Another first half Lunney performance. Can't wait for 2nd half Lunney finally

Diffenbach didn't look bad there walking to the locker room before the half. They'll juice him up at halftime and he'll be back.
Our defense has really stepped it up. What a turnaround from the beginning of the season!

Ah, now the praise for Wheatley makes sense.
On the bright side, in the 1984 Rose Bowl it was 28-3 UCLA at halftime. Much closer this time.
Though I think I'd like our chances tonight if we had Jack Trudeau back throwing to David Williams and handing off to Thomas Rooks.

Statically, we were absolutely dominated in the first half. "Only" being down 10 is a gift. Take it to the half and regroup. A strip sack, a fumble, a pick......cut your losses, get the ball to start the half and score.
We are in this game. Let's.do this.
It would be too risky to try and avoid concussion protocol after slamming his face into the ground by faking a limp right.......right.....
That whole thing was weird.
Illini in Indiana

#4 on the road, outplayed and only down 10.
Wake up and shock the world!!!
No defender within 5 yards.
You might want to give UCLA's defense just a little credit. They aren't having any trouble covering Collin Dixon man to man. That is the first team we have played with that level of talent on defense.
If you take Collin out of the game with one player, that makes things tough on not just your offense, but your offensive coordinator.
My guess it the Dr. Lunney will try to spread the field and either use pitches or short outs to the RBs to open up more space in the middle of the field which is where Katin is more comfortable.
Straight forward. I like our defense outside of the blown coverage they have been stout.
It's Lunney's fault.
Got to score.
Could we win this game 13-10?
I'd like some designed qb runs or at least the threat of it. Stick to the run and don't buy into their defensive motions pre snap
We don't pass my own personal eye test so far (and the TV guys seem butthurt they even have to talk about our team).
They seem to be much more talented in nearly all ways, but heck Houser could get hot so who knows, like you say, only down 10
I didn't think we passed the eye test against Nebby either but that turned out to be not much of a contest once the dust settled
First play will be a run up the gut.
Aka don't check off original play call
best case scenario for us, IMO, but seems unlikely the way UCLA dominates teams in the fourth quarter
Ok - got your break. Score a touchdown and let’s turn up the pressure a bit
