You speak the truth, bro.

We play two really bad teams at home and have an uphill battle. We're not that good. 5-7 or 4-8 is not only plausible, but likely. That UCLA lost to this Aggy team should be really concerning for UCLA fans, hostile environment or not.

I was so pissed during this game. Not so much at the Oline, I knew they were going to struggle and they did. it was the horrible play calling by the OC, did nothing until the 4th Qtr to try and counter Aggie's defense. Went to the spread offense which he should be able to do while under center as well and using TE formations. Did not run a screen until the forth quarter. It was frustrating that he tried to use the RB to help with the blitzing vs call better plays to minimize the blitz.

Again Chavis called a brilliant game plan, Mora will not take the chains off our DC, keep it simple and do not blitz, granted we did pretty good defensively unil our starting left DE went out near the end of the 1 st qtr.

We get to play again next year look forward to meeting some Aggie fans.

Non-conference games do not dictate how the season goes.
I hope UCLA has a great season, helps our SOS.

I thought for sure we were screwed when your OC started using the TEs. That was a brilliant adjustment, but he needed to have an answer for when we started to counter the TE passing game. I honestly don't know how to counter that. Maybe bubble screens or sweep plays. I'm no football coach or guru.

Chavis has had his hands full fixing our defense. The D has been a busted water main against the run. I was surprised we were able to halfway stop it. I am more inclined to believe it was inexperience at the OL position for UCLA, rather than vast improvement in the front 7. It remains to be seen.
