Grading the cougars: C-
Quarterback: D
The road got to Lobbestael and he struggled, missing his targets by wide margins at times.
Running backs: C
The holes were there off and on, but the cuts were not. There were missed chances for long runs.
Receivers: B
Not only did Gibson have his usual effort, but Anderson stepped up and was a deep threat.
Offensive line: C-
With so many injuries and guys playing different positions, overall effort was there.
Defensive line: C
They did an excellent job stuffing the run, but pass rush was nonexistent.
Linebackers: B
The group had five tackles for loss, though they weren’t able to get to the QB when they blitzed.
Defensive backs: C-
The run support was admirable, but without a pass rush UCLA receivers had too much time to run free.
Coaching: C-
The defense came to play, but the Bruins flummoxed WSU’s Lobbestael.
Special teams: C+
Kickoff returns excelled once again and Forrest pinned UCLA down often.
