I thought Luck played well, he overthrew and underthrew a few guys, but he never made a stupid throw, and he made some bigtime throws when he had to, like the 3rd and 8 completion for 9 to Whalen. To my mind, a QB\'s smarts is more important than his arm, and Luck played a really smart game.
Also, UCLA has a good secondary, I\'m not surprised that we didn\'t cut them up through the air. If we had Owusu out there, and Baldwin in the slot, maybe we start to expose some of their nickel backs a bit more.
I was much more concerned about the lack of execution from Alex Loukas. We still haven\'t seen him make anything happen with his arm, and he looked pretty poor just getting the offense set and the ball hiked. Let\'s hope he doesn\'t have to see meaningful action.
