****UCLA Game Day Thread****

[Packerhuskerfan]

I’m going to go ahead and say it.. I know it’s only one game but.. TJ makes this offense better.

I'd like to see at least this whole game play out. We are notorious for giving up leads and playing bad in the 3rd quarter. Really, I think we need the full final 3 games to judge.

Jesus TFing Christ Tap Dancing in a motherf****** cracker, TJ has only started for one half against a team that’s 3-5.

Can we just hold off anointing him as the end all be all for at least two more quarters…or better yet, the end of the regular season after we play Penn State and Iowa?

I'd slow down, but I've seen so much of Dylan I could replay the entire first half in my mind with UCLA with Dylan in the pocket and see the results.

Hint: we would not have 21 points.

TJ Lateef starts this season and we are probably 8-1

What game do we lose ?

Lot to love in the first half. Gotta do better on 3rd downs to preserve this victory.

 

[CheeseHusker]

I can't say Raiola would be objectively better or worse but I suspect we would be throwing a lot more. For better or for worse.

I say Michigan we looked the most outmatched. I think we were flat at Minny. We beat USC.

He’s only had one week practicing with the first string and has been more efficient and aggressive. Also, he has legs….makes the offense more threatening. I’m sorry, I am already convinced. If Dylan is our starter next year, we better have bought a whole oline from the portal. He’s a great kid and a great leader, but he is a statue. That will be a problem until we actually have a good line.

The only way we're objectively better with Raiola, than three for three with three touchdowns, is if we start going for two and are up 22/23/24 to 7.

He'd also have to be 100% completion and a threat to run.

He's a great young man. A strong leader. Rhule tells us he is "elite" pre snap. He's been clutch on last drives.

But with Lateef, do you need a last drive? He's just more crisp.

 

[TGHusker]

What game do we lose ?

probably Minny - seems like no one showed up for that game - especially the coaches. All of the Rhule to PSU talk going on

 

[InOmaha]

What the mobile QB did was run for a couple 10+ yard runs. Then the UCLA defense has to pay attention, which frees up EJ and the line on some other run plays. Plus the slants.

If he runs for another couple long keepers to start the next half, it stops the downhill defensive attack at the LOS.

Will the offense break the 300 barrie,r that has reared it's head 4 times this year, with 195 at the half(on 3 drives mind you)

only one more than 300 in one game out of the past 6 IIRC. No bueno.

 

[mnhusker]

Hopefully we can handle UCLA adjustments.
