Blogging with the Devils

UCLA running back Kahlil Bell sprints away from California defenders during the Bruins’ victory on Saturday.

I plan on blogging later about the developments at the Rose Bowl on Saturday and what they could mean to Arizona State as it heads down the stretch. Right now, I’m about to throw the chicken and hamburgers on the grill for our family’s Dad-is-home-on-Saturday-night-for-a-change cookout celebration.

However, this bewilderment needs to be expressed:

This team opens the year with impressive wins against Stanford and Brigham Young, then lays an egg against a Utah squad missing its starting quarterback and running back. It next wins two straight games, including a rout of Oregon State at Corvallis, then gives putrid Notre Dame its only victory of the season.

And on Saturday, this team defeats 10th-ranked California — which many observers, myself included, were still projecting for the Rose Bowl — to move into a tie with ASU atop the Pac-10.

You try and figure out UCLA. I can’t.
