Mike Fafaul did a good job leading the UCLA Football team into battle last week against Washington State. Yes, the Bruins lost and yes Fafaul threw a critical late interception on a drive that could have tied the game, but if it wasn’t for Fafaul (and few receivers and the defense), the Bruins would have lost by a bigger margin.
The point is, with no one thinking Fafaul could be as efficient as Rosen, he came in did a valiant job steering the offense though the treacherous seas of the Palouse. Of course there are still major issues with the offense — like the run game — but that is not on Fafaul.
