Run defense showed up. I was very impressed.

It was better but not there yet. Lots of good run stops but UCLA was able to run pretty effectively at times. Yards lost to sacks count in that number and make it look better than it was. I think we had 5 sacks.

<150rush yards and ~4.4 ypc on non QB rushes.

What I liked is lots of different players got involved the entire game. I saw many players hot and cold at different parts of the game, but we kept putting in different people and they would all get involved. Hopefully, they can grow with the easy game next week and we are ready to play in our early SEC games.

Slacker: What you are saying is true, however I think not seeing the D get gashed time and time again is a significant development. Not to mention some ferocious tackling as well.

They flowed to the ball extremely well.

And Jamabo/Olorunfunmi have a combined career 6.0 ypc. Granted, they were both just freshmen last year, but these weren't scrub backs.

Little misleading because sacks count as negative rushing yards in college. They averaged about 4.7 YPC on actual running plays. Not great, but decent considering those were good backs.
Still need to improve before facing Auburn though.

we still have problems fitting. I think most occurred when Alaka was out. He played 51 of 89 snaps but that one really long drive from their 1 to our 5 that crossed 1st/2nd quarters he didn't play at all. I noticed we made several fit errors on that drive and got gashed for two long runs

i dont remember them having much success between the tackles. seems like most of their big runs came off tackle when myles and daeshon werent in the game. almost as if they were targeting cunningham, that was disturbing.

they had a 31-yard run right up the middle in the early 2nd quarter that George (who was at Mike) lost his gap.
That drive they had three 10+ yard runs but like you say, two were outside the tackles (both on Hall's side). I don't really remember them running at Cunningham but may not have noticed. Hall and Garrett played an awful lot of snaps
Overall they had a lot more success vs our backups. But that shouldn't exactly be surprising. We need to develop more depth though. We can't keep playing guys that many snaps.

Pretty impressive showing. They had 2 All-Pac 12 OTs who will most certainly play in the NFL and they also utilized a TE and a 300# FB to open up holes for a "5*" RB.
