What was really surprising to me was that UCLA hardly ever threw the swing pass they ran so effectively against Stanford, against Baylor. Perhaps Baylor not playing a 3-4 and having smaller (faster) defenders made UCLA think the swing passes wouldn't be as effective, and they could run up the middle on them more. . . .
Every game is different, he said. Certain teams give you an ability to do this. Why didnt he run this play more? It worked last game. Because it wouldnt work this game. Because people have different schemes, different players, different strengths.

Injuries also had an effect. The team was at its healthiest (except for missing starting QB, Stave) at the end of the season.
