Costello and Mills, if they see the field, are immobilized with injury, about half their full strength, and very susceptible to further injury given their lack of OL. Our best chance at beating Stanford is to keep their defense on the field.

Part of what's so wrong with UCLA this season (one of the MANY things) is putting the program on the back of a guy, Dorian Thompson Robinson, that before enrolling had only played QB for a SINGLE year. Clearly DTR was a recruit that should've been brought in as a PROJECT. Not a savior.
