two fade/corner passes in a row on 1st and goal was a real headscratcher.

I am very happy with what Mazzone put together. We had some execution problems at times that caused us to stall out. UCLA also made nice adjustments to start overplaying the short routes. We should be able to make teams pay that do that to us if the OL continues to gel and improve.

I really like Keith Ford and hope he is our number 1 back going forward. Our TE whiffed on his block where Ford got stopped on the short yardage play and was injured.

Knight was good enough to win. He has the arm strength to get away with throwing while he is backing up but he is going to throw picks from time to time doing that. I doubt the staff will be able to break that habit since he is already in his 5th year of eligibility.

I was surprised we didn't throw a couple of more short passes to Williams out of the backfield. But we may see some more of him this week. Particularly if Ford is dinged up.

It made sense to have Ford in there on 4th and goal in OT to sell the fake since he probably has more power between the tackles, but I like getting the ball to Williams in space as a change of pace. If he can pass block well enough, I like him better as a 3rd down back for us.

What happened to White? After Ford got injured I figured we would see him again but I don't thin I saw him outside of the beginning of the game.

dont know if he was injured, but he was very ineffective with the carries he got. He just ran right into the pile and showed no change of direction. most disappointing player on Offense cause many thought he was better than ford in HS.

With so many people wondering, I thought I'd just pass along that I heard that he left the game due to cramps and that the Ags' starting left tackle didn't suffer any sort of significant injury that will hamper him moving forward. Good news for the o-line and the most experienced blocker Jim Turner has up front.
