UCLA Game Preview

[Mavric]

That's almost 5 targets per game. I guess I don't see that as...not using them much for tight ends. But, I don't know how that compares to the average in FBS.

It must not be too bad because we have two really good TE prospects for 2027 pretty interested in us.

Overall, probably not bad. But Lindenmeyer has only had more than three targets once in the past five games - 6 against Minnesota, which wasn't a great offensive performance. Haarberg has one target in three of the past five games and no targets in the other two. And Nelson only has two targets on the season. So other than the Minnesota game, we're at about 2.5 targets per game in the other four most-recent games. So, not really used.

The same thing that Happened to Haarberg. We just don't use them much (except as blockers and decoys).

Ridiculous. Lindenmeyer averaging 11 yards per carry and Nelson AWOL. Be great to use them to chip block and release into a slant or flat. Same things that have killed NU for years. Or just delay and slip upfield behind the LB’s…. Instead we just try the fade and the horizontal routes…. Hate we are not using more dink and dunk passing. Help out the QB, negate the rush, let the receivers get the YAC and keep on schedule….Can’t imagine TE’s coming here. Wonder if Nelson pops smoke?

Run the ball is very important. I think UCLA will stack the box against Emmet and and be ready for short screen passes.

Holgo and QB coach need to have counter plans to open it up. Unless we are able to get 4 yards and can live with it, which would be fine.
