Silver Lining - our QB played a flawless game - prob the best RU QB performance since Nova
But.....
Our coach is stuck in the 80s.
We have a game plan predicated on everything staying on schedule and near perfect execution on both sides of the ball
Nothing demonstrated this more than the last 3 minutes of the first half. With 2:30 left, Greg is running all the time on the play clock, as if he is nursing a 10 point lead and wants to make sure UCLA doesn't get the ball back We run about 1:30 off the clock and settle for a 49 yard field goal, with no thought of trying to score 7
UCLA gets the ball back for a minute and drives 75 yards with a SENSE of URGENCY and scores a TD to end the half.
Can you imagine Greg doing a 1 minute drill to end the half - NEVER
I know we have injuries on Defense but we were as healthy today as we were for Nebraska - no explanation why we turned the bottom of the B10 offense into the St Louis Rams
I don't see any way to fix this - don't know if it's coaching, execution or sloppy fundamentals.
I do believe Joe H and Flats are the 2 best coaches we have but they are currently our biggest problem areas. While I would never root against us, losing out might be the best thing to happen for Greg to make massive changes in the off-season
