Bear Down Wildcats

Do I see a comeback by UCLA.

That throw...wow...

31-23 give up a safety. good idea or bad idea.

LOL

Well it look like ASU get the upset win over UCLA.

That will be the funniest play I will ever see. He carry the whole defense to the endzone. good run.

OK

Can't look bad when you suck.

Reality check, maybe?

Oh no, don't kid yourself............It's bad anyway you want to slice it.

I'm not. Only UofA fans thought the Cats would finish better than4th in the south. This team without Anu Just flat out sucks.

I knew ucla want that good last week. They just lost to a very mediocre asu team. This UofA team is maybe the worst in the RR era.

ASSU actually has a D line that can play.

I agree completely. UCLA looked liked they had some good wins until you saw how the teams they beat played against other competition. We played UCLA tough (self-inflicted wounds notwithstanding)... it told us more about them than us.

Many seemed to think it was a good sign that we hung with a BCS playoff caliber team. Umm... No.

As disappointing as tonight's loss is, it should not be surprising - especially given our key injuries. We would not beat them at full strength, but certainly would have made it more competitive.

Anyone still thinking that UCLA is better than Stanford? I though they were the 3rd best team in the South... I over-estimated them.

Ucla has lost 7 times, at home as a ranked team, under Mora

The consistency in the RR era is letting pedestrian QB's look like world-beaters.

3-3-5!

Graham runs the exact same D as Casteel, but blitzes balls out 8/10 plays.

ASU lists their D style as the 3-3-5, but the reality is they line up in that formation maybe 5% of the time. They use a Devilbacker which is basically a hybrid linebacker with his hand in the dirt playing end.

The devil backer is not a lineman, so it's still a 3 DL front. He's a more athletic player that lines up on the line. We do the same with Scooby.

That's the flexibility of the 3-3-5.

The Devilbacker is lined up almost exclusively on the line, and the rest of the line shifts over. Scooby moves pretty much all over the field. I tend to think ASU's defense is more a 4-3 or 4-2-5 with one of those DL being a LB tasked with doing the job of a DE. I guess you could even say they run a 3-4 as they have 4 players on the field that are LB's (devil, spur, will, and sam).

It is very difficult to recruit DL for the 3-3-5, and ASU has had no problems in that regard. Are they just using their DL differently than UA?
