The UCLA Bruins didn't look like the dynamic offense we have come to know in their 28-20 nail biting win against Virginia, but now they get to right the ship against the Memphis Tigers.
The Bruins dropped to No. 11 in the AP rankings and needed three defensive touchdowns to top Virginia. Coach Jim Mora spoke about the team’s progression and added that having a defense that can preform when needed is not a bad thing.
"Obviously, if you can stop the run and put the ball in the end zone three times on defense it's a special day," Mora said. "But, at the same time our standards are so high. I think that we can be a very, very good defense, but anything that we give up we are going to take it and dissect it.”
Heisman Trophy hopeful and potential NFL draft first-round pick Brett Hundley is looking to rebound as well as he looked nothing like the player that we are accustomed to. Hundley threw for 242 yards and ran for another 39 yards and a touchdown.
UCLA and Memphis have never played before but the Bruins have won eight of their last nine non-conference home games compared to the Tigers who have dropped 14 in a row against ranked opponents.
