We hired a retread coach who dreads recruiting, whatever the rationale. He counts on transfers. Troy Aikman was a transfer from Oklahoma back in the day. But to think lightening always strikes twice is unrealistic. Additionally, his play calling is questionable in many ways. I sincerely hope he is gone after this season.
I hate the way he and Deshaun utilize the running backs. Charbonnet could be the best back in the Conference, but on way too many “important” downs, Jones was in the backfield. And, he had more carries than Charbonnet.
I think the attendance was the biggest story. They're claiming 29,000 attended. Does anybody believe that? It looked like 10-15 thousand max. Mediocre team, pathetic schedule, surly curmudgeon of a coach (who refuses to recruit...) what is the best Adjective to describe the state of UCLA football...I think the lack of fans suggests " Irrelevant "
A W is a W and always glad the Bruins win, but what a gift! South Alabama coach Wommack should be horsewhipped for the fake field goal call. You take the points and make your opponent move the length of the field and beat you at the goal line. It's a friggin' no-brainer decision and a head coach can't go wrong with it. The attendance is sad; what's been the financial cost in the past 20 years thanks to the great decisions by Chianti Dan? A pain watching the Okie-Trojans pound the Bulldogs in front of a sizable rabble.
One last thought. Kelly isn’t going to get any better. We should just face it and let Neu coach for the rest of the year while we take the time to get it right. He could not possibly do any worse.
Seeing the video of the Bruins celebrating after the AS win was also shocking. Looked like the had just won a Rose Bowl championship when they should have been hanging their heads in shame.
Maybe we should join the Sun Belt instead of the Big 10…

Don’t even get me started on our defense.
Go Bruins!
Im not sure what sucked more- the near loss or the attendance.

Good enough for government work.

UCLA is 3-0, but Chip Kelly absolutely sucks! The team was grossly unprepared for S. Alabama.
