackls, and gets a decent field position out of it at the 35

[WayneNewton]

why weren't these plays called the first 8 games of the season? 50+ yard passes better 3 yard passes.

I think it's Dykes calls now instead of Stoops.

Dykes' offensive play call: Trips right, motion out x, zips, off PA.

Stoops' offensive play call: ARRRRRRGHHH! JUST HIT SOMEBODY! I DON'T CARE IF WE GET YARDS OR NOT JUST HIT SOMEBODY HARD!

[CaptCarnage]

I have the Texas game, so thanks for the chat updates. On ESPN Gamecast, it is saying we have 254 yards ALREADY! 165 passing! Unreal!

[Rockdoc]

looks like we need more starters and speed on our kickoff coverage. cam nelson was terrible

[CatzManiac]

Don't we practice tackling in practice or something?

[PieceOfMeat]

3rd and 5...could be a huge play...

we blitz and force a wobble pass and bruins have to punt!

Hey merkin, a blitz!

[bhanson]

hey look, a blitz on third does work!!!!

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

nah, Stoops never called the plays this offense is too complicated. It just takes time to get it down. Willie had to get comfortable. Once they the basics down you can build on it. Stoops may have kept it more conservative though.

[BlueMikey]

Wow! Very nice 3-and-out there.

Let's see some more of those great deep passes.

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Stoops stays, new DC

[PieceOfMeat]

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuute

is on the sidelines.

we run a screen to grigs, for 8.5 yards

[bhanson]

No mention of UCLA Lute?

[PieceOfMeat]

2nd and 1 and we run a handoff to Grigs, makes a man miss and gets a nice chunk of yards.

1st down AZ out at the 45ish

[PieceOfMeat]

Reese with a FANTABULOUS CATCH on his finger tips.
and we dont hurry up and run a play, which gives time for a replay.

I think its a catch even on replay, but we'll see since it did touch the ground.

[bhanson]

Cats should run a play quick!!!!

[BlueMikey]

I think he turned it up into his chest immediately before it hit the ground. I think it's a good catch.

[tstein7240]

Not sure if I should post premium thread comments in an "in-game", but...

One issue Adam Hawes mentioned in a thread was Stoops (last season and this season) had the team incredibly tight at the begining of the season. After they were out of it last season, he let go of the reigns and didn't "over coach" (aka, get on their butt for every minor thing). Then, when they won and had a chance to go to a bowl game - he reverted back to his old self before the ASU game.

Same thing is season... they lose early playing like crap. The season is basically over... and now we play loose again

[BlueMikey]

Bad reversal I think. Definitely not conclusive enough to overturn.

[PieceOfMeat]

!@#!@#!@#!@# damnit you shoulda ran a play quicker so it couldn't be reviewed.

over turned, 2nd and 10 now at our 45. It's ok offense, lets get a first now.

[mytwocents]

hi

[bhanson]

seriously, that was a lot closer call than the UCLA out of bounds review that was not reversed.

[tstein7240]

listening to the radio... they say it SHOULD NOT be reversed? What are the TV guys saying...

[PieceOfMeat]

and we follow it up with a tui sack. ffs.

3rd and forever

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Dykes is going to make a great Head Coach. He has a positive attitude and enjoys teaching the game.

[CalStateTempe]

I give him one more year to get it right.

If he effes up the ASU game (in that they don't play like wildcats)

can his ass

[Coop Cat]

I give him one more year to get it right.

If he effes up the ASU game (in that they don't play like wildcats)

can his ass


Which is it then?

[PieceOfMeat]

3rd and forever, everyone covered, and tui throws it away and takes a hit.

damnit damnit damnit why didnt we run a play cquicker.

crier punts it and it's returned up to the 35. sucks.

Welp lets go D

[CatzManiac]

listening to the radio... they say it SHOULD NOT be reversed? What are the TV guys saying...

TV guys felt it was the right call. i thought it was inconclusive though.

[WayneNewton]

How is it possible to reverse a play that probably should not be reversed? If there is doubt then you stick with the original call.

[DCCat]

Time for a UCLA turnover.

[WayneNewton]

Ucla will score on this drive.

[PieceOfMeat]

I can see why it was overturned, the ball obviously turned from point down to point sidwards when it hit the ground. Although it was never "bobbled" or even "came loose" i don't think, the fact that the ball twisted in the hands makes it look not in control.

Meh, we still shoulda ran a quick play so it didnt matter.

[Coop Cat]

TV guys felt it was the right call. i thought it was inconclusive though.

I thought no catch. Good call on the reversal.

[bhanson]

TV guys said the initial call was wrong, no catch, but it wasn't conclusive enough so the reversal was wrong too.

[tstein7240]

I don't get the "fire the DC, keep Stoops" mentality?

A head coach is responsible for a variety of things...
- Recruiting - above average to great
- Game prep - poor
- Motivating - very poor
- Game management - very poor
- Leadership - very poor
- Hiring a staff - very poor (considering he has already canned an OC and now people think he should can the DC)

[bhanson]

Jennie looking as great as ever.

[PieceOfMeat]

Jennie looking as great as ever.

Yes indeed!

And the D forces a 3 and out!

Lets get a good return and get the O going!

[DCCat]

Meh, we still shoulda ran a quick play so it didnt matter.
You can't run a quick play if the officials don't mark the ball ready for play, which they hadn't before they heard from the booth. The radio guys made it sound like they were dragging their feet on that because they expected to hear from the booth.

[CatzManiac]

Our punt returns are always funny looking.

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

We're stuck with Stoops but not his brother

[BlueMikey]

I'm loving the idea that Stoops will fire his brother.

How is it possible to reverse a play that probably should not be reversed? If there is doubt then you stick with the original call.

I know it shouldn't be this way, but I bet what happened was that because the ref couldn't see what happened, he just had to make a call one way or the other, and then they figured, "hell, we'll just let the booth make the decision rather than just checking to see if it should be reversed." *shrug*

[PieceOfMeat]

You can't run a quick play if the officials don't mark the ball ready for play, which they hadn't before they heard from the booth. The radio guys made it sound like they were dragging their feet on that because they expected to hear from the booth.


Ah tv was busy showing replays so I didnt get to see if the ball was spotted.

thanks for the heads up :)

and on first down we throw deep to DEAN inside the 20!

great pass and catch!

[BlueMikey]

Another great pass play!

Holy cow where was this earlier in the year.

[mytwocents]

Omg Wiuhi:uahfs:huaiufhd:asuf:ihsa:fih!!!!!!!!

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Dean

[tstein7240]

Ok... have to leave the chat for the day... Volunteer work time (since the game isn't on TV in Dallas and they switched game time on me... I am screwed :( )

Enjoy... go Cats.

[CatzManiac]

this is the tui we have all been waiting for

[bhanson]

Where's AJ? He can learn from Dean.

[Coop Cat]

You can't run a quick play if the officials don't mark the ball ready for play, which they hadn't before they heard from the booth. The radio guys made it sound like they were dragging their feet on that because they expected to hear from the booth.

Great observation!

[PieceOfMeat]

Tui scrambles and gets near the first down marker....

depends on the spot

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

First and Goal

[CatzManiac]

Are we this good, or is UCLA just bad

[PieceOfMeat]

Tui throws over the middle after the chains give us the first.

nearly picked off but threaded in to turner!

TD ARIZONA

[BlueMikey]

Great catch Turner! Earlier in the year, that would have been dropped.

About to go up 27-14. Wow.

[mytwocents]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooo

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Terrel Turner TD!

[BallinestCat27]

Nice shot of a group of students sitting down and looking bored directly after a touchdown is scored.

[mytwocents]

Are we this good, or is UCLA just bad

I'm curious as well.

[PieceOfMeat]

27-14 after the extra point!

Hell, come on D, lets get another stop and give the ball back to the O

[DCCat]

Probably bummed that all that cheering was interfering with their conversation.

[BlueMikey]

What the hell happened to our kickoff coverage??

[BallinestCat27]

What the f*ck is wrong with Bondzio's kick-offs?

He's terrrrrible.

[PieceOfMeat]

Huge return for UCLA but a holding flag saves us.
ucla still has it at the 34, lets go D

[Coop Cat]

Jennie looking as great as ever.

Jennie is old news for AZ softball. Should've had Taryn out there pitching.

[bhanson]

What the f*ck is wrong with Bondzio's kick-offs?

He's terrrrrible.


He was terrible last week too, speculation he was injured.

Maybe they should have Crier kick off, dude has a leg.

[DCCat]

I like our special teams coach in general, but his kickoff strategies are just nuts.

[PieceOfMeat]

3rd and 13 after the false start
BLITZ
and a SACK

hey merkin another blitz!

[mytwocents]

Who The **** Is This Team?????

[bhanson]

only took stoops a quarter to learn that a blitz on third and long is better than a bend and don't break defensive scheme.

[DCCat]

Stoops making note to self: Hmmm, looks like maybe aggressive defense actually works.

[PieceOfMeat]

wow, HUUUUUGE punt drives cason way back.

and that flag has to be on us.

[CatzManiac]

we always seem to run more laterally than forward on the punt returns..

[PieceOfMeat]

only took stoops a quarter to learn that a blitz on third and long is better than a bend and don't break defensive scheme.

Hey but he learned. the first 3 years he wouldn't have learned

this, year 4, and he's learning.

4 more years! 4 more years!
:lol2:

[BlueMikey]

Navy is 15 minutes and 2 points away from ending a 43-game losing streak to Notre Dame.

[illcat]

Just got here could I have a score or do I want to know??

[PieceOfMeat]

LOL ucla fails to tackle tui in the endzone, and he escapes the safety and throws it away.

3rd and 11.

[BlueMikey]

Yikes, Tui....almost got his 2nd safety of the year.

[CatzManiac]

Just got here could I have a score or do I want to know??

27-14, UA leading

[PieceOfMeat]

illcat we're up 27-14, 3:54 left in the first half, and we just got a stinking delay of game penalty, so now it's 3rd and ... like 14 afrom our 3

[BlueMikey]

Just got here could I have a score or do I want to know??

36-7 UCLA

[PieceOfMeat]

draw play to jennigs to give us some room, gets out to about the 7/8
punt time, lets hope the coverage and kick are good.

[PieceOfMeat]

not a bad punt at all on the line drive 54 yarder, 10 yards on the return.

D needs to clamp down and not let ucla drive here.

[mytwocents]

Just got here could I have a score or do I want to know??

Hey illcat.....I was in your neck of the woods last week. Invited Justin to a halloween party at Kelly's. Shoulda been there.

[illcat]

Thx.

[scumdevils86]

please let us hold them before the half here. that would completely deflate our momentum if we let them come back within a score.

[PieceOfMeat]

2nd and 10 and we blitz for a nice sack!
larsen!

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Larsen with a Huge Sack!

[mytwocents]

Seriously. In the words of Seinfeld...."Who is this???"

[PieceOfMeat]

3rd down and we bring a corner, flag should be illegal forward pass which we'll decline for 4th down, nice stop D!

Lets hope the punt doesnt pin us deep again

[BlueMikey]

The last few games make you wonder what the hell the coaching staff was thinking early on. Why didn't we ever throw the ball deep? Why didn't we ever blitz?

I hope that if Stoops is still around next year it doesn't take him another 8 games to figure out how the hell to win.

[bhanson]

Why would Stoops decline a penalty that was loss of down????

[PieceOfMeat]

cason with the horrible horrrrrible decision to field the punt inside the 5, gets tackled at the 1 or 2 yard line...ffs

[illcat]

Hey illcat.....I was in your neck of the woods last week. Invited Justin to a halloween party at Kelly's. Shoulda been there.


Did everyone have a good time. Sure hope so!! Hope someone had one for me!!:)

[CharH44]

Well, got to cut Cason some slack because he's manage to make up for that mistake. The bigger picture is that AZ is 13 up against the Bruins on Homecoming and that makes me happy.

[PieceOfMeat]

couple grigsby runs gets us to 3rd and 2.

first down here would be huge..

and we get a flag for failure to use required equipment...something about his chinstrap not being on.

the flag is a forced timeout instead of a yardage.

wow that's odd

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

I'll be happy when the Win is in the books!

[DCCat]

EMFM's chin is too studly for standard equipment.

[PieceOfMeat]

first down to gronk!

[AZ_BEAR_DOWN]

Somebody show Dykes and Stoops highlight clips of Hubie Oliver! I want to see Earl MF Mitchell do his best Hubie Impression! Give Earl the Ball already!

[PieceOfMeat]

and I guess we're just running out the clock here, handoff to grigs loses one or two.

[CaptCarnage]

Who gets the ball to start the second half?

[PieceOfMeat]

and a knee ends the half.
We're up 27-14. And questions abound, is ucla this bad? could we ahve been this good all season? questions questions questions. time to eat:)

[mytwocents]

Did everyone have a good time. Sure hope so!! Hope someone had one for me!!:)

Well Justin didn't actually go....but yes sir I had fun. Night almost ended at VIPs but there were some scary people there so me and the rest of my flight crew (we were dressed as the members of the aviators Mile High Club) opted for elsewhere.

[CatzManiac]

Was the best half of the season?

[bhanson]

Who gets the ball to start the second half?


UCLA

[BlueMikey]

Navy gets a fumble recovery and a 2-point conversion to go up 7 at Notre Dame with about 10 minutes left.

[scumdevils86]

well i just hope to god our d keeps it up and our o can put just ANY points on the board after this.

[SCCat]

And questions abound, is ucla this bad? could we ahve been this good all season?

The UCLA offense played very poorly last week and that seems to be continuing. Our offense, however, is doing a great job against a pretty decent defense.

[scumdevils86]

this game will come down entirely to our dropped interceptions and touch downs and who makes better adjustments at half. thank god its dorrell on the other sideline.

[Rockdoc]

the guys need to play hard especially the first half of the third quarter. dont let them back in the game.
