You seem to think UCLA has life here. It would still take a miracle to come back. They are a top 10 team, as well. Maybe expecting a blowout is a bit unrealistic.
Expecting us to put away top 10 teams early is a bit much haha.

It isn’t just UCLA, feels like it’s been a few games, BYU comes to mind.

When was BYU ever in doubt? I think they may have gotten it within 3 scores when Thompson came in? They’ve allowed a lot of garbage time points in games, but some of that is being conservative defensively and playing backups. I don’t sweat it too much.

I wish we did a last play so we could get to 50+ points

We don’t need to be like Slick Willie, granted they kneed too early but this team did what they needed to do on national television with a lot of people watching, no need to score again and get a bad reputation.

Its nice change to have a coach who manages the clock well.

I like how lanning show the respect for chip in running out the clock. Perhaps a little too much of that in victory formation plays with time still left on the clock.

It was a respectful ending, but for gods sake, kick the field goal. Just my humble opinion.

Good chance we play them again, no need to throw any more motivation into that game for them.

Yes. Respect is good and so is scoring and making a strong statement.

I think the game already made plenty of a statement, no?

I don't recall seeing him either. Stat sheet should be available soon so we can check. He's a Mater Dei guy too, so would be odd that he didn't play with all those guys on campus unless he was hurt.
