One additional comment about Luck. Â His two worst passing games last year came against two of the better defenses in the conference:
12 for 30 vs. Oregon State
10 for 30 vs. Cal
The UCLA game troubles me because it was a repeat of the performance I saw in Big Game last year where he was inaccurate and appeared to be off his rhythm. Â Luck\'s value as a competitor is unquestionable. Â He will do what needs to be done to avoid tackles and move the ball. Â But I think the jury is still out on Luck\'s ability as a passer against good defenses.
