86. Be on the lookout for injuries and their replacements

“Next man up!” You hate to hear it, but it is a part of football. Injuries will happen, but the important thing to look for is if the coaches have potential replacements ready to step in and take over. The obvious answer should be “yes”, but who knows what we will see with this unpredictable variable.

87. Secondary, defenders of the sky

Mora has prided himself on having a great secondary and that will continue this season. Look for the Bruins to disrupt everything that flies their way.

88. The KLS is going to rock you!

DE Keisean Lucier-South was a big time recruit in high school and it is about time he starts becoming a big time defensive end in college. KLS is coming for the quarterback, I can guarantee you that!

89. To power the ball or not to power the ball

After the failed experiment of running a power offense last season, will Fisch try and do the same? And if he does, will he be successful?

90. Tom Bradley’s dominating defense

Tom Bradley needed just one season to get the best out of his defense. The run D improved, the defensive backs were some of the best on the Pac-12 and his LB crew was quite active. Now if only the offense could stay on the field longer so the defense can rest. That would help Bradley’s boys stand out among the Pac-12.
