To be fair to the LAT, Stanford is #2 in the country in Avg. YPC at 8.03.  And I would argue Stanford is really #1 because #1 Miami, has a 9.5 YPC against two middling Group of 5 and an FCS team.

The OL may not have been great at pass blocking, in part because the QB position was weak until Costello came in, but they have been getting in done in the run game.  Maybe this LAT writer didn't see UCLA play Texas A&M? 

BTW, was it me, or did anyone else think the pass protection was better with Costello in the game than the previous two weeks? Pocket presence?  Sees things faster?  OL feeling more confident in guy behind them?
