I think you're being kind in calling UCLA good. They have been lucky as shit this year and could easily have 2 more losses. It has no bearing on whether UW winning again is important, but this isn't exactly oregon.
I agree, but they are also one point from being 8-1. The Utah game came down to a missed FG. They have very good talent.They play down to their competition.
and USC is a hail mary and playing rush defense away from the BCS
20-10 UW. D-line getting tons of pressure/sacks will disrupt their offense into dreck and Hundley will throw a pick or two which will be the difference. UW offense will run like last week minus the fucktarded fumbles.
The other way to look at it is who has UCLA played worth a damn at this point?
Virginia and Texas in the non-conference are definitely mediocre teams - they struggled in both.
They've played 6 conference games. Cal and Colorado are dreckfests (somewhat allegedly, somewhat not). ASU was breaking in their backup QB and had a 10 minute meltdown. Arizona may not be as good as their win at Oregon would suggest they are. They got run off the field against Oregon. Utah punched them in the mouth enough to win the game.
Bottom line to me is that I really don't think we have a clue how good UCLA is. We know they have talent, but all of the evidence points to them not being particularly well coached and not a disciplined football team. I'm not sure that we can say that they play down to the level of their competition. Instead, I think that they have flaws (see their OL) that get exposed by the fact that they can't coach around those flaws.
Are you forgetting that UW sucks? Who have we beat?
UCLA righted the ship last week inspite of their mediocre coach, as long as he keeps the warpaint in westwood and keeps his hands off his coaches they win big 35- 13

One Pac-12 mediocrity beating another is not a signature win.
no word yet on his prediction for UCLA's score, 21 points by UW might be enough to win this one.
I have faith in his predictions after he predicted "Its not gonna fucking rain" during the ASU game.. it didn't rain...much
About the game, still remember too many black eyes and nut punches to feel good about it (he said this time would be different
Think the first half of the Colorado game where they exploited our soft zone defense, except all game and with a better team and better coaching.
