I believe that most of the UCLA football-loving world is in agreement that the offense got exponentially better last season. We here at Go Joe Bruin have analyzed the offense on countless occasions and have concluded (by the eyeball test and numbers) that the Bruins were a better offensive team by the end of the season.
The same cannot be said for the defense. In analyzing the numbers from the beginning to the end of 2018, UCLA’s defense got worse. Before we look at the trends for the season, let us look at the season averages, where there is a beacon of shining light.
