Get ready for a 14 minute drive that puts us out of our misery

No. It was four minutes and 15 seconds. Misery continues.

it'll give them time for a couple more

The team has given up (or perhaps they are too out of shape to stay in the game). Hope Wilcox pulls the entire first string (at least on defense) to give reserves playing time. They couldn't do worse than being creamed by a mediocre Bruin team. Without the blocked punt and interception, imagine how bad this would be.

Why not just kick FG? It's a 3 possession game anyways.

---

We're gonna need touchdowns to win.

---

This game isn't about winning. It's about getting on the field and playing ball - for both teams.
These kids have been prepping for this their whole lives. They just want to run like a stallion getting out of the paddocks.

Even the refs know this - marking first downs when not merited.
Just get reps.

With any luck, the post-Thanksgiving covid spike will cancel the big game and we'll be able to keep the axe for another year.

awesome.

I'm proud of how much social distancing I'm seeing from our guys on the field.

LOL.

He had a nice stiff-arm escape and scramble for TD earlier. Give the kid some credit. His receivers dropped quite a few balls early on.

If refs are doing that intentionally, they need to be fired. They are paid professionals, not volunteers in a youth league.

Hopefully. He's an extremely limited QB.

I've seen several bad spots.

I'm worried about the big game now

It hurts, I've been a Bear fan since Kapp, the player.

If we dont beat Oregon St next week, will most likely lose out.

Love the Wilcox era.. year 4 and we suck big time!!

it'll be very interesting to see how the team and coaching staff respond to this

At least we're not Michigan. ?!?

Good, Bad and the Ugly

Good - two fourth down stops

What coaching staff?

Chip showing a little class and taking it a little easy on us. Limiting his playbook.

And to think, Colorado ran for 260 yards against UCLA last week.

---

That was the biggest surprise: Brown repeatedly running up the middle and almost always only getting a yard.

---

The holes weren't there. The OL was getting pushed back pretty much every single play.

Brown really needs to work on his pad level. He runs too high, and i've always been critical of that. However, its not like the O line helped him at all. Osa for Ucla was having a field day. We went empty, UCLA sent 6 and effected Garbers almost every time.

Bruins take home the 2020 Under Armor Trophy.

Yes, I agree; this was hard to watch, but I'm not going to put a lot of stock in this performance given all the crazy factors of this year that have been mentioned. Each team has had to deal with their own unique, specific challenges. We've become unfamiliar with this level of ineptness the last several years so given more time for proper preparation, especially a lot more time with this offensive system, I'm going to remain optimistic and hold off judgment for now. For the staff and team it's going to be no fun watching this game film but they're going to learn A LOT. I'm just hoping there'll be enough time left in this "season" to develop to the level of performance we now come to expect.
