The Bruins need to start doing some more work on defense as a unit. This game will be a test to see where the Bruins are as a team itself, in this non-conference game. Their secondary is good, but their defensive line will be tested with BYU starting Quarterback Taysum Hill. If they are going to have a chance to win this game they need to contain Hill. He is a mobile quarterback who can also be a true quarterback and pass from the pocket. In essence I would consider him a dual-threat quarterback. Many people will disagree with me because he has been injured a lot in his career. He always keeps getting back up stronger and is a fighter. The UCLA Bruins must keep him in the pocket where he cannot be mobile, therefore the Bruins have a chance to win the game. Containment is Key 1.
