Do you think TJ gives us a better chance to win than a healthy Dylan?

[herbsinator]

We do need a bigger sample size but if we win the next two games there's not really any debate

If we beat Cockeye and PSU, then that means that TJ has played at a very high level.

well we gave up 9 sacks to minnesota and went how many games with 0.

Minnesota
- 11.28% sack pct. (1)
- 3.8 sacks per game (3)

UCLA
- 2.5% sack pct (132)
- 0.7 sacks per game (134)


Must be Dylan. Roflcoptersaurus

How many of Lateef’s passing yards were after the catch?

You can break this type of stuff up all day.

The truth is Nebraska has two very capable or better QBs with different skill sets.

It's good they had some options, could have easily been looking at Grammy or HH for the rest of the season.

UCLA was the worst defense we’ve played since Akron and HBU, TJ certainly played well and has traits to be excited about, but I want to see how he performs again these next two defenses before we anoint him the new savior

Not wrong, but I think the major difference is TJ’s skillset enhances everyone else’s, especially the run game/OL.

If he plays well against Pedo and Cockeye you have to pay him if you’re at all realistic about keeping him. Hope the “big boys” are serious about opening up the NIL pockets next season. If they do, and Rhule spends the money wisely we could be really good next year, regardless of a more difficult schedule.

Shore up/bolster the OL. Add a run stuffing DT and a pass rusher to the DL, get EJ some help at RB and keep all/most of our current players/contributors and we’ll be pretty damn good. I think… 🤣

If Lateef plays well the last two games the smart play is to let Raiola walk. You can save money and add it to other roster spots. You could possibly get a better offensive line coach too.

Weird Minnesota got so far over their avg vs Nebraska but ucla couldn’t. Wonder what the difference is

Maybe it a mobile qb that makes fast reads

I am of the opinion that the Minnesota game was a devil's brew of a whole bunch of shit. Short week. And I don't care what anyone says now Rhule was listening to Penn St. and that also had to impact the team. And coaches. We came out with a game plan that required us to have two very good pass blocking OT's when we have none that are even ok at it. That whole game looked and felt like a Frost special. As in a team that was not really interested or invested.

Tough to compare the 2024 in 2025 UCLA games, and draw any real substantive conclusion. Different players on both sides of the ball for both teams.

As I said TJ‘s performance over these next two games will tell the story.

I’m not against the idea that Lateef is more suited for the team. I know he is more suited to what Dana wants to do.

I just wouldn’t put the cart before the horse. If he plays well, win or lose, against the next two I’d be convinced. I don’t expect him to be perfect, but those are tougher tests for him.

We’ll know more about him and the teams future after 3 weeks.

 

[Kaladin]

I’m curious about the NIL situation if Lateef does well the next two games

Seems like the Raiola family has a lot of leverage over Rhule, but if Lateef balls out that won’t be the case anymore

Points wise though, UCLA D hasn't been that bad in B1G play though. Yeah they got gashed vs Indiana but so did every one else. PSU looks bad but at least they won.

They held NW, Michigan St and Maryland to less points than we did.
