Last season, the UCLA Football team did not have a good balance between their offense and defense. That led to several problems, including time of possession.
UCLA’s offense led by former Offensive Coordinator Noel Mazzone was effective when played at a certain tempo. It also became slightly predictable.
If QB Josh Rosen wasn’t driving the team down field by the speed of light, then the offense was succumbing to several three-and-outs. With the little time the Bruin offense was on the field, that meant the Bruin defense was on the field a lot more.
