Normally, one would not brag about giving up 423.0 yards per game, but when it is 60.7 yards less than what you were giving up last year, one should revel in the improvements. This is where the UCLA football team is at this point.
The Bruins were giving up 483.7 yards per game last season. That is an ungodly number that put them at 121st out of 130 teams, so to shave off some of that fat is something to be proud of, especially when 2 out of the 4 teams they have played are in the AP Top 25 (3 out of 4 teams have received votes).
