Agreed. I think it would be huge relief to the team just to get bowl eligibility. Maybe after that they can play more loose and not so uptight.

Exactly. This team has tried to play everything so safe. You get that weight lifted and I think you’ll see them take the training wheels off and just go after it.

Terrible stat but it's from a post 6 years ago.

Projected margin 14.6. I could handle a 2+ TD win.

I can't think of a scenario where we lose this game. It has to be a 2019 Purdue/2009 Cockeye State type game where everything that can go wrong does go wrong.

I think Foster is a candidate to get fired after year one. They stink, they're a media laughingstock, no one in LA cares about them, and their recruiting class isn't good. I don't think he gets canned though, UCLA doesn't care about sports, and his buyout is $10 million.

Well i hope not but I don't have to think real hard of a scenario. We've seen plenty over the last 20 years.

Barney now listed at the slot (was behind Neyor). New -OR- at CB with Tommi and Wright. No -OR- between Hohl and Alvano. Shocked to see Ives at KR over Rahmir.

No RVP listed for a home game.

RVP has appeared in 3 games so far so maybe they're looking at a different game for game #4?

I'd bet he's being saved for Cockeye. Easily the most run heavy team we play in the final four games, so keep as many DL available as possible.

While there are a lot of dumb ways Nebraska could lose a game like this one, the game will be decided when UCLA has the football.

The pass protection has been terrible vs any team with even an average pass rush. Garbers struggles vs pressure and he forces things when protection breaks down.

That's the matchup. If UCLA can protect Garbers, this will be a 4 quarter game that Nebraska could absolutely lose.

But if Nebraska flexes their muscles vs that ucla offensive line, the Huskers should win by double digits.

What I’m reading here is that if we rely on 3-4 man rushes then the game could stay tight but if we decide to get aggressive we can take them out of it early.

Story as old as time with us.

It obviously would be big to get Hill back. I would like to see Hill and Wright at CB and move Buford back to Safety if possible.
