UPDATE: Brandon Huffman On BN Football Podcast

Today is a treat on the BruinsNation football podcast because we welcome Scout.com's (as well as BruinReportOnline.com) Brandon Huffman onto the show as our guest to give us the lowdown on the Bruins, the Pac-10 and especially, recruiting. If you don't know of Brandon, he's the foremost recruiting expert on the West Coast and I don't think there are many people out there who knows UCLA football as well as Brandon. He is kind enough to join us and give us all the key information heading into UCLA's Pac-10 opener this weekend.

As is always the case, you can listen live by clicking play above or you can listen afterward by clicking play or by checking out iTunes. If you can't listen live, give it a listen at any time after right above or a few hours after it's over, you can grab it from the iTunes store and add it to your iPhone or iPod.

UPDATE: Just wrapped up the podcast. This was a long one, but Brandon was awesome and really packed the show with a lot of information. Among the things we discussed were:

  • CRN and CNC's aggressiveness, or lack thereof, in playcalling
  • Can anyone make sense of the receiver's horrific outing in Kansas
  • How good is Brett Hundley and how big of a get he was for UCLA
  • Where are the Bruins focusing on now in recruiting and a couple of Brandon's favorite under the radar guys the Bruins could snap up
  • Some great talk about comparing how Harbaugh has built the Stanford program

We got to all of that with Brandon and more, plus Josh and I had our regular talk about last week's K-State game and looked forward to this weekend' huge Stanford game. It was a ton of fun and a huge thanks to Brandon for joining us. Make sure to read his stuff at BruinReportOnline.com and also follow him on Twitter.

Remember, you can listen to the whole thing by clicking play above or take the podcast on the road with you by heading over to iTunes and downloading it to your iPhone or iPod.

I have a conference call at noon...

Would any of you guys mind asking him:
1. what he thinks UCLA’s biggest area of need is in recruiting
2. the biggest difference between CRN’s recruiting and CTS

I have my own opinions of course but curious to hear his. Thanks!

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

Should Brehaut have played?

(I say no.)

Is there a possible QB controversy?

Strategy Question

Last week Kansas St was effective running a ball control offense and had a major time of possession advantage against us. This strategy was employed against the Bruins, with much success, last season.

We know Stanford saw last weeks game and will scheme to stop our run. How do we keep them from holding the ball for 40 minutes this week? Short passes? Misdirection? What do you think will be effective against Stanford’s defense?

We'll address that

We started the game with the QB under center?

I’m 99.99% sure we started in shotgun? Did I miss something?

by captainqtp on Sep 9, 2010 5:39 PM PDT reply actions  

The very first series

Prince is under center, throws to Pressley, he drops the ball.
2nd down, Prince is under center, throws to Pressley again, he drops the ball again.
3rd down, Prince is under center, throws to I forget who, incomplete.

I stand corrected

I don’t know why I thought it was under center. I remember the drops better though.

The discussion from the hosts was critical and informative, and Brandon was an excellent guest.
