Is the UCLA Offense Going to Suck This Year? Probably.

Jason over at What’s Bruin, Dawg? had a rockin’ writeup on what our offensive situation is gonna be like next year. He realizes, it might not be pretty:

"

Here’s what Neuheisel had to say after practice a couple of weeks back:

“Offensively, we knew that it was going to be a process, but we’re getting closer,” he said. “Hopefully, we’ll get to play really well by the time we get to Sept. 1.’’

A glowing account it is not. This is essentially the politically correct way of saying “Well, our offense sucks. But they’re trying really hard!”

"

I don’t think Neuheisel is having any delusions about the QB situation either:

"

The quarterback who is coming to ’save our season’? He’s played in a grand total of 10 games, and been declared inactive due to injury in about 500 others. OK, 500 is a bit of an exaggeration. But he’s been hurt. A lot. He broke his foot taking a step. 98-year old grandmothers do this. 25-year old starting quarterbacks? Yeah, not so much

"

Dude, I just realized Ben Olson is older than I am. I hope he stays healthy for more than a few games.

Also, our O-line is totally going to suck:

"

Our offensive line is terrible. Awful. It’s so bad….well….you remember that State Farm commercial with Matt Hasselbeck and the little cute pop-warner offensive line that gets run over? Yeah, we’d be that little pop-warner offensive line.

"

Lastly, Steve points out the one thing we all want out of Westwood, not just this year, but for the forseeable future. I’m talking about that all important benchmark that the Neuheisel era will ultimately be judged by: consistency.

"

What I will be looking for? You’ve heard it from me once, you’ll hear it one-hundred times: consistency.

"

Werd, dawg. Werd.
