    BYU was in the game last night because Rosen played like a true freshman in the first half. Mora and his staff adjusted, pounded the rock, Rosen got better, UCLA's defense held, and UCLA won the game. UCLA should be, and was, scrutinized for nearly choking away a winnable game, but coaching adjustments, defense and a QB waking up were part of the final impression. Oregon has left no one outside of Eugene with those impressions.
    BYU's coaching cost them as well. They started playing for field goals instead of TD's. You can talk about the adjustments and how good the run game was (4 passes does not show a qb improving), but it was still against a mediocre BYU team that had no business being ranked. It might be a good win for a pac-12 team this year, but UCLA will lose 1 or 2 games this year in conference play.
    Adjusting the offense to unload a shaky QB, who then goes 4 of 5 with a 19 yard TD vs 3 picks in the first half definitely demonstrates coaching adjustment and QB improvement.
    I agree it shows coaching adjustments. They should have been pounding the ball the entire night and the game wouldn't have been close. I am not really sure you can say there was QB improvement as much as BYU having to defend the run. I don't know. I think Rosen will struggle a few more times this season.

    Coaching adjustments settled Rosen down. He looked much better once the load was off his shoulders, his play improved significantly after that. Credit him and/or the adjustments, the result is the same.

    I agree, all I am trying to say is that the QB position might not be as strong as some people were making it out to be after the first two games (i.e. the final piece to the puzzle). I don't think Rose has it all "figured out" now. He will still make poor decisions in other games and play like a freshman.

    Meh. Oregon made a similar adjustment in the second quarter, which amounted to simply reminding Georgia State that they had no business being on the same field as Royce Freeman. It made Lockie go from dreck to adequate statistically, but it didn't change his weaknesses any more than that drive changed Rosen's.

    The sad fact is that Goff is probably the only half-decent QB in the Pac-12. But since like any list Cal is too high there, it's probably better and less flagable to point out that Perkins and Freeman are the best QBs on the west coast right now.

    Oregon wins the division with ease.

    I'm not sure they win the conference title game though.

    Great 1 point win over BYU as always. Before you brag about BYU, just remember they beat 1-2 Nebraska on a Hail Mary, and a no longer good Boise team on a 4th down Hail Mary type throw. Oregon is winning the conference again, then will get plungered in their BCS non playoff bowl game

    You have wins over Eastern and Georgia State.

    Shut the fuck up.
    you?
