glduck Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 to reiterate what i said in another thread, i acknowledge that ucla is kind of a shit show right now and they're vulnerable/beatable, but... josh rosen still exists, and ucla has scored under 30 points exactly once this season, when they beat colorado 27-23. rosen is going to get his, because he's good. meanwhile, oregon is averaging 8.5 points per game in two burmeister starts. even if wazzu and stanford are superior defensive teams, 8.5 points is a looooooong way from the 30-35 we'd probably need to beat ucla. the math just isn't adding up. we can't sustain drives, we can't throw the football (burmeister/alie combined numbers saturday: 5/13, 33 yards, 2 picks), our special teams are blah and our defense, while improved, doesn't force a whole lot of turnovers. if you're a ucla fan worried that burmeister is a runner and tate just butchered you on the ground, burmeister is averaging 1.1 yard per carry. whatever gains he's made have been nearly wiped out due to sacks, and literally every nice run he's had has been called back because of a hold.

PapaG Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm sensing a Cody Kempt/Brady Leaf redux offensively in the Rose Bowl, one decade later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Oregon's offense has been terrible can UCLA's run defense is the worst I've seen in a long time. If Cal can't stop Oregon's ground game with a 3rd string qb, will UCLA's be up for the task? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBug708 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 UCLA hasn't won a conference road game since 2015, so this being a home is a good one. But i think ucla has some bad chemistry going on right now so it's anyone's game I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only won 2 conference games last year ( Rosen was out most of the season ), and have only played 2 conference road games this year, so not such a surprising stat.

glduck Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 that 07 oregon/ucla game was brutal. brady leaf somehow shattered both his ankles, cody kempt battled his arch-nemesis the forward pass, jonathan stewart had turf toe... i looked it up: ucla outgained us 220-148. that's pre-war football.

MrBug708 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 UCLA had a football game in the 2000s that finished 6-3 though there was a little more yardage, 283-204. Strangely enough, the same two teams played in the 90s and had the exact same score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 burmeister officially named the starter. any word on crosby and pisarcik? the left side of our line left the stanford game with concussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that one was on my mind when I made the remark, but I never witnessed it on TV or in person. And I'll never waste my time on a replay. Beavs' Sun Bowl win against Pitt in 2008 wasn't exactly a barnburner, either. Still, any Beaver win can never make my list of all-time ugliest games. The thing about Oregon/UCLA in 07 that was so insane to me was what Oregon looked like BEFORE that game. After Dixon went down, the Ducks went from one of the most dynamic offenses in the country, to perhaps the most ineffective. It was almost sad.

Quack 12 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yeah, I recall what a disaster that game was. A visit to Boise a couple of years later was also horrible. I was think about the '83 CW after I posted. I wasn't at the game, and I don't recall if it was televised live, though I doubt it. I remember listening to Jerry Allen's call (during which you could never tell what was going on, just like today) and then watching "The Rich Brooks Show" on OPB a couple of days later. Man, we were primitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, more than that I hate how and when he was brought in to the game. It was a couple plays after one of the Beaver players had a pretty bad injury; a broken leg if I recall. Autzen was flat after the long injury delay. Blount comes in and the place goes bezerker. On the other, more objective hand, if I was a coach and had that sort of card, I would've played it too.
