pretty confident i have a pulse on this putrid team.
battle of the awfuls tonight on tv. not sure why a lot of people are thinking with stoops gone that u of a is magically going to be better. they still have an awful program, a way overated qb, and a putrid defense and abysmal offense.
common opponent is oregon st where the blue and gold won on the road and u of a lost. ucla will look to run the ball against the woeful az rush defense giving up 200 yards a game on the ground. u of a cannot run the ball even against the ucla poor rush defense. how can a college program average 70 yards on the ground 6 games in.....that's miserable. relying on the pass against ucla's d which isn't atrocious against the fly balls could prove tricky as ucla is giving up less than 200 in the air.
u of a isn't exactly a place that has a great home field advantage. they have won and covered last 4, but ucla has a legitimate shot at finishing .500 and going to the meienke car care gaylord hotel maneater or whatever bowl, while u of a hasn't much to go for.
who knows, maybe i'm way off, but i expect a close field goal game either way and i'll bite on the points.
ucla + 5 -110 x 3
