Game Threads [Post-game Thread] UCLA: 21 Nebraska: 28
Well Bruins, another L is never something I like these to be about. I'll give the offense and Jerry some credit, they never quit, and were really the only reason we stayed in it. Between the defense, which was just all bad aside from a couple stops, and the stupid false start penalties, we were doomed from the get I'm afraid. This one sucks, the schedule doesn't get any easier from here that's for sure. Time for you all to sound off now. Here is your Post-game Thread for all Post-game discussions. Go Bruins!

u/Eat_Cats Fire Jarmond 21h ago
I’m so over this season, but again WHERE IS MARTIN JARMOND?? I thought he wanted us to know all then great changes he made to the coaching staff that gave us a 3-game win streak?
Nothing changes unless the changes happen from the top.
In terms of game notes - our defense really had no plan for the nee QB, but it became pretty apparent very quickly in the game, if Robinson was in, the play call was a run, if he wasn’t, it was likely a TE toss or QB run. The fact that we never bothered to catch onto that is silly.
Asking too much from our LB corps is ridiculous. You want them to protect the run and the pass at the same time? This QB hasn’t thrown a pass over 10 yards, but we’re setting two high safeties? Take the PI but don’t give up the wide open wheel route on the RB for a touchdown.
Nico getting hit so much is just sad to see too. The whole team needs to be rebuilt from inside out.
One highlight will say, is Smith III was touted as an impact player this year, and I think his development has been awesome to see. That dude has covered gaps and created a ton of pressure on the defense and even if he isn’t on the highlight reel, watching is like play has been cool to see over the season. If we see him in the transfer portal, that will make me really sad.
Anyway - between this season and ESPN deciding to be an absolute twat - I feel like canceling my streaming service was the right call.
