Chasing history

| | Comments (20) |

Wayne Latu's short TD run with 38.9 seconds left in the third quarter made it BYU 59, UCLA 0, which is what it finished
It is UCLA's worst shutout loss since a 76-0 defeat to USC to open the 1929 season.

At least my teams never got beat this BADLY. This is worse than 66-19.

What is the worst UCLA loss in history? Are we there yet? My dad's a '64 grad, and he can't remember anything this bad...

Hey, thanks for that bit of history like we really need to know that. Any more good news for us?

Greg said:

Thank goodness my girls had AYSO games and my Dish Network package doesn't carry VERSUS!!!

We can't even make a field goal. I am going to need more to drink. We had a chance to avoid the shut out, but blew that too.

These are times that try mens' souls.

VB said:

Homers. I told you so. We suck. BIG TIME!

Now watch, half of you losers won't even show up to next week's game to support our team.

This still does not hurt as much as the Notre Dame loss. That was at home against one of the worst teams. At least BYU is good....?

VB said:

Bro, this is BAD. Not just bad. This is HORRENDOUS!!! This is by far our worst loss since the Great Depression. 59-0 on the road after beating an SEC team? We looked worse than Stanford out there. Trust me, this is VERY BAD. I would definitely be concerned about the rest of the season. Our team has NO HEART on the road. NO HEART. I TOLD ALL OF YOU: Dorrell players are going to play like Dorrell players no matter who is coaching.


WE SUCK!

As painful as it was to keep checking the score on my phone, there is one silver lining. D Walker may have just coached himself into another year at UCLA instead of a head coaching gig.

VB said:

Like that is good for us. The dude just "coached" our defense into allowing 59 points. Great coach!

If Bronco hadn't called off the dogs, UCLA could have approached Cumberland territory.

Hopefully, the Micah and Ray aren't seriously hurt and some of the younger players learned a lesson on how hard you have to play and how hard you have to work to succeed at this level.

BYU is a fine team. Congrats to Coach Mendenhall and the Cougars.

The MONOPOLY is over???

VB said:

Dorrell players will play like Dorrell players. No matter who is coaching. That is the simple truth. We need to give Neuheisel a couple of years to build. Expect a couple more losses like this by the end of this year.

... Now watch us come out and kill Arizona by 35. LOL

The Coach Author Profile Page said:

59-0.........And they say Chow is a genious? Not one point against a BYU D that would let your grandmother run a 7 yard sweep into the endzone against you. There was nothing "gutty" about this loss other than Bruin fans wanting to throw up whatever they had in their guts after seeing that debacle....Was it the altitude?

JB said:

Well that was...something.

its the versus curse.

Atleast we had 2 weeks to enjoy Tennessee win.

I think the two weeks probably played against us. We needed the game experience to play against a well-oiled BYU.

Unfortunately VB is correct about the pathology of the team on the road. They seemed shell-shocked and on their heels the entire game. I was very surprised by Walker's defense failing to mount a challenge. I wouldn't start criticizing Norm Chow though.

On to Arizona...let's stay behind the team. It will take a while to get it going, so let's keep the Rose Bowl filled and the rewards will come later.

Please, no more games on Versus! I can only remember bad games on this network. If they never telecast another one of our games, it'll be too soon.

WOW, VB called all of us TRUE fans Homers!!
I thought he picked us to win this one.
I don't think us REAL fans are shocked that we lost this game. I think we are unbelievably stunned that it was this bad. I do not think anyone saw this coming.
The Tenn game may have inflated my expectations for this season, but I will be there every game screaming my lungs out.
As rough as yesterday was, I do believe better days are coming.

GO BRUINS!! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
