Win or Lose @ UCLA...

[Cavalot]

There is a lot of conversation about this weeks win or loss being on the shoulders of TJ and his offensive game management. I contend that if we are the better team... Which statistically we are. Then this win or loss will be squarely on the shoulders of the entire team. This game shouldn't come down to qb play. We should not have to have him do much more than manage the game and run the ball some. ​

This would be akin to saying that the Minnesota loss was DR's fault. We were the better team, on paper we should have beaten them soundly. Instead we got curb stomped. ​

Thoughts?​

🎯 Key Takeaways for Opponent Planning​

• Offensively: UCLA is below average in yardage and efficiency. With ~5.5 yards/play and ~344 yards/game, they can be contained with good defensive planning.
• Defensively: Their red-zone vulnerability and high points allowed (~31 ppg) highlight areas to exploit — especially inside the 20-yard line.

What if he has a noodle arm like McCaffrey and throws like 4 picks?

Well he doesn't. Now could he throw 4 picks? I suppose if we don't manage him appropriately. My point is...if we manage this game correctly and TJ plays just an average game. Nothing specatular. We should win! UCLA is not better than NU.

Can't wait until this site is just competing AI models talking back and forth to each other so I don't have to waste my time wading through any original thoughts from any of you assholes.

Can't wait for assholes to figure out how AI actually works and learn to cope with using it for simple data retrieval. What part of the ai part of my post do you have issue with?

I stated my opinion and backed it up with factual information. Would you prefer that people just say shit without any basis for how they came up with said shit? I know that that has become the norm in America these days, but that's not how it should work.
