Justin Leppitsch admits he could have easily dumped half his team in the wake of Brisbanes latest AFL catastrophe.Instead, he will give the battling Lions another chance to prove themselves when they travel to take on top four contenders Adelaide in what looms as another likely bloodbath on Saturday night.The Lions were smashed to the tune of 94 points by Port Adelaide last weekend, renewing the pressure on Leppitsch ahead of an end-of-season football review that will determine his future in the job.However, Leppitsch said he would resist the urge to make wholesale changes this week.You have a week when we have a lot of players down, you dont want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, Leppitsch said.Its the sort of week where you can drop 15 blokes or stick with them and were probably more in the stick-with-them phase.Brisbane are the AFLs worst defensive team while the Crows - who beat Essendon by 82 points last week - are the competitions most potent in attack.Its not a good combination is it? Leppitsch said.Obviously defence has to be our focus and were working hard on that, structurally and the skill-based stuff, sticking tackles and things like that, both are falling apart at the moment.Ruckman Stefan Martin, who was rested last week, is battling a variety of niggling injuries and Leppitsch said it was unlikely he would play.A bullish Leppitsch said the Lions were still aiming to win, despite the Crows daunting form and strong record at Adelaide Oval, and Brisbanes continued woes.I know exterior people think youre going down and its just the margin, but I dont think like that, he said.I go to every game to win and I want our players to feel the same.We know its a difficult challenge but we accept the challenge.You accept it or you dont, thats the two options youve got in footy.

PASADENA, Calif. -- UCLA coach Jim Mora hoped to roll into November shooting for a conference title and a playoff berth, not needing a three-game winning streak just to guarantee bowl eligibility.While almost nothing has gone according to plan for the Bruins (3-6, 1-5 Pac-12) during his difficult fifth season, they could still salvage something out of it. But that surge would have to begin Saturday night against Oregon State (2-7, 1-5) in a meeting of two teams on four-game losing streaks.UCLA was the preseason media favorite to win the Pac-12 South with quarterback Josh Rosen in a run-based offense. Instead, Rosen is out for the season, the running game is awful and the Bruins are on the verge of missing a bowl game for the first time since 2010.I think that sometimes progress is disguised in failure, Mora said. Sometimes we learn our greatest lessons about each other in times of failure and adversity, when things arent going the way you want them to.Even after four straight losses, Mora made sure the Bruins are thinking about bowl eligibility as a goal: You put it out there, but you bring it right back to Saturday.Oregon State coach Gary Andersen has similar thoughts about his own teams struggles. The Beavers have won just once since mid-September, but the second-year coach believes the foundation of future success is underneath his 4-17 record so far in Corvallis.Were in a process, and its not a real fun process right now, Andersen said. It is a grind. But what youll learn as you go through time is the people that deserve to have the process thats rewarded at the end, they earn their stripes right now. ... Those kids that dig in are the ones who are going to be rewarded.Andersen notes that its possible to make a bowl game at 5-7, but Oregon State also would need to run the table. To make the point to his players, he cites his slight variation on a classic line of modern cinema: So youre saying theres a chance.Here are more things to watch when Oregon State visits the Rose Bowl for the first time since 2012::AT AN IMPASSE: Rosen underwent season-ending shoulder surgery Tuesday after missing the previous three-plus games.dddddddddddd Capable senior backup Mike Fafaul has set single-game school records for passes attempted and completed during his brief starting tenure, but largely because UCLAs running game has been utterly inept all season long. The Bruins have cracked 80 yards rushing just once in the past seven games, leaving them next-to-last in the FBS with 78.8 yards rushing per game and 2.6 per carry.TWICE THE ARMS: Oregon State could have depth back at quarterback. Conor Blount appears to be ready to return from the knee injury that has kept him out for three games, although Marcus McMaryion is expected to remain the starter. The walk-on Blount won the job before his injury, and the Beavers -- who havent won since -- are willing to try just about anything to boost the nations second-worst passing offense. UCLA has one of the Pac-12s best passing defenses, getting 12 interceptions and yielding just eight TD passes.RIVALRY RIGORS: Rosen and the Bruins routed Oregon State 41-0 in rain-soaked Corvallis last season with 676 yards of total offense, the third-most in school history. The rivalry has been more even in Pasadena, where the schools have split their last six meetings. Oregon State has won two of its last three at the Rose Bowl.WAIT `TIL NEXT YEAR: Mora spent time with the convalescing Rosen this week, eating cheesecake and talking about plans for next season. Rosen asked to be on the sideline for Saturdays game to help Fafaul, but Mora hadnt figured out whether it would be safe. Im going to leave that up to the doctors, Mora said. The worst thing that we could ever do is, just because he wants to be on the sideline helping, put him there and he gets hit. But I know hes desperate to get out here and help where he can.---AP college football coverage: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
