UCLA might be a better team than their record. They have losses to really good teams.
How long has UCLA been running their offense. I'm under the impression that the offense is new this year.

Thanks. I read a couple articles about the UCLA offense. They left a distinct impression that Bieniemy was new this year, but didn't state it outright. I took it as a given, that he was new this year.

I hope Iowa has a full complement players in the defensive backfield, or else this could look like the MSU game.

He was the OC for the Chiefs that people thought should get an NFL HC job. He has had some legal problems in the past and it was thought that that, along with the fact that Reid is the playcaller and basically in charge of that offense are what kept him from getting a job. He left KC last year and went to Washington to get out of Reid's shadow and it was a disaster. Hopefully that continues Friday.

EB got one year with this offense https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/was/2023.htm Jayden Daniels is a tad better than Sam Howell.
He's overqualified for the job he has, but, you know, the NFL frowns on legal issues.

Eric Bieniemy passed over for NFL head coaching position yet again. Is the window closed?

I went looking for Ethan Garbers passing efficiency at 138.45 and found Spencer Patras right in the neighborhood 140.08EB got one year with this offense https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/was/2023.htm Jayden Daniels is a tad better than Sam Howell.

If Spencer wanted to spend his senior year slinging the ball around with reckless abandon, he found his spot. He's even got 28 positive rushing yards on the year. (The score doesn't seem to be bothering him much. Apparently, the Aggies don't play defense.)
I just remember how he stood up for himself and his team even when the offense was in shambles. Turns out it wasn't on him anyways, but he always owned it. High character dude who I'll always root for.

I had to go take a look at a few highlight clips to see how they played Spencer. It appears to all be shotgun run/pass read with a single back beside him, TE & WRs spread wide. He claps his hands, reads the routs and who is coming through the line, and acts accordingly. He's far enough back that the o-line only needs to slow rushers down. (only 7 sacks) He seems to be getting a few carries when coverage drops (24 carries for 28 total yards and 1TD, long of 12) If he finishes the season with positive rushing yardage they should give him a trophy for unlikely feats.
On the other side of the ball, the Aggies defense is astoundingly BAD.
I wish him the best. He broke Goff's HS records.
