So now we get UCLA after a cross-country road trip (Penn State) while UCLA doesn't even have a short week because they play on the Friday before.
And Rutgers is obviously a cross-country road trip now on a short week.
Super.

Yeah but an extra day to prepare for Michigan.
-
at least the start times aren’t at 7:30 PT
-
Meh, it’s one day less after a home game. Anyone under 40 who complains about a five hour flight and claims it kept them from performing well is an excuse-seeking fucktard. Especially in the first half of the season.
UW has to beat Rutgers. That’s non-negotiable.

9 am crisp fall days in Piss Scat Away New Jersey.
The only thing more DAWG football than that is an away game at Walla Walla high school, or home against the USS Cumstain

How is SCE? AA flies into it and it's 8 minutes from Beaver Stadium

Pretty sure I am the bored's Penn State/State College Superiority guy. SCE cannot handle a 737 to the west coast as the runway is too short. So you either stop on the way back or you fly to Harrisburg which is a 90 minute drive.
The Athletic had a whole article on this from the PSU perspective:
In 91 when PSU played at USC they flew out of MDT. PSU's trips to the Rose Bowl in recent years have all been charted widebodies out of MDT.
With the need to transport equipment back on a short week we're looking at multiple flights out of SCE which have to stop somewhere with a longer runway and refuel, or a widebody charter out of MDT.

Looks like hotels are cheap there, too. $700/night for a Holiday Inn. $1239/night for a Hampton Inn.
