UCLA: passing game may be only flaw
CONTINUED FROM 1B
The headline on the UCLA squad is Heisman hopeful DeShaun Foster, who is on the list of preseason candidates for the Doak Walker Award. Foster picked up 110 yards on 24 carries, including a 40-yard scamper in the fourth quarter to help hand Alabama its first loss in a home opener since 1893.
Foster has eight career 100-yard rushing games and is 10th all-time on the school rushing list. Only three Bruins have scored more touchdowns.
"He has great vision. In fact, he sometimes sees too much to be totally honest with you," Toledo said.
He compared Foster to a young Marcus Allen, who Toledo coached as an assistant at Southern Cal. But Toledo said Foster was faster than Allen.
Kansas defensive back Andrew Davison said the Jayhawks were focused on the UCLA running attack.
"We know they like to run it," he said. "They just come with Foster and Foster, until you're tired of it."
The one flaw UCLA had last week was their passing game. Junior quarterback Cory Paus completed just 8 of 22 passes for 123 yards. He became only the third sophomore in school history to throw for 2,000 yards last year.
"They had a lot of dropped balls," Davison said. "So I'm sure they'll come out and want to redeem themselves this week."
Defensively, the Bruins' strength is up front, where Allen said they had one of the premier units in the nation.
The defensive line, which recorded three sacks last week, is led by Kenyon Coleman, a senior who recorded two stops and five assists against Alabama.
The defensive secondary, however, was suspect in the opener, surrendering 299 yards in the air as Alabama completed 15 of 15 attempts.
Toledo said that overall, UCLA needed to continue to execute and play smart football.
"We didn't panic when we got down last week," he said. "We just showed a lot of poise and continued to be a very business-like, focused team."
