Cruisin for a Bruins - the official Utah v UCLA thread

[UtahJazzFan88]

Wait, huh??? That was a first down? Sure didn't look like it, thanks for the spot that will end the game.

[UtahDan]

Did UCLA just get an extra down?

What looked like a 3rd and 1 or 3rd and inches was given as a 1st down. What a complete joke.

Edit: Nevermind, I get what you're talking about now

It was third down after Utah used a timeout. The Fox graphic was wrong.

Poor clock management and giving up that quick first down probably have cost us this game. Wilson looks as good as advertised. With more aggressive play calling I think this game is utah's to lose. That interception was huge and utah's failure to get even one turnover didn't negate that. I'd like to play this game again next week. I think we can beat these guys. 7 seconds to score. Got to get a block. End to this game is disappointing because it was careless game management but also the Utes didn't get aggressive until that last drive.

Nevermind, I see what happened. They showed that it was 1 & 10 on the play when it was actually 3 & 1.

[OrangeUte]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! That was rad and desperate.

[UtahDan]

Well, Wilson looked not terrible. But it still looks to me like we have an offensive line problem and an offensive coordinator problem that are not going to get solved during this season. Defense did enough to win.

[OrangeUte]

Jim Mora. I like him. Classy guy and seems a lot like Harbaugh. Young and emotional.

Looking forward to hearing what Whit has to say. Our offense needs to be more loose. We have a lot of talent but seem afraid to use it.

Sure. If by enough to win you mean tons of missed tackles and giving UCLA a boatload of yards after contact.

Whit saying this Utah team is better than last year's team.

Didn't give Wilson entire package. Will continue to feed him more and more. Whit says Wilson is poised.

Oregon State is a harder game.

Players give great effort.

OLine - unit plays okay. Solid game and much better from 4 games ago.

[Solon]

This game will reveal a lot about this team and where this season is headed.
...
I think it's a crucial pivot, and a chance to either right the ship or watch the season slip away.

I look forward to seeing which it is.

Well, I guess I know which it is.

Rethink that. Hint: Our first TD.

I should say lack of defensive takeaway. You're right that we did get that TO on special teams.

Too bad the coaching staff has taken a huge step back.
