    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?
    You mean like Oregon State? ;)

    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

    UCLA will score at least 40. UW won't.

    HTH

    You know I haven't supported you in the past for this bullshit.

    About the game, still remember too many black eyes and nut punches to feel good about it (he said this time would be different :/).

    Dooging. Uw doesn't have flaws?

    UW's own ineptitude scares me more than UCLA

    31-17 UCLA

    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.
