If we’ve learned anything over the last two weeks, it’s that Chast Griffin is capable of starting a quarterback for the Bruins. Sure, DTR has the ability to throw it further downfield, but what good is that if it isn’t accurate enough to hit his receiver? So, it will be interesting to see who gets the start tonight.
QB controversies aside, if the Bruins can win tonight, it will be the first time in the Chip Kelly era that the Bruins will have more wins than losses. Will they move forward? Or, will they fall back to a losing record?
Let’s look at the game time weather forecast.
Game Time Weather Forecast
It will be a cool and clear night in Tempe. The temperature will be about 56° degrees at kickoff. While there will be a slight breeze, it shouldn’t have much effect on the game.
Look for it to continue cooling off as the game progresses. The temperature should be about 52° around halftime and will drop to around 50 by the end of the game.

The entire offense seems to have shifted with DTR back. Kelly only called two run plays that entire drive, which is very different from what has made UCLA successful.
Sure sounds like it. I can't get the foxsports.com feed to work here at work, so I've been stuck on the radio feed, but he's been efficient and sounds like he's only made one bad decision/throw. That's the kind of DTR we need full time.
Defense looks a little out of synch.
SACK!
Man, we should have started Griffin.

We look like we have had 3 weeks off. Terrible tackling. Felton must’ve been hurt more than they let on.
OK, I'll take a missed field goal. Better tackling on that part of the drive.
Man, that was a pick waiting to happen. Hurt bailed him out.
Nice. Delon Hurt again!
Looks like we’re using the passing game to set up the run. I didn’t expect that. I figured we’d come out pounding the run.
Finally made a good tackle.
Aaaaand one more.
Herm punting to win the game. Nice.
All right that band zoom is lit!
For sure!
Looks like a hamstring.
Crap.
Felton must be hurt more than we thought.
Classis UCLA junk. Good one for Barr-Mira though.
I didn’t know he’s related to Anthony Barr but the radio guys said he is.
Oh, Anthony Barr. That destruction of Matt Barkley is almost my favorite football play ever. That was beautiful on 11 different levels.
DTR looking strong.
ASU is rusty for sure.
DTR!
Outstanding half for DTR.

Out kicker tripping their return man saved a TD.
