More From UCLA Football
I quite like Kaufman’s work, and this is not meant to be a takedown of that article; on the contrary, I think Kaufman raises some interesting questions about UCLA Football that deserve to be examined at length.
My main objection is to comparing the 1999 quintet of Drew Bennett, JP Losman, Cory Paus, Ryan McCann, and Scott McEwan to the 2015 quartet-turned-triplet of Asiantii Woulard, Jerry Neuheisel, Mike Fafaul, and Josh Rosen. At first glance that older group looks like a bunch of evenly-matched, above average quarterbacks, where as the current trio are, (1) a career backup, (2) a walk-on, and, (3) the heavily recruited heir-apparent who’s assumed to be UCLA’s quarterback of the future.
