Here we go....less than a week away from football season. This is going to be a rough start for us. I will just be happy to see us play football again.

Unfortunately I don’t see us having a chance to win this one. Chip Kelly is running the show and their O will be moving at a lightning pace.

UCLA - 56
UC - 17

I don't expect it to be near as bad. UCLA lost a lot of talent from last year and will most likely be starting Wilton Speight at QB who is their version of Hayden Moore.

I think we'll hang close and maybe eek out a win.

UCLA-24
Bearcats-28
 
Small anecdote, but Chip Kelly lost game one at Oregon implementing his new system to a program (scoring 8 points), and lost 3 games that first year. I think playing him in week 1 is a slight advantage over later in the year. I think its more like 28-14.

I'll be there in person to root on the Cats.
 
Our O line has been bad. May be time to put in Ridder...Might be a good way to counter our terrible O line.
 
How is this board not blowing up. What a game by the cats. Defense was huge and Fickell has no fear.
 
Huge win. No offense to Moore but I was estatic that Fickell took him out. No way we win that game with him.

That 4th and short...I still think kicking the FG was the right call but you can’t argue with the results. Big time win.
 
Congrats and love that the Bearcats won such an important game for the early season!

Warren was impressive to get grinding away for so many yards. If he can maintain the four yards per carry we're going to see a banner year from him. Kind of looks like he's plan A right now, as the passing game was not clicking too much.

The punt game was working well tonight. UCLA usually didn't start drives with great field position, which helped.

Wright obviously was our vocal field leader and hopefully his cramping was just dehydration and not a sign of injury.

Man, nothing pretty about this one. The offense is truly a work in progress. The style almost seemed old school smash mouth and run the ball style, yet with players probably not big enough to do that consistently. I hope the wide receivers start to become a bigger factor. I was happy to see Fickell change QBs. Nothing against Moore, but if something isn't working why not change it up.
 
Great win! It doesn't matter what excuses UCLA might have, I thought UC played hard, with purpose, and with a will to win. Hats off to Coach F for getting them ready. QB made a difference in this case. Hope they can now get ready for Miami.
 
INJURIES

Did the Bearcats have any injuries from last night's game? What was the reason Doaks did not play?

I don't think there were any injuries other than guys cramping up. Doaks didn't make the trip due to an injury at practice. Strain or something
