UCLA Gameday Thread [Sat. Oct 6th '07]

Clausen was just compared to Joe Montana.

 

[Junkhead]

I'm sick of 2 yards passes on 3rd and 5. We NEVER throw it far enough to get a first down. Maddening after 6 games. This is NDs game to win.....JUST DO IT.

 

[SouthieND04]

All things considered, going into half down by just 3 is fine by me. We just need to play the 2nd half that we did last week.

 

[NDFan4Life]

Pretty pathetic first half.

Unable to covert 3rd downs
Passing is mediocre
Not running the ball

 

[IrishGuard93]

Pathetic !!!!!

Yes, I absolutely agree. But how many times this season can you say that we've been in the game at halftime?

 

[Golden_Domer88]

Play calling is bad again.

None.

If we play the 2nd half like we did last week, we've got a decent chance of pulling this one off.

Hopefully, this changes in the 2nd half.

I would like to see the team come out in the second half and try to establish the run game, maybe try to tire out the defense. Also maybe if the running game is effective that could open up more downfield. I thought that the defense played really well, probably the best they have played all season. Its time to find tate a new route to get him the ball on because it they are not letting him get open deep at all.

 

[IrishGuard93]

I hope we see Sharpley in the 2nd half...... and I NEVER thought I would say that !

 

[kmoose]

He's thrown into double coverage and to guys that were blanketed...just making very bad decisions overall. And when he's thrown to guys who were wide open, he's waited so long that by the time the ball got there, they barely took a step before being tackled.

It's maddening, but not really unexpected from a Freshman quarterback. The bigger concern, to me, is the lack of ANY ability to run the ball.

True dat.

Armando's had some good runs. Let's just hope he can keep it up.

I was thinking the same thing. Clausen hasn't been doing too good so far. We may have a better chance with Sharpley.

 

[Steve]

there are barely any wide recievers out there and when we do finally go 3 wide, we run. but still 6-3 at the half isn't bad. i mean, we are 0-5.

 

[jakerbluegold]

It's good to see Carlson getting involved finally

 

[SouthieND04]

Here we go. LET'S DO IT!!!

 

[NDgettysburg]

Clausen was just compared to Joe Montana.

yeah..."this is a tough spot for even Joe Montana to be in"....not really a glowing comparison

 

[SouthieND04]

YES! How many Irish just hit the QB at the same time?! That felt good. =)

 

[NDFan4Life]

Got lucky when UCLA called that time-out.

Only 10 men on the field?!?

That's just unacceptable.

 

[jakerbluegold]

They'll be down to no QB's before too long

 

[Fbolt]

-but he got back up....

Let's find out what the O will do. They ned to buck up-those stats were horrendous!

 

[NDFan4Life]

Nice sack!

 

[Fbolt]

That's what I'm talking about!!!!!!!!

 

[SouthieND04]

Awesome

 

[SouthieND04]

Yeah Allen.

 

[EchoesMyEternity]

Yeah, that was a good sack on 4th and just over 1.

-Jon

 

[EchoesMyEternity]

Man, this stinks listening to the game on UND and Westwood One and not being able to watch it.

-Jon

 

[Fbolt]

nice sneak
