If you like numbers, here are the relevant stats from ESPN.com

At first glance it looks like Brehaut had a much better day...same completion percentage but Brehaut had double the average.

The rushing stats are basically the sacks and scrambles..I know Prince had at least one designed option for a few yards and 2 QB sneaks for nothing, so if you take those out, you get 5 carries for 20 yards. Brehaut did not scramble, those 4 runs are sacks. So if you add (or subtract) the rushing numbers from the passing yardage and lump in the carries you get the yards per pass play.

UCLA called 30 pass plays for Prince, for a total of 101 yards = 3.37 yards per play.

UCLA called 14 pass plays for Brehaut, for a total of 40 yards = 2.86 yards per play. If you read the other post I put up with plays charted for 4 games, the average was about 4 yards per pass play, so both were sub-par on Saturday.

The reason Brehaut's average is much lower is that he took 4 sacks compared to the one that Prince took, even though Prince was in for about double the pass plays.

Brehaut looked good throwing the ball at times, but so did Prince - both were able to throw the ball when there was no pressure. However once Oregon began rushing 6 or 7 things changed - those sacks really stand out to me though, basically a sack every 3 or 4 plays. 

Kevin Prince

On this play below you can see UCLA has two separate concepts - double slants to the bottom and a high-low on the top. Keep this play in mind as Brehaut runs pretty much the same thing at the end of the game. Oregon rushes 7 this time - they don't cover the WR at the top of the screen, and man up against the double slants (a great man-beater). Prince has 6 guys to block 7 - there will be one "hot" defender who is unblockable, but Prince recognizes it and hits Austin on the slant.

Video of two plays - on the first, Prince has a blitz through the middle, and hits Moline out of the backfield on an angle route to set up a first down and the goalline series. He had a WR on a dig over the middle at the goalline, but it looks like he sees the blitz and hits Moline underneath (hard to tell though). The second is the play diagrammed above where he hits Austin.

Richard Brehaut

This play is almost the same as the one where Prince hit Austin on the slant over the middle (above). The TV announcers make a big deal about how the TE was open in the end zone, but he did also have the slants open on the backside, where the blitz came from. It's a similar look that Prince got, although in Brehaut's defense, the back released on a route instead of blocking, so he had 5 blockers for 7 defenders. It's not exactly a fair comparison, but it was a similar route concept down the field, similar look from the Oregon defense (off-man on both WRs, blitzing 7, wide open middle of the field), and Prince was able to deliver while Brehaut did not. If you watch the video above, Prince was given much better protection while Brehaut had a man in his face almost immediately. Prince takes his drop and get the ball out, while Brehaut drops, sees the blitzer, and steps up instead of throwing.

Here is the video of two plays (video is screwed up at the end but you can get the point). On the first you can see a play where Oregon sent 5 and Brehaut had Austin over the middle in the area vacated by the blitz, although it looks like Brehaut was supposed to read something else and didn't see the blitz coming. He takes a sack and an ugly fumble. The second is the play diagrammed above.

Again, it is really easy to pick on the kid and point these things out. Not to say that Brehaut did not look good against Oregon - I just don't think that Prince looked all that bad. I think that he was more consistent and looked better under pressure. Neither guy got great protection throughout the game, (looking at the tape, some of our backs were blown up when they were asked to block), but I think that Prince looked better when Oregon brought the blitz. Brehaut looked great when he had time to throw, but this isn't 7-on-7 passing league. The fact that Brehaut took 4 sacks in only 14 plays is a pretty big deal to me, those actually add up a lot, especially when your offense isn't rolling up and down the field.
