The best part: the interesting decision to fake a punt on 4th and 23 only to get 22 yards (thankfully, Alamar knew what was coming, and the players seemed prepared (cough)). The 'ruin band played. Then came the flea flicker pass. I'm just glad that Boateng held onto that ball. Go Bears!
That wasn't the only hot thing at the game. The left side of my face was scorched in the bizarre 80 degree mid-October weather. I shouldn't complain about a great day, so I won't.
Overall, the Bears looked very blah. Riley couldn't get it going until the flea-flicker, which was sweet. After a rough start, the Bruins marched up and down the field like it was nothing. Only the perfectly timed "driving and...oh, interception" Groundhog day occurrences saved it from getting closer.
But in the end, at least we crushed the spirits of UCLA. It was 17-10 for so long, then it was 41-13 before a last second TD closed the gap. It's good to break wills and send folks away as shells of themselves.
The Riley thing has me a bit concerned. He's woefully inaccurate. Starting to remind me a bit of Ayoob (shudder). I would propose a starter/reliever approach.
Longshore is the starter. As long as he's ahead, we let him manage the game. He's more accurate and does fine when there's no pressure. Here "pressure" is defined as:
* pass rush
* the need to pass every down because we're behind
* the need to not throw a dumb pick because we're so far ahead.
Riley comes in midway through the 3rd quarter. He's the relief pitcher. Much better with a pass rush in his face if we're behind, and less likely to do something totally moronic if we're ahead.
If we happen to go into overtime, than we put in Brock Mansion. Because how could you go wrong if your name is Brock Mansion?
