I’m just following the ESPN play by play

Anyone know why Costello and Mills are both out?

By LerghMcblergh on 10.17.19 6:23pm

Costello has a thumb injury.
Mills might have a knee thing.
At this rate, Tavita will have to suit up.

Needed that Block

By DCCARDINAL on 10.17.19 6:37pm

The black unis

Have not been a good omen in recent years….

By DCCARDINAL on 10.17.19 6:38pm

Young players, injuries

Stanford looks lost on offense…

By charliefoy on 10.17.19 6:49pm

Could be a long night for West.

I feel bad for the guy, he does not seem up to the challenge. I hope the best for him but maybe start running on 1st down?

By NowBoy on 10.17.19 7:14pm

The team

Doesn’t seem prepared to step up. It’s not on west tonight.

By DCCARDINAL on 10.17.19 7:17pm

Geez

I need a drink…Jack Daniels on the rocks please. Make it a double

By Slot_Man22 on 10.17.19 7:35pm

How did we score..I missed it

By Slot_Man22 on 10.17.19 7:36pm

Bruin punt bounced straight back off of a Scandinavian tree by the name of Spencer Jorgensen.

By Crafter Artisan on 10.17.19 9:54pm

Pathetic

West a stiff in the pocket, no completions beyond 5 yds. Shaky O line, 5 sacks already. Everyone raves about Parkinson but he hasn’t done anything. Offensive play calling is really dull. Scarlett is tripping over his own feet. Hard to watch.

By gaffman on 10.17.19 7:51pm

Just got up

Seems expected with a green 3rd string QB starting but the defense has given up 21 in the half. All good things have to end somewhere

By layman on 10.17.19 7:52pm

Not even triple digits offense

And 90% of it on the pass is exactly why I am not sold on carberry. Ofc ucla is crashing down on the run and west can’t hit a truck down the field. At this point put jack Richardson in. He has had a spring camp 2 yrs back all to himself

By layman on 10.17.19 8:06pm

Ugg it's infectious when momentum is against

How do we let a slot receiver that wide open especially if he already had 10 catches for 130?? And then wedington fumbles. Just great guys. Chalk up an L and move on to hoping Davis is healed back in time

By layman on 10.17.19 8:26pm

Well, this is a thing that is happening.

By Crafter Artisan on 10.17.19 9:09pm

No injuries on the O-line tonight.

By NowBoy on 10.17.19 9:21pm

What oline?

By KuhlDuck on 10.17.19 9:50pm

Startlingly inept QB play

In a season where the card gave up 800+ yards early season to true freshmen who were playing on Fridays, our 3rd yr (redshirt sophomore) QB who has been in the system long enough can’t execute a swing pass to a wide open RB. I mean is it recruiting or is it QB "coaching"??

And that shaw decided to let him stay in the game putting everyone else in harm’s way without a chance to win. I mean you handed a walk-on QB a scholly to not ride the bench (or you would have to admit you got it wrong not recruiting enough QBs which you won’t as you showed the past week).

Can’t believe I am quoting herm edwards but "you play to win the game" not get participation trophies with all team spirit, grit, etc.

By layman on 10.17.19 10:35pm

I think West was a walk-on -- not a recruit

Can someone confirm? He seemed game but overmatched.

No one’s fault if we don’t have our most talented guys, but I’m surprised the coaching staff couldn’t come up with a plan that would try to compensate for their limitations. Maybe that’s unrealistic, but I’d love to know that they tried to do that…

By g8tgod on 10.17.19 11:08pm

West was a 4-star recruit

Highly-touted out of high school. Richardson is the walk-on subsequently put on scholarship.

By Jeff Tarnungus on 10.17.19 11:13pm

Well, that's bad...

By g8tgod on 10.17.19 11:14pm

You bet

As layman rightly asks: is it recruiting or player development? I tend to think it is the latter. Also, I believe our entire offensive system hamstrings talent. The overly complex playbook appears to paralyze a player’s natural gifts.

By Jeff Tarnungus on 10.17.19 11:17pm

Agree on the offensive system

It’s damning that our guys often play worse the 2nd year in the system, while other teams roll out a true freshman who is able to succeed. SMH…

By g8tgod on 10.17.19 11:19pm

Yes

There have been multiple instances of players regressing rather than progressing during their years in the system. Somehow baffling.

By Jeff Tarnungus on 10.17.19 11:24pm

Yep. This is a long-running issue

We can’t have young offensive players who thrive in our system unless they are literally supermen like McCaffrey because we have the most complicated system in college football yet … we aren’t prolific offensively generally (Rose v. Iowa notwithstanding).

The whole thing needs an overhaul from top to bottom really.
