Stanford's run defense against Vandy was deficient (240 yards given up against a subpar rushing offense).  The problem with UCLA is that they have a running QB (DTR) and a legitimate threat in the backfield (Charbonnet).  If our defense doesn't step up already in the first half and rein in the rushing attack, we could be in for a long afternoon.  I predict a halftime hole (24-14) that we don't quite manage to climb out of by the end of the game.  31-28 Bruins.

Hope I am wrong by a mile.  Anderson should know DTR in the meantime and have a few antidotes.  Let's hope he has the defense prepared.  31-28 Cardinal would be a much better result.  But for that, McKee and the D need to deliver.
