UCLA Turns A Corner To Slam Right Into Stanford
Well we have seen this movie before. Bruins travel up to Bay Area to suffer yet another disspiriting loss that have become the norm in this program's recent history. The final score was 16-24 in favor of Stanford but in reality the game never really felt close. Here is the box score. After two...
BN Gameday Roundup: Bruins Set For Stanford's Power Attack?
Just few more hours to go till our kickoff. I think we have done a pretty good job of exhausting the various story lines around this game in last two weeks. The game day stories both from the LA and Bay Area newspapers don't really offer up anything new this morning. Still might as well go through...
Pregame Guesses: Stanford
Not sure why I'm having trouble coming up with the Pregame Guesses for Stanford. I thought about going with a joke: How many Stanford professors does it take to change a light bulb? Eleven. One to change the light bulb and ten to co-author the paper. But it's not really that funny. I thought about...
Spaulding Roundup: More Notes, Quotes On Stanford Game

Over at College Sports Hotline (a San Jose Mercury News blog) Jon Wilner (Brian Dohn's predecessor at the Daily News) provides his scouting report to beat Jim Harbaugh's Stanford: To beat Stanford, you must 1) kick away from Chris Owusu, 2) limit turnovers and 3) contain Toby Gerhart. No. 1 is...
Spaulding Roundup: Getting Ready For An Old Fashioned Slugfest At The Farm
The more I think about this weekend's game the more it feels like our guys are getting ready for a Big-10 style slugfest in Palo Alto. It's probably not a coincidence since we are going to be taking on a team coached by someone with classic Big-10 roots, who is putting together a team Bo...

So we all had fun watching football games from all over the country and within the conference yesterday. I get that lot of people are now really eager and want to think about the big picture in terms of how the season is going to end for UCLA as the conference seems to be well "wide open": The...
Spaulding Roundup: Special Teams, Recruiting Trips & Other Football Notes
One of the biggest issues emerging from last weekend's win over Kansas State was the play of our special teams.
