1/26/2008 - SDSU+UCLA Scrimmage

I'm not really good at recapping tournaments. I usually just film it and have the footage speak for itself. And yes, that is what I will do.

Odds are this link will not work by the time anyone actually reads this because it will be deleted off the filefront server. But I probably will save it on a harddrive in case anyone actually wants to review it.

Quick summary/notes:
-Lost to UCLA - traded points until half, and then they took it away 15-10(?)
-Lost to SDSU - disappointing loss. I don't remember anything but losing :(

-Captains/officers did a great job distributing playing time.
-The lines usually had 5 veterans and 2 newbies
-The lines were a little bit questionable at times, but I thought they were satisfactory.
-I don't blame them for this because it could have been intentional, but some players played exclusively on Offense or Defense, rather than experiencing both types of play.
-Players were sluggish, hurt, sore from thursday's workout. Unintentional because we did not expect to have a tournament this weekend.

-Biggest problem was that our dumps were not working. I don't remember if its because we didn't run the dumpsets or if it was something else.
-Very little defense on our part. The "Wall" defense was very ineffective.
-Offense was slow. H-stack was mostly used and had a tough time working.
-Offensive plays "Sweep" was not effective, but mostly because it was not run hard enough. I still have a problem with the two break side cuts at the same time as it does not seem viable, nor is two people cutting to the same side or place on the field ever a good idea.
-Suggest "freebie" in the future.

That's about it. Film should say the rest.
