UCLA REPORT CARD
RESULT: USC 28, UCLA 14
RECORD: 4-8
WEEK 12 GPA: C-

QUARTERBACK
Richard Brehaut wasn’t awful, but have to feel like he could’ve done so much much more against suspect USC pass defense.
C-

RUNNING BACKS
I don’t care if Johnathan Franklin fumbles every time he touches the ball, there’s ZERO reason for giving him one carry in second half.
C-

WIDE RECEIVERS
Dropped touchdown by Taylor Embree sullied what was an other-wise decent night.
D+

OFFENSIVE LINE
Expected more out of offensive line featuring four senior starters 12 games into season, even against talented Trojan defensive line.
D

DEFENSIVE LINE
David Carter, Cassius Marsh looked impressive in pass rush, but little else from front four.
C-

LINEBACKERS
Akeem Ayers – three tackles, .5 tackle-for-loss – continued recent run of baffling play. Is he still a first-rounder?
D

DEFENSIVE BACKS
Aside from Allen Bradford’s 47-yard screen touchdown, very impressive game by UCLA DBs, particularly Tony Dye (13 tackles, interception).
B+

SPECIAL TEAMS
Shame of all shames: Four USC games, zero field goal attempts for Kai Forbath.
C

COACHING
Offensive play-calling still confounding, but defensive game-plan good until fourth quarter.
C-
