I think this will be a very important issue, balanced by the pressure UCLA can bring on Hogan.
These are two QBs who generally do not handle pressure well; both have a hard time scrambling to pass and once they move tend to bug-out. Hundley makes some great plays doing that, but also gets sacked a lot (though he has improved to second most sacked QB in the Pac-12, tied for 110th in the country).
While Stanford has not been quite as sack happy this year as in the immediate past, they still mostly bring a lot of pressure (tied for 3rd Pac 12 in sacks, 10th nationally). But against Oregon it seemed we could get no pressure at all - certainly without blitzing - and look what happened to our defense there.
