What’s Bruin Show – Episode 106 – UCLA Football and the Stanford Situation

In episode 106 of the What’s Bruin Show we recap UCLA Football’s misadventures with Stanford, preview the Arizona game and welcome back an old friend… The Sport Godfather, Jim Bendat.

UCLA Football lost to Stanford for the 9th time in a row. We saw it and we cannot unsee it.

The Bruins dropped a heartbreaker last week at the Rose Bowl despite dominating for the majority of the game. UCLA was leading 13-9 late in the 4th quarter, but they allowed two Stanford touchdowns in the last minute to lose 22-13.

Sure it was harsh, but we pulled through. We dissect everything from offense to defense to special teams to playing conservative. We talk about what worked, what didn’t and what this means for the future.

We then get into the Game That Will Be and preview Arizona.

The Wildcats are 2-2, just like UCLA. They also lost a close game to a ranked opponent as they were beaten by Washington in overtime last weekend. So like the Bruins, they are going to try and avoid a two-game losing streak.

Can UCLA establish a run game and use certain players in the right situation? Will the Bruin defense be able to limit dual threat-quarterback Brandon Dawkins? Will Josh Rosen get the ball in the end zone? Will the Wildcat defense finally show some fight?

We tell you, America!

We also welcome back a friend of the show,
