if I don't have anything nice to say I probably shouldn't write this post

The game heading into UNLV/UCLA last Saturday ran long, so I was greeted to this when the broadcast began:

Note that (1) this is the second time that's happened in two weeks, (2) UCLA has already scored, and (3) UNLV started the game with the ball.

UCLA won 37-3, outgained UNLV 526-237, and it easily could've been worse. UNLV starting quarterback Blake Decker went down untouched on the last play of the first quarter and his availability for the Michigan game is very much in doubt; even if he plays, he'll most likely be limited. When Decker is out of the lineup UNLV is essentially last year's Indiana offense with Alexander Diamont and without Tevin Coleman. Chris Wormley is drooling right now and he doesn't even know why.

Personnel. Seth's diagram [click to embiggen]:

Wormley's got his star now and the heights/weights are fixed from last week.

Spread, Pro-Style, or Hybrid? Spread-to-run. UNLV stayed run-heavy even as they fell behind big, though part of that is because their backup quarterback is almost literally incapable of completing downfield passes.

Basketball on Grass or MANBALL? Mostly MANBALL. Even when running read options UNLV often pulled linemen. Their best runs mostly went inside.

Hurry it up or grind it out? Pretty leisurely pace. They don't look capable of tempo-ing anyone, especially with their backup.
