Getting Inside the Bruin Huddle

Attention USC defense:

First down: UCLA will run to the right. Second down: same. Third down: Pass. Fourth: Punt.

Passing: No tight ends used. No crossing patterns (Oops! Junior Taylor scored on one against Oregon. Maybe they’ll use a slant pattern again next year?)

Why use Marcedes Lewis and Tab Perry mismatches against shorter linebackers and safeties 10-15 yards downfield when you can run right all day long and get nowhere?

My 56-year-old wife noticed these patterns. I wonder if Pete Carroll will?

For all of you out there without a life, I certainly hope you will find something else to do rather than continue your irrational criticism of Karl Dorrell. Dorrell came to UCLA with a lack of quality players on both sides of the ball. He is about to enjoy his best recruiting class, and will be able to challenge for the Pac-10 title next year.

So please, take a deep breath, and attack someone else for a while, like Henry Bibby.
