BYU @ UCLA - Open Thread

BYU's defense is not that imposing. Seriously. Rosen has made so many bad decisions, it's laughable.

A lot of QB's make "bad decisions" against BYU. Maybe their defense has something to do with it.

I know that Rudock isn't very good but Harbaugh said in his post game pressed that the wind was a big factor today. Let's hope it's a calm/clear day next week vs BYU.

It's Ruddock who's got issues.

The key is Rudock. That makes us all exceedingly nervous.

We should have had at least 40 points if Harbaugh wasn't so conservative in this game. We already scored 17 points at Utah and BYU has a worse defense and it's at home.

was very entertaining. A lot of turnovers by Rosen. 2 young QB's against aggressive defenses should make for a low scoring second half.

The O-line is very pushy after the whistle.

Rudock and the receivers will have to step up next week.

UCLA's defense is good, but BYU's offense isn't particularly explosive.

beat Duke today... Duke not as strong as last couple years but not nearly the doormat that they were historically. Also Stanford was able to do nothing against NW, and Stanford just put up tons of points at USC. A win against NW is looking less and less likely in my opinion.

I think it will be a fight. The game will come down to who turns the ball over more/less. Just like next week vs BYU.

Kevin Hogan's inconsistency is a big part of that. Northwestern is likely a good team, but I wouldn't assume that they beat the same Stanford who beat USC today.

is a solid team, IMO. Yet, they don't scare me as they seem to be beating teams that are playing their worst game vs them. I'm not saying that we're absolutely going to win that game (I'd call it a push) but they don't scare me. I feel like they're on a roller-coaster and they've reached the peak, soon to fall back to what their talent/experience dictates. They rarely beat themselves, squeeze every ounce of ability out of kids and tend to put their guys in the best position to win but they're still Northwestern. I have no illusions of them being a top-4 B1G team. Yet, I don't think we are so.....?

UCLA will need Rosen to complete passes to guys in blue jerseys eventually but BYU run defense is definitely not great.

That head bob doesn't seem legal. Not sure what the rule is, but it doesn't seem like it should be allowed.
