DeShaun Foster drags the Bruins into another embarrassment 

The year 2 of the era of Deshaun Foster began at the UCLA on Saturday evening with tarmac seats, yawning fans and a frightening question.

What if this guy really can’t train?

Having endured the numerous growing pains of Foster in a first season of 5-7, the faithful of Bruin hoped that this second postponement would reveal it as the leader inspiring that sports director Martin Jarmond has promised when he surprisingly chosen him to replace Chip Kelly.

Still pending. Become uglier. Seriously worried.

In a first season’s first game which was completely devoid of “energy and passion”, which Jarmond said that Foster owned, the Bruins lost 43-10 against Utah in a game that ended with the Rose Bowl showing only one sign of life.

This came from fans of the other team, who filled the Pasadena evening with the song of the taunts of “Come Utah”.

Bruins were never there. Bruins have never had the opportunity. It was terrible. It was embarrassing.

“Many things to learn from … it won’t be easy,” said Foster.

It seemed simple enough for the UTES, which marked their first three possessions with 75, 60 and 49 yards, which made it 20-0 before the second three-minute quarter.

“We went there and were struck in the mouth,” said quarter-Arrière Nico Iamaleava.

One might think that $ 2 million would be sufficient to buy a return, dear Iamaleava making its first appearance after storming Tennessee last spring when the volunteers would not pay.

Still bad. During this first night, Iamaleave was very too paid, overthrowing countless receivers and completely really really a pretty night, a hit with a touch of 19 meters at Anthony Woods at the end of the second trimester which made 20-7.

The Bruins have never approached, allowing the second half -time touched training of 21 pieces – 21 pieces! – and 10 games in the middle of a wave of missed plated and blown missions.

In the fourth quarter, the little populated pink bowl had become even darker and gloomy, and you must wonder: how desperate a program should be if it can only attract 35,032 to the most beautiful football stadium in the country a holiday weekend?

This despair: Bruins have more than doubled in total meters, exceeded 482-220. This included the authorization of 286 yards rushing to the old CAP-12 utes which, it turns out, should probably have to go to the Big Ten instead of these withers.

“We just played a good team, that’s all,” said Foster – and when when someone said that about his team?

A game down and Ucla already looks and feels cooked. The whole momentum of the last season of Kelly’s 8-5 – Do you remember this Bow’s victory over Boise State? – was lost. All hope that Foster can really reverse the share of this disappears slowly under a multitude of humiliations.

Foster began its first season last fall, including the calendar and the calendar of this season is even more difficult, with the potential of things to become even more in disorder. They have matches in Indiana, Michigan State and Ohio State. They have home matches against Penn State, Washington and Nebraska. And they end up at the USC.

At this rate, they will have the chance to finish 5-7, the date on which the chronometer three years planned for the mandate of Foster will start to check loudly.

But give a credit to Foster for one thing – he may have seen it coming. Recently, he set up a litany of new media restrictions which essentially prohibited journalists from seeing his program more closely.

Foster must have known what this closer look would reveal. Indeed, this could be a team that deserves to be hidden.

And the sacred thing is that it was supposed to be so different. Defense had all the new starters. The offense was coordinated by the New Indiana Whiz Tino Sunseri.

And then there was Imaleava, who gave birth to the history of Nile by being the first unofficial holding of university football before being part of the first unofficial trade in university football.

After overlooking the fact that they hired a renowned leader who had released in his former team, the Bruins hired Imaleava and turned their back on the quarter-Arrière Joey Aguilera, a move that ended up with him going to Tennessee.

During the victory of the volunteer season against Syracuse on Saturday, Aguilera succeeded 16 for 28 with three affected and no interception plus 34 yards on the ground.

Iamaleava succeeded 11 for 22 with a touchdown and an interception plus 47 yards on the ground.

“I personally have to be better,” said Iamaleava.

His first throw was behind an open receiver. His third throw sailed above the head of a receiver that sprints the field for what would have been a safe touch. He ended the first possession of the UCLA with a poor fourth place decision to throw a covered receiver instead of opting for an open receiver on the other side of the field.

The quarter-arre seemed to find its pace in the second quarter, leading the Bruins to the first hit of the season, Perfect Pass in Woods. But his momentum did not last, and he finished his night admitting: “Bring back to the drawing board”.

Hoping that it is joined by Foster, who must scribble a different scenario. Something. Nothing. And so on.
