Bruins

UCLA is a run-leaning, ball-control offense that operates at a modest pace of 59.6 plays per game and generates below-average efficiency at 0.15 PPA per play. Their defense is a liability, allowing opponents to convert over half of third downs and giving up explosive plays at a 13.3 percent rate.

Every scrimmage snap split by down and distance. Run rate and pass rate are heat-shaded on a Maryland-red scale so the strong tendencies jump off the page. The top row is all downs combined.

The same run/pass tendency, re-cut by where the ball sits, the score on the board, and which half it is. Counts are real charted snaps; thin splits are flagged honestly. Run % and pass % are heat-shaded on the same Maryland-red scale.

Drive for drive: what UCLA does with the ball, next to what their defense gives up. Points per drive are estimated from the drive result (touchdown counts as seven, field goal as three). Everything here is computed from real CFBD drive data.

How the man calling it for UCLA thinks on fourth down, drawn from every fourth-down snap his offense has taken this season. "Went" means they ran a play (rush or pass); "kicked" means a field goal or a punt. The split is then cut by field zone so you know where he gets aggressive.

• ★If we can get ahead by a touchdown, UCLA's offense becomes highly predictable, running the ball 63 percent of the time, which lets our defensive front pin their ears back and attack.
• ★Our ability to convert on third down goes up against a defense that allows opponents to convert 57 percent of third-down attempts, meaning we should be able to sustain drives and keep their offense off the field.
• ★UCLA's offense sits below the strong efficiency threshold at 0.15 PPA per play with a 42 percent success rate, so forcing negative plays early in series should cause them to stall given their limited explosiveness.
• ★Their red-zone run tendency at 55.1 percent gives us a defined schematic target: load the box in the red zone and make them throw to score, which their overall numbers suggest they are not well-equipped to do under pressure.

This is the charting layer. CFBD play-by-play does not carry coverage shells, blitz, or pressure, so the rates below stay blank until a game is broken down on film or pulled from Telemetry. The sample row shows the shape only, not real numbers.

This is the charting layer. Personnel groupings and formation families are not in CFBD play-by-play; they are tagged off the film or pulled from Telemetry, then drop straight into these tables. The sample row is illustrative shape only.

The numbers above come from charted play-by-play. The detail a coordinator wants next, special-teams maps, opponent media quotes, and player grades, comes off the film and the Telemetry feed. Each item below drops straight into this report once charted.

• Coverage and blitz tendencies by down and distance (Telemetry / PFF charting).
• Special-teams punt and kickoff location maps.
• Opponent media quotes from the weekly press conferences.
• Player grades, pressures, and coverage data from Telemetry.
