old-school volume passer who could sling it, but turnover risk came with the ride
In the 2016 season at UCLA, Mike Fafaul became a fearless, high-volume emergency starter, throwing for 1,602 yards and 12 touchdowns while completing 52.1% of his passes, but he also tossed 11 interceptions. His calling card was toughness and willingness to keep pushing the ball even in rough spots; in the Utah game that season, he set a UCLA program record with 70 pass attempts and 464 yards, showing real moxie and arm strength. If a team wanted grit and shot-taking, he fit that vibe—though the roller-coaster decision-making was the catch.
