That wouldn't give themselves a decent chance at beating UCLA right now.
Keys to beating UCLA:
Can you generate a pass rush against blocking dummies?
Can your DL get penetration in run defense against blocking dummies?
Can your secondary cover for the .25 seconds that it takes your DL to get pressure?
Can your OL move an opposing DL that plays like it is wearing roller skates?
Can your OL get to the second level past DL on skates and get a body of LBs who react so slowly that it appears they are trying to follow a trail of breadcrumbs to the play?
Can your QB it wide open receivers in under 10 seconds?
Can your RBs run through canyon sized holes, break non-existent tackles, and fall forward for extra yards when presented with the resistance that a tampon puts up to absorbing liquid?
Does your team have the discipline to do absolutely nothing and just let your opponent kill itself with one stupid penalty after another?
Game planning against the Bruins really does not present a very high bar to overcome.
