we are 3-0 in pac 10

Chalk up another upset loss for Dorrell when highly favored. He blew it. He could have gone up 9-3 and pounded the running game coupled with stellar defense. Instead they tried to turn an unprepared MB-T loose and it was entirely the wrong strategy. It should have been run-run-run, then more run, grinding out a 5 or 6 field goal victory. Who knows, maybe Khalil might have broken one and added a touchdown. If we had to pass it probably should have been thrown by The Blade. not Mac.

Good to know that the thought to put Rashaan in at quarterback wasn't until AFTER WE REALLY NEEDED HIM.

WHAT. AN. EMBARASSMENT.

I don't even know if I can stomach the CAL game.

Another humiliating loss for UCLA and Dorrell, who didn't have the offense ready to play, especially the OL and backup QB.

Why did he switch Osaar to wide receiver when he drops too many passes in practice? Osaar Rashan should have been the QB behind Olson and Cowan, instead of Bethel-Thompson.

Our offense has been inept with the WCO and with Olson all year long, and most of last year.

Bodes badly for us the rest of year, as we may lose all but one or two games the rest of the way.

KD will be gone after the season ends if Dan Guerrero is committed to making UCLA football a top program.

Please Karl: Don't waste Forcier's redshirt.

From what I have read here and elsewhere, Forcier is not ready... especially for the Dorrell WCO. With any luck we will have regime change at the end of the season and Forcier will have a chance to get game experience under a good coach who adjusts his gameplan to his players strengths rather than force-feeding them some pathetic knock-off of a successful NFL offense.

Dorrell is a looser. We SUCK!! Any reference to the West Coast Offense and Karl Dorrell is an absolute insult to the great Bill Walsh. We will always be loosers with Dorrell and he is an embarrasment to UCLA and the Bruin Football program. Dan Guerrero could care less about football obviously because he hired him. Dorrell makes me sick when I watch him with his clueless look on his face as his team gets embarrassed. Why the heck would a quality high school player want to play for this emotionless spiritless looser??????

I just read Dorrell's quote in Brian's article:

"What happened in the game is something you don't anticipate happening, and it did," Dorrell said. "

MBT has been our #2 QB for most of this season when Cowan was hurt. It only takes 1 injury to get him on the field. Meanwhile our only remaining scholarship QB (who is not a true freshman) rots on the bench waiting to play WR. This is the most pathetic excuse I have heard from Karl "Football 101" Dorrell. Dan Guerrero please replace Dorrell tonight!!!!

Inherent in KD's WCO is the fact that it takes too long (Team wise)to learn it and if you don't believe me... UW's Locker is a red shirt freshman and is eons beyond Red shirt JR.BO in running UW's offense. Good bye and good riddance KD!!!

I just read another Dorrell quote: "We're in pretty good shape in conference," Dorrell said.

Are you out of your mind Dorrell???!??!?!?

Brian,

Just wanted an objective opinion from someone that is emotionally 'detached' from the program. Would you blame this loss on Dorrell and/or poor offensive coaching?

Thanks...

Definition of a TOOL:

"The defense played lights out," Dorrell said. "The offense made too many mistakes."

His bottom-line assessment included the silver lining: the Bruins' 3-0 record in the Pacific 10 Conference.

"We're in pretty good shape in conference," Dorrell said.

I blame this loss on Duhrell for not moving Osaar to QB the minute pat Cowan went down, I blame it on our crappy offense that Dorrell thinks is impossible to stop and and can be learned by anyone... and I blame it on our horrible offensive line

I hate to say it, but this whole cascade of events started with Ben Olson not taking the sack. He had two defenders on him and he tried to break free instead of just going down and protecting the ball. That was a bad QB decision. I love his competitive spirit, but if you watch elite NFL quarterbacks, then know when a play is busted and they have to take a sack (see Tom Brady). Olson kept trying to make something happen even when he was being taken down, and it put him in an injury prone position. Before the injury, he wasn't doing great, but he was managing the game well and not making mistakes.

90K at the RB to watch that garbage. The only highlights I recall was following the SC game as they choked against Stanford and those little kids playing at halftime.

The defense can ONLY do so much. They don't play the 46 defense and yet do reasonably well given some athletic limitations. Why can't the Bruins run a conventional scheme on the offensive side?

The problem on the offensive side is, we have good athletes but the offense is having a hard time getting them the football. It bottlenecks at the QB position.

Paulsen, Breazell, Cowan, Everett, etc are good offensive players and if an offense fails to get them the ball, I don't blame the players. I blame the gameplan or offense and the coaches.

The WCO is death for immobile QBs. Montana, Young, and Elway always had to make a few plays running the ball.

What should have been a day to remember turned into another disappointment.

Forcier won't be ready to run this offense until 2010, given the typical gestition cycle required. We would have been better off with Osaar just drawing up plays in the dirt. At least let him make some plays with his athleticism. He's been in the system for two years, and they didn't put him in the game because he didn't practice at QB last week? Why in hell did he not practice at QB last week? We were one play away from disaster, and it happened. Dorrell makes it sound like it was inconceivable that Ben would get injured. The kids deserve better.

Please overlook the spelling errors. I'm so stinking mad I can't see the keyboard to type.
