UCLA Football Will We See A Transition From The Power To The Spread?
Is the UCLA Football team abandoning the run? Probably, which might be a good thing.
Since the UCLA Football team has been ineffective (to say the least) at running the football, they recently ditched the power-pro “scheme” for the spread-uptempo style of offense.
The spread offense definitely fits UCLA quarterback Mike Fafaul more than the pro scheme has, as we saw in UCLA’s latest disappointing loss to then ranked #19 Utah Utes.
UCLA threw the ball 70 times, which shattered the previous record and they only ran the ball 10 times (9 carries went to running back Bolu Olorunfunmi). As a team, UCLA ran for a meager 46 yards.
With the UCLA starting quarterback Josh Rosen reportedly nowhere near a return, it looks like the redshirt senior is in for the long run.
The uptempo offense showed some signs of life against the Utah Utes. There were more big plays and UCLA got a few extra possessions to potentially win the ball game.
The pro-style has gone nowhere this season, and most Bruin fans would believe that it’s been an utter failure. Myself included.
Going to a faster pace gets UCLA’s playmakers out in open space, Bruins tight end Nate Iese did a great job getting open over the middle of the field all game agains Utah.

It only makes sense for the Bruins to switch personnel and go to a faster pace. At least it is somewhat “entertaining” to watch.
