Quarterbacks: B+
Sean Canfield was accurate most of the time, and came through with big passes when needed.
Running backs: A
Jacquizz Rodgers made a major impact, topping the 1,000-yard plateau and setting records.
Wide receivers: A-
James Rodgers and Sammie Stroughter had big games without Shane Morales (hip).
Offensive line: A-
Canfield had a lot of time most of the game and Rodgers had room, but just not dominant.
Defensive line: A
UCLA QB Kevin Craft was pressured at times and running between tackles was difficult.
Linebackers: A
It was bend-but-don't-break. They bent less and less as the game went on.
Secondary: B
UCLA moved through the air, but there were no big plays. There were some missed interceptions.
Special teams: A-
Johnny Hekker improved his punting, while the coverage and return teams were steady.
Coaching: A
The offense was successful with a backup QB. Mike Riley's UCLA jinx is over.
