26. Can they finally beat Stanford?

WELL CAN THEY?

27. Will penalties rear their ugly head again?

Last season was not the worst when it came to penalties, but penalties did rear their ugly head at several inopportune times last season. Let’s hope they continue to improve… and not have drive killing offsides. 2nd and 1 on the 2 yard line… FLAG!

28. How the team reacts if the Ls start piling up

Let us hope it does not happen, but if the losses start rolling in, can the Bruins adjust or will they, and the coaches check out?

29. Receiving game: wide or tight?

Several players are still familiar with the spread offense, but they are now also familiar with playing tighter in power schemes as they did last season. With Fisch I think we will probably see a lot of both.

30. Will UCLA have an identity this season?

With a new offense, Rosen returning from injury and a sense of determination, will UCLA find an identity for themselves or will they struggle to find their niche?
