A couple of players from Fresno State’s backyard represent potential trouble Saturday at UCLA.
In two games UCLA has rushed for 273 yards, averaging just 3.4 per play. Of that total, 74 came on one play. Nearly half of their rushing plays, 40 of 81, have gone for just 2 yards or less including 20 tackles for loss and 11 sacks.
Rushing the football on first down, they have averaged an awful 2.3 yards on 38 plays, which obviously sets up a lot of second- and third-and-long situations.
So, where exactly is the trouble in that?
