Check out the latest batch of weekly answers…

1) Even if the season goes down the drain do you think both Moore and Ayers leave early? – brucam09
Ask this again in December. Can’t really tell you either way right now. With the way they’re playing, I’m not sure either one is a first-round pick, so who knows?

2) At this point do you feel 1-11 is probably a realistic number? – Trubruin
No way. I still say four wins at least.

3) What in your opinion ails this team? – Nick
At this point, about three dozen issues. The coaches don’t seem to have faith in the players, who haven’t given the coaches much to have faith about. Youth at key positions that cannot be understated. A hurt quarterback who missed several practices in a new offense that relies heavily on timing. Injuries at key positions that, while maybe not seeming devastating – re: Datone Jones – actually have been very crucial. There’s too many more to list.

4) So what was the problem with all of the defensive substitutions in the first half against Stanford? One of the reports said Neuheisel blamed the refs for letting Stanford get away with something. Can you elaborate? – Jungleland
When a team runs a no-huddle offense, the opposition is supposed to have time to make substitutions, with the referee guarding the ball. UCLA got an illegal substitution penalty on Stanford’s first scoring drive, and the team had to waste a timeout trying to get subs in. The Pac-10 acknowledged the mistake in officiating, the Los Angeles Times reported.

5) As much as I like Prince and want him to succeed, his lack of practice time and lingering injuries are hurting him and the team. Presuming the coaches are aware of both of these issues concerning Prince, is their decision to start him the last 2 weeks a reflection of their unrelenting faith in him or their hesitancy to give the car keys to Brehaut who is talented but still apparently hasn’t mastered adequate management of the offense? Or both? Or none of the above? – Sandiegobruinfan
You really can’t have one without the other, so I’ll say both.
