UCLA vs Baylor

[tmfr15]

Hoping UCLA makes a comeback. It's discouraging to see them get pounded and the announcers aren't helping by saying that Georgia should be able to score at will against NU.

Definitely not the same team we played in September. I know the announcers are saying different but I don't think UCLA really wants to be there.

Baylor is calling the game that we should have! They have thrown 13 times! Ucla sucklas!

Wow what a move by Mora. You know ESPN would be roasting Bo on a stick if he tried that crap.

We came out with a horrible defensive gameplan when we played UCLA and UCLA came out with a worse one against Baylor.

What did he do?

That was not the same UCLA team we faced in September. They did not want to be playing football last night. To put it in perspective, they were almost as bad as we were in our CCG against Wiscy.

What did he do?

They got the ball back with 8 seconds left and threw one toward the end zone. The WR was actually down at the one but they called a touchdown then wouldn't let Briles challenge.

I liked all the pressure Baylor brought on D. What other differences were there in defensive scheme between Nebraska & Baylor vs. UCLA? If Baylor can hold UCLA to 35 rushing yards either the NU scheme is bad or the NU talent is bad. I can't see UCLA being that much more talented than NU.

I can't speak to the differences in scheme but I can offer a couple observations. 1- UCLA played much more inspired ball when we played them in September and, even with that, we should've won that game. I believe NU is more talented than UCLA but, for whatever reasons, did not perform up to capability and were out coached in some aspects. 2- I can't stress enough how much more poorly UCLA played yesterday vs Baylor. I don't want to take anything away from Baylor but those Bruins did not look like they wanted to play a football game. Don't know if they were hungover, out late partying, or what but they looked terrible and their lack of effort was very noticeable. Talent will only get you so far then the belly fire has to kick in. Baylor wanted it more and it showed.
