Best two-play stretch this year.

With the colorado defense focusing on Shaq, Miles steps back and fires a shot to Joshua Perkins going right up the seam.

Again with colorado cheating toward the line of scrimmage, Miles fakes a toss to Shaq, bootlegs the other way and hits Dante Pettis for a touchdown.

Great misdirection and using the defense's aggressiveness against them. Very Boise State'ish.
 
The two drives where Campbell fumbled at the one followed by the TD to Pettis were the best consecutive drives all season.
 
This was a new wrinkle in this game for the offense. I had not seen them run a pop pass all season and that is what the scored the TD on to Pettis (And if Miles had thrown a better ball leading Campbell more earlier in the game on a pop pass they probably would have had a 25 yard gain or so). The Perkins play up the middle was also a great read by Miles to see the LB'er cheat up, well executed.
 
So you're saying Miles doesn't suck?

For two plays. They were great calls, and he executed them. Good for him. But neither play required decision making or a complex read. Just pivot and fire.

Look, his stats were decent. But if you don't think we're devoid of a QB that plays consistent, takes care of the football, and makes good decisions, then you're going against the opinion of people that know a lot more about this sport than either one of us.

I'm also beginning to think that if you have an effective passing game, it prevents a defense from loading the box.

Ha ha...I said "loading the box." Ha ha.

You're just "beginning" to think that? Or maybe you're being sarkaistic ..

The latter, minus the man boobs.

Look, after Shaq's performance ucla is going to cheat toward the line of scrimmage unless/until Miles proves he can consistently complete passes beyond 5 yards...oh yah, and our OLs prove they can protect him.

The bonus to this though is that IF we can hit a couple of big plays, they will lead to easy scores for a team that has trouble sustaining and finishing drives.

That's a 100% Mora type of move IMO ... Meat will have his guys jumping up and down yapping it up like the thugs that they are (el oh el) ... and when we hit a couple, should loosen things up a bit.

The other thing I want to see is Shaq run over Jack ... and you know that that is going to happen.
 
Everyone likes to talk about stacking the box against us but Stanford shut our offense down with a formula almost completely made up of soft nickel defense...

Our offense isnt good enough to sustain actual drives for very long, If Im UCLA Im sitting in nickel defense all night, putting Jack on Shaq, and making UW have 10+ play drives to score every time.

UW is perfectly capable of killing its own drives in the foot on their own.

Can't see it happening.

This. Somehow Miles struggles have made some here think that teams put 8 or 9 in the box to shut down the run. Some of the analysis is fucking retarded. They don't have to do anything but play their base defense to stop us. The only thing the defense needs to worry about is getting beat deep. Teams aren't worried about 3 yard runs and Miles isn't good enough to pick apart a defense. If you make UW earn it, they struggle to move down the field. Since Pac 10 play began, how many 10+ play drives has UW had?

It's almost like when your offense establishes the run as a worry, you get people open on play-action.
