Even if you completely set aside UCLA football‘s final possession, this week’s offensive performance is simultaneously encouraging and frustrating. They set or matched season highs in Yards-Per-Play (7.0 this week, previous best 6.5 vs Washington), Overall Success Rate (49% this week, matching the Cal game), and Pass Success Rate (54% this week, previous best 50% vs Cal). They moved the ball as well as they have all season, you can’t argue with the objective production, but there was nothing exciting or novel about the approach this week.
The scheme buffet was closed for renovations.
