UCLA 22, Illinois 14 Postgame

#7      
As ugly as that game was I told someone if we were in it late with a chance to win I would be satisfied. Major kudos to the defense for keeping it there.

What a gutsy and solid performance. Especially the defense. Gotta have Cooper at the least, co-defensive coordinator next season. I would not mind him as full time DC.

As I said before, Hauser with a horrendous game. Some ups, but too many downs. Some of those interceptioms were avoidable, and even the safety was preventable. Maybe it was the weather, with a delicate hand, but still he looked spooked and jumpy. Hopefully he does not have the yips.

MUCH better than I thought this defense would play. I eat my words happily.

This one, unfortunately, lays at the feet of the QB. Can't play like that. The mental mistakes, especially the safety.....just can't have it.

Like another poster said, Katin will remember this one for a long, long time. Unfortunate time to put a performance out there like that.

Great effort by all however!

Defense was outstanding. We tried really hard, and we played really well, just a few single plays sunk us. Just not quite a perfect enough road game to win but we were on the doorstep. A bit sad but let’s go out and win these next 2 games and play our bowl in warm weather. Really proud of this team.

This announcing job rose to Bill Walton levels in the 2002 Elite 8 game against Arizona.

UCLA will not go far in the CFP.

Have I mentioned I don't like Devin Gardner?

I really like how the defense is playing.

Offense was bad, but I think they can clean things up and find a seventh win.

I don't want to ever hear Devin Gardner on my TV, ever, again.
