I LOVED his choice to end the game going for two. Champions make those two-pt conversions. (Remember Bush push?)
What I didn't like was running up the middle to retry for the two. The odds of making the two-pt conversion is below average but trying on two consecutive plays must have very poor odds so why push your luck?
On a positive note, I don't think UCLA is scared of Stanford anymore. :)
In the 3 years that I went to UCLA, I went to 2 winning Rose Bowls and one we were ranked #5. I always felt we should be not just shooting for Pac 10 Championships, but National Championships. All of these years we have never met my expectations and have instead regressed. When we got Chip, I thought we got the coach that would get us back on track. While more competitive this season, the losses under him pain me badly. But at this point, who else do we get that would get us into the National Championship picture? And that is what we should be shooting for, not replacing him just for the matter of replacing him and get second fiddle.
The last play is made even more ridiculous by the fact that UCLA was in the process of running it up the middle as the replay official inadvertently buzzed down to the field. So, after the brief stoppage, naturally Chip didn’t change the play and ran it up the middle again. There is no end to his arrogant idiocy. Most coaches have special two point plays. Not Chip, he just runs the same handful of obvious plays that opponents and fans expect.
3-9, 4-8, 3-4.....Chip's records from his first three seasons. Anyone see it getting better than 6-6 next year with a really difficult schedule? Fire Chip now. Stretch the buyout.
Not sure what to make of the fact that UCLA was 3-20 in the first half with DTR at the helm and 31-14 in the second half with Griffin at the helm. Clearly the team came out of halftime with a vengeance but why?
1. Does anyone think Felton will come back? He technically has another year of eligibility because of the NCAA Covid season rule.
2. I thought our D line was exposed last night. Jackson at 275 and Agude at 245 we’re lining up at DT. There were points on the game were we lined up with 3 down lineman against a power run formation. That is not going to get it done. Stanford’s power run game will continue to be a problem unless we get that taken of.
3. I like Chase but don’t know about him as our QB long term. If he didn’t fumble at the end of the fourth we win the game.
4. When we aren’t getting pressure on the QB the pass defense isn’t good.

Chip is an idiot.

Up the gut!!!!! I guess Chip won't learn. Let's try something that hasn't worked all season! Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Another brutal loss.
On a couple non Chip notes:
1. Does anyone think Felton will come back? He technically has another year of eligibility because of the NCAA Covid season rule.
2. I thought our D line was exposed last night. Jackson at 275 and Agude at 245 we’re lining up at DT.

What is Chip like 17-126 over the last seven years? Cut our losses now!
