More messages from Cash4Gold.com, TaxSlayer.com, and ShamWow on the FCS channels, which ended up being the most entertainng thing about this game.
I really don't know what to make out of UCLA at this point from this game alone, as I'm not sure Oregon State even had a gameplan. They run a 4-man bastardized version of the Princeton offense (we run a 3 man version of it for the most part) which relies on a lot of wing movement and slipping screens to get an open look at the hoop. Well, most of the time it ends up in a 2 man game where both those 2 man are grossly overmatched by their UCLA counterparts. I think some discipline and a full year in this offense, the Beavs might be ready to score 50 (!!!) a game... yeah, it doesn't look too promsing.
But where most people who run the Princeton offense make up for it in their defensive intensity, Robinson has them for the most part in various incarnations of the 1-3-1 zone. Most Pac teams will SHRED a 1-3-1. And since the Beavs aren't going to run with teams that will beat a 1-3-1, I have a lot of concerns of what their endgame is...
I wish I had more to say about UCLA. They looked impressive for the most part, but I'd like to see them against the Ducks before I make any definitive decisions about them. In non-con, Holiday looked ready to pick up where Westbrook left off, but Drew Gordon is not exactly the substitution I'd want for Kevin Love, Mbah-a M0ute AND the sexy Lorenzo Mata.
