Ok, I’ve now rewatched the game from the comfort of my home and not a poolside cabana. My takeaway is that UCLA played a pretty even football game against South Alabama. Your opinion of what that statement means for the program going forward may vary.
I could not watch the whole game because of PAC12 network, but I did catch the YouTube highlights. I think there is a very real possibility of losing a close one due to bad play calling and bad defense or conversely blowing out Colorado via relentless passing offense. The running game does not look good behind Charbonnet, at least from the limited glimpse I got on tv and listening to the game via Mighty Bruin. Finally if this is a loss I hope Kelly gets tarmaced!
So right about the defense system and strategy I wanna puke! Loved Chip's explanation of the lack of school name recognition for the crappy attendance (and support). Granted BG, AS, and SA aren't big names, but the PROGRAM back in the 80's and 90's would have drawn at least 50-55K. If there were 30K bodies in the Bowl last Saturday, I'll kiss your butt on Westwood and Wilshire!
Kliavkoffs “concerns” just made an article on ESPN, curious as to why theyre highlighting ucla so much when all these same things could be said about usc.
I dont disagree that travel expenses will go up and coach salaries, but the tone of that article just seems like the same rehashing of the previous uc regents meetings, theyre pissed about a UC leaving and how it affects cal

With so many opportunities to step up, I guess we have to accept the talent isn't here.
