[quote author=DC link=topic=6999.msg53415#msg53415 date=1353820716]We seemed to have some trouble covering their 6'-6" TE.  How would you defend him?

Hound that TE's QB within an inch of his sanity :)



Or, figure out the kind of routes that UCLA uses for Fauria (and situational context)--make sure your defensive players know exactly how Fauria will be used and cover those routes appropriately.  Can't do much about the jump balls, but if Hundley gets picked off a couple of times looking for Fauria, I would guess UCLA stops throwing so often to him.

The jump balls to Fauria seemed to be one of the weapons that Mora put back in his pocket after the first series or so (where they worked extremely well). I don't remember those being used much (if at all) the rest of the game. I'm sure we'll see a lot more of those on Friday.
