The conventional wisdom before the game was that the Trogan pass defense was vulnerable, while the Bruin run defense was our weak point. But any fan of this team knows that the more something makes sense, the less likely we are to do it. What could we really expect out of this game? A win? Not so certain for the first time in the the Mora era. There was also the notion that Mora's teams tend to follow 'big' wins with unimpressive performances. A habit that has often led to losses.
That being said, Bruin fans had reason to be optimistic after the win in Utah.
