Well it was fun at times but the fun we had with the offense scoring 28 second-half points was ultimately thwarted by the fact that the UCLA Bruins defensive unit struggled to stop anything the Colorado Buffaloes were doing on Saturday.
When taking a look at it now that the dust has settled, the 48-42 outcome could’ve been much worse.
Two of UCLA’s touchdowns were coverage or run-lane lapses for Colorado including QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s 65-yard touchdown run to start the third quarter. The other was clearly an all-out blitz near the end of the first half that saw tight end Greg Dulcich running free and wide open for a 52-yard touchdown reception.
