Let's give UCLA some love. Neuheisel, Norm Chow and the Bruins deserve it.
Things were looking awfully bad for the baby blues after losses to K-State to open the season and Stanford to the tune of 35-0.
Now you can rationalize the victory by focusing on the injury to Houston QB Case Keenum that took him out of the game. Yet I don't believe most people understand that the Bruins completely dominated the Cougs in every phase of the game and were rolling toward an impressive victory (up 21-3 on the way to another score) with or without that unfortunate turn of events.
"We watched so much film throughout the week that we pretty much knew everything Houston was trying to do," said safety Rahim Moore."With that type of offense being so dynamic, we didn't let it confuse us. You know what's funny? Nobody gave us a chance. They said the defense couldn't make plays. They were giving us all kinds of letter grades that were bad, and we took it personal."
Remember the name Patrick Larimore. The guy was all over the place on Saturday, leading the Bruins with 11 tackles (three tackles-for-loss), two pass break-ups and a forced fumble.
