Several times, when Hogan either took a sack or settled for a short scramble in a long-yardage situation, the Fox replays (which are really excellent, I think) gave a downfield view in which you could see that absolutely nobody was open. And Hogan himself alluded to this in his post-game interview when he said the UCLA safeties took away not only the wide receivers but the tight ends.

Part of this may have been a new UCLA scheme, but it's been obvious all year that we don't get adequate play from our WRs. That seems to me less like a skills-coaching or play-designing problem than a talent-judging problem.

I agree.  Given our lack of talent at the receiving positions, it makes Hogan's performance all the more remarkable.
