I have head that one important fact is that UCLA switched to an entirely one gap approach against Stanford. Previously, they were supposedly a mix but mostly two gap. That have stuck with that plan tonight. It is clear that it fits their personnel much better. We probably weren't really prepared for that, and it undoubtedly affected our OL play. It is also probable that the freshmen aren't reacting as quickly to the man in the gap instead of right in front of them. On top of that, if the guy in the gap slants in a way you aren't prepared for, you block nobody. That happened against UCLA, frequently.

So, maybe it is a bit of schizophrenia mixed with an unexpected defensive approach that called on our OL to react in a way they were not really ready for and/or not good at. We may not be out of the woods there yet.
