gbruin, Bruins Nation: My biggest concern was our difficulty stopping the run. The Bruins, especially the front 7, have been pretty good at run defense this season, but ASU was able to exploit some things against our D line and run effectively. This opened up their passing game which isn't typically their best weapon and that really kept our D off balance. That allowed ASU to put up a lot of points and put pressure on the Bruins offense to match scores all day long, when they could have put the Sun Devils away much sooner with a couple defensive stops in the second half.

Andrew Abbott has been a sure catcher of punts in the past and even though he is a valuable commodity on defense, it would be beneficial for the UCLA to put him in punt returner role with his sole purpose being to catch the darn thing.
