UCLA- What Did We Learn

[BoSolich]

I learned that hope may dwindle for EJ being back next year

i assume he's a mid round pick just because that's where RBs go unless you are a generational talent. he might make more in NIL than being a 5th round pick.

you can find no hive of negativity that rivals the gameday thread

I start the thread and never go back in after the game starts. Some fans just can’t enjoy a football game.

I think whoever gets him is getting a steal in the long run. The kid has heart and skill, give him an oline and i bet he shines.

Lateef basically played a perfect game. Which is astounding considering the circumstances.

I learned a whole lot of schools are going to be throwing the bag at TJ. Gonna be very hard to keep him next year.

Looking quite forward to the last two games and a bowl when they had lost some luster last weekend.

I love the lazers TJ throws & his running ability.

7-3 baby!!

I learned timeouts in basketball are like 3 minutes.

I learned that if TJ played against minny, we win. If getting sacked 9 times does not make coaches wonder if putting a mobile QB could make a difference, then you know we have slow coaches. If, by some miracle TJ is retained, Matt Rhule and Dana need to start employing a dual QB system. TJ is too good to be riding the bench.

If it’s an open competition then we have a legit QB battle next season. Iron sharpens iron.

There will be no QB battle because one of them will transfer.

EJ is a stud. Nebraska still can't put teams away. The Huskers D was awful, but offense was good enough.

I'm going to appreciate the win and not think too much about it. A win is a win.

 

[I am I]

Don’t even know if this the right thread to start this lil conversation.

For years…and years and sometimes week after week…we have watched 2nd and 3rd team backup QBs carve us up. Go look it up, 2nd team QBs have set records on us and won games so stupidly on us. Backup QBs have beat us up over the last decade, we have definitely given up some records of playing against a backup in games.

Short story long….it’s nice to have one of our backups actually go out and win a f’ing game and play like we have a whole team. F yeah. I’m so pumped we didn’t just crap the bed and wait for HH or Daily, or Duke, or any other total crap a$$ f’ing backup play reps for us.
We have been the absolute abyss of backup QB for about 15 yrs. Nice to see a backup play well and win a game on the road. For f’ing once in my lifetime. Let’s go Lateef. We finally had a backup win something for or us!!!

Fun game to watch. Nebraska is an entertaining football team. Far from perfect but so are most teams. Enjoy what we have for what it is.

 

[Knothole Seats @ 50 Cents]

That we finally found a way to win a game in Pasadena.

 

[krc1995]

I don’t know scheme or details like many if you, but it seems to me the offense as a whole works better when the run game is the core. Feels like Holgo before this game featured Raiola first- like every play was designed for him exclusively. Would like to see some more TE worked in.

 

[BoSolich]

holgerson puts together some nice drives, but can't seem to coach a complete game. we should have had more than 28 points tonight.

i'm not sure why john butler gets so much hate. the defense has been competent every single game. it's not breaking any records, but the offense has been way more inconsistent.
