Football season opener
UCLA lost to Colorado today in a very disappointing game. The Bruins started out looking sharp, with Moore throwing crisp bullet passes to his receivers. The front four of the defense dominated the Colorado offense, sacking the quarterback repeatedly. However, the team got bogged down by penalties — over 100 yards penalized by the end of the game. When you get penalized that heavily, you simply shouldn’t win the game and the Bruins ended up losing in the closing two minutes.
I’m confident that UCLA will have a successful season this year because I saw a lot of positives in the game. Many of the penalties came from delay of game calls, which can be attributed to a new coaching staff that has yet to perfect its playcalling. Hopefully Matt Moore will return soon after the injury he suffered but until then Drew Olsen can run the team. I liked what I saw from him today, particularly the beautiful touchdown pass he threw. He isn’t as fast as Moore but he is certainly better than Paus.
During the game, Josh and I made some awesome nachos. We’re prepping for the Super Bowl and this batch was definitely Super Bowl quality. I’ll post a photo of the nachos once Adam downloads the images from his camera. They were a meal by themselves.
