I don't think Oregon is an unstoppable juggernaught, but I don't get how someone could come to the conclusion that UCLA, a team that lost 42-14 against Oregon and pretty much got dominated against Stanford is closer to Oregon than UW is to UCLA. I think UW and UCLA were pretty even last year, and UW probably would have won at Husky Stadium. I don't think UCLA was better than UW at all last year. UW completely imploded like a typical Sark coached team on the road, and it was still a close game. Penalties, fumbles, passing on 4th and 1 in the 4th quarter, and a lack of toughness aka coaching cost us that game.

Hundley threw for something like 64 yards, and even with that performance I think the game was tied at 14 until the last minute or so of the third quarter. Yeah, yeah, Oregon teases a lot of teams. But if Hundley averaged a bit more than 3 yards per pass, UCLA would have put a lot of pressure on Oregon, and Helfrich would have buckled.RoadDawg55 said:I don't think Oregon is an unstoppable juggernaught, but I don't get how someone could come to the conclusion that UCLA, a team that lost 42-14 against Oregon and pretty much got dominated against Stanford is closer to Oregon than UW is to UCLA.

Ucla and Hundley are overrated as hell. Hundley is a poor mans Locker that had the benefit of playing with way more talent and a competent coach. Ive never been very impressed by his performances

So you're saying he should be playing wide receiver?PostGameOrangeSlices said:Ucla and Hundley are overrated as hell. Hundley is a poor mans Locker that had the benefit of playing with way more talent and a competent coach. Ive never been very impressed by his performances

There's nothing impressive or standout about Hundley. He certainly doesn't belong in the Heisman mix. The only reason he completed his passes at all was because Zumwalt was on the sidelines staring down the opposing defense and compromising their confidence. Now that Zumwalt is gone, expect a drop in Hundley's efficiency.

I think he's pretty good, but you have a point. He was especially bad against Stanford and Oregon last year. To be fair, his OL was a disaster though. In the ASU game, he almost singlehandedly brought UCLA back even though he had to run for his life every other play.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Ucla and Hundley are overrated as hell.

The best quote I've ever heard about Hundley was "his ability to stare down receivers is unparalleled in the PAC 12. Throws a pick."
