As a UCLA graduate I was saddened to notice that in your analysis of Week 14 accomplishments of former Bruins in the NFL that seven of their eleven NFL teams actually lost. Is there something sinister in this observation, Adam?

Nah, just totally coincidental. I suppose the way college players disburse through the NFL, it's possible to have 11 wins on one day or 11 losses. You also can't peg much on one player. Maurice Jones-Drew had a great game but the team lost. Chris Kluwe, while his two punts were important and covered a lot of ground, had a relatively slow day by his standards. In his case, as a punter, it's a GOOD thing when he doesn't play much -- and that's just what happened.
