A player interview that actually gives not just a load of cliches but some relevant information. How refreshing!
I would love to know some specifics about that "lot of tells" but just that bare statement should be interesting to UCLA's offensive coaches. Urban Meyer just a few days ago said our O line coaching has been terrific, but "tells" could spell big trouble if not corrected.
But the main reason for the decreased run-game productivity is probably that recent opponents have been increasingly inclined to stack up against the run and pray that Ty won't kill them with his passing. Ty has come through, however.
Another factor last night was the absence of Ty for several drives, which made it easy for IL to play run-focused D. Ty -- what an amazing story. I woulnd't compare him to John Barnes. Ty is way more consequential than Barnes ever was.
Oh, and our OL was minus one or two starters, I think?
