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.
