If UCLA wins half of those and the six easy games on its schedule to go 9-3, Mora should be the conference COY.
What a Broon!!!!
Already making excuses for a tough schedule.
That's a REAL tough schedule, not the alleged tough schedules that Sark has faced.
If Sark went 9-3 against that schedule (or any schedule for that matter), I'd be impressed as well.
Keep pressing.
You essentially posted their Pac 12 schedule.
The Noog bus would role your ass over if you tried that with Sark.
They got the four other best teams in the Pac-12 (in my opinion) all on the road plus Nebraska on the road.
Game location matters, especially when you don't have a great home field advantage of your own.
The Bruins got a break with the schedule last year and they're paying for it this year.
See, I can be realistic. I'd apply the same logic to Sark, but he goes 7-6 against so many different schedules that it's not worth the effort.
I don't think Mora and UCLA are going to have a very good year. However, when you are pulling in monster recruiting classes full of 4 and 5 star lineman on both sides of the ball, I will cut you some slack. If Sark had been doing that, 7-6 wouldn't be bothering me as much because I would know improvement was coming.

One giant elephant in the room on UCLA is Brett Hundley. He is currently ranked as the #2 QB on the NFL draft board so he could possibly leave early after this year.
If Hundley returns though UCLA will be the favorites in the Pac-12 in 2014.
Is Hundley really that good? I know he had great #s but he did throw 11 picks and it looked to me like his throwing motion is a bit awkward. He won't have Franklin or Fauria so like Price he will face more resistance in his second season. I don't know if hes that great of a downfield passer.
Same thing with Taylor Kelly and Hogan at Stanford. People are jizzing over these guys who came out of nowhere and had good seasons. It seems awfully similar to Price. Not saying these QBs will crash and burn but I don't think they will be as good. Stanford lost all its TE's and its best WR is Montgomery who thanks to his butterfingers helped UW to win last year.

I hope you meant favorites to win the South? Not sure how they leapfrog both Oregon and Stanford next year. The longer Kiffin is at USC the better UCLA will be.

Look I didn't say Hundley was the #2 QB just reporting what I'm hearing.
Also Hundley is the real deal. He was a high profile recruit, produced his first year, has the size, speed, agility, strong arm. He's a lot better than Price from a pure physical standpoint.
Now I don't think Hundley would bolt as most RS sophs don't bolt with Andrew Luck being a recent example. However, if he were to bolt I wouldn't be shocked if Mora would entertain leaving as well(hopefully to Montlake).
McShay had Ryan Nassif going #8 and was his #1 QB. He ended up going in the 4th round. I personally think Hundley is very good, but I don't give a shit what McShay has to say. I know it is impossible to always be right in his profession, but he's not very good at his job.
Edit: I see McShay picked Nassib to go to Buffalo which made sense considering Buffalo had recently hired Marrone as coach. Still, it look pretty bad to pick a 4th rounder #8.

I don't think McShay is some genius but those stances on Nassib are pretty defendable.
He projected him 8th because NFL teams to retarded shit when it comes to drafting QBs. See Jack Lockner, Christian Ponder and just last year EJ Manuel.
As far him being the #1 QB, until these guys actually play that's up for debate. If it was some idiotic view I wouldn't take him seriously but saying Nassib is better then the chumps that were drafted ahead of him isn't crazy.
Hundley is thought of very highly. Being the 7th highest rated prospect is different than being the #1 rated QB in a draft with all shitty quarterbacks.
