offensive line coach Hank Fraley believes in what he calls a fist mentality, five linemen curling together as one to form a more powerful entity.
Those lineman delivered several body blows to the Arizona defense Saturday, and the Bruins ran the ball the best they have this season. There were also some self-inflicted wounds.
UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen was sacked five times, twice more than he had been the previous three games combined. Rosen strayed outside the pocket on one play against the Wildcats and probably should have thrown the ball away, but the other sacks were largely because of protection breakdowns that led to unblocked defenders.
