watched (went to almost 11:30) the UCLA - Fresno football game. not a huge FB fan, but have ties to Fresno & some UCLA (over a dozen family members FSU alumni, including 2 siblings) in addition to more important core LB roots and Poly roots.

if you didn't see it, it was an incredibly dramatic interesting, fascinating, football game. This QB Haener for Fresno was legendary and is the real deal. He's not perfect, bad habit of getting stripped which cost Fresno the Oregon road win and almost the UCLA win, but the kid is simply magnificant and tough as nails. He got hammered vs. Oregon and UCLA early threw a lot of speed at him. His throws are spot on for college QB, especially considering the pressure he sees. If he had another inch and 20 more lbs, he'd be on the #1 draft charts.

threw a go-ahead pass to put Fresburg ahead with 2 1/2 minutes after taking a nasty hip-pointer or hip contusion, then after UCLA scored, he went 75 yards on 5 or 6 pin-point passes in 50 seconds while basically folding down to the ground after each pass in pain.

beginning of the game he got UCLA's pressure (UCLA has real speed) defense confounded and just dictated the game and just dominated. It wasn't just UCLA, he did the same to Oregon game to an Oregon team that beat Ohio State.
