Study Hall: UCLA 45, Colorado 23

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Confused? Visit the Advanced Stats glossary here. Or just skip to the words. I won't be offended. (Okay, I'll only be a little offended.)

As I mentioned in yesterday's Numerical, Colorado really did execute its gameplan pretty well, and with a true freshman quarterback to boot. But the Buffs lost the game's only turnover (and it was a pretty costly one), and Brett Hundley and the Bruins offense was actually better on passing downs than standard downs. Moral victory for CU, but Mike MacIntyre just doesn't have the pieces yet.
