Bruins trying to blow it.

Sark is an idiot....he should be fired...ya you have a back up rs frosh qb but you dont go for it in your own territory with 10 min left. Just gave the game away

[nando714]

They did it last year too.  For the black out.

 

Great win.  I am really worried about the RB spot now.  Jack was great but you could tell he was really gassed at the end of the game.

 

Malcom Jones got knocked out, I would think his season might be over.  Guy played with a lot of toughness, I hope it turns out to be better than it looked on TV.  Perkins was limping the entire game, another guy that toughed it out.  JJ and Manfro still out with ankles.

 

Stringfellow carved us up, he was a guy the Bruins were recruiting until around Oct/Nov when they decided they had better options.  I wonder if he wasn't playing with a chip on his shoulder.

 

That proposal is great, wish it wasn't filmed with such a shit camera.  This team has incredible chemistry.  Mora is f'n amazing.

Jack's performance was jaw dropping.  (At least through the beginning of the 4th quarter when I fell asleep.  I assume it continued though.)   What an athlete!  (Jack ... not me.)

 

Nate's right though, I could tell he was starting to look gassed at the end of the 3rd.  I can only imagine he looked worse by game's end.  Mora's really going to have to be smart about how he uses the kid.

I know he's a great LB, but maybe he needs to play RB full time with so many injuries next week?

 

Really wish Hundley had the ability to throw the deep ball like Price did. Price should get drafted. And he might be a steal in the later rounds.

[saangels]

What the hell is up with these unpredictable 4th and long fake punts deep in the opponents own territories?  

 

Great win for the Bruins, though.  I think they can handle Arizona State and SC.  But you never know.  Should be fun to watch.

Great game, the black uniforms were pretty cool.  I agree with Nate that Jack looked gassed at the end of the game.  Man the injuries are really piling up on the O-line and RB positions.

USC needs UCLA to win to keep their South Division hopes alive ..... but screw it. Go Devils! Fork'em!

[nate]

Whoah, hope this isn't true.  http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/ucla-student-arrested-on-suspicion-249421.aspx?link_page_rss=249421

UCLA LT Torian White was arrested last night on suspicion of sexual assault. He has been suspended from the team indefinitely.

Bruins got a commitment from 4* CB John Plattenburg.  Awesome, keep bringing in those DBs!

 

Also, there were reports that RB Tre Watson, a Cal commit flipped to UCLA last night, but he is denying it.  It is still believed it will happen very soon.

 

Finally on Torian White, it is kind of weird.  He has not been charged and there is no accusation of rape.  Maybe a witness reported it?  He was UCLA's best tackle before he got injured in the Utah game.  It was the beginning of the end of the OL.  If he sexually assaulted a woman he will never see the field again for UCLA.  I am sure he would be immediately eligible to play in the SEC though.

I'm sure Watson will flip. There's no reason to stick with Cal right now.

[nando714]

I'm sure Watson will flip. There's no reason to stick with Cal right now.

 

look for Koa Farmer to flip too when USC offers 

[RallyMo]

I won't be shocked.

[nate]

According to sources, Torian White will not be charged, the DA rejected the case.

 

Will be interesting to see how UCLA proceeds.  He is injured so they have time to do their own investigating.  I hope they do that before reinstating him.  If there is any truth to what happened he should be kicked out of school.

[AngelsLongBall]

He can go block for Sanchez

[xboom28x]

Any news on the UCLA RB's for Saturday's game?

[nate]

James and Manfro should be able to go.

 

Hard to tell though because Mora is keeping all the info close to the vest.  This is a huge game.

[nate]

UCLA hired ZGF Architects LLP to build the football facility.  They are the same company that did Oregon's.

[nate]

Also, my weekly gloomy post... I think the Bruins lose by two touchdowns this week and then lose next week by a touchdown.

 

OL injuries were just too much.

[halobob]

Boo on ur gloomy post.  3 touchdown victories back to back weeks!

[m0nkey]

Go booins!

[nate]

Myles Jack is starting at RB tonight.

[xboom28x]

I thought James was back?
