Opening Spread is UCLA -5

Do we or do we not get back Riva, Charles, Coleman, and Washington?

I like Paul Perkins but UCLA's OL isn't that good and struggles in pass-protection. Jordan Payton is pretty good but their WRs are pretty pedestrian so we might be able to get away with Feeney or Littleton as spies often (assuming Shaq is at RB again). If Coleman or Washington comes back, maybe Shaq then.

    I'd be shocked if Shaq plays D at this point. We don't need to break it down unit by unit, we're at home and we can fucking beat them. End of story.

    So is that your way of saying you like UW +5?

    Give it a couple days. I bet (swidt) the LA money gives you a better price later in the week.

    If we can play like Utah, (0 turnovers, limiting Hundley to negative yards rushing) I think we have a great chance of winning this game.

    UCLA has given up 30 sacks in 9 games this year. I like how our DL matches up against their OL, except in short-yardage situations where were blown up on goalline last year. Our 3rd down defense has been awful lately, and that's because we've given up decent yardage on 1st and 2nd downs. If we can get them in 3rd and long, like we did with ASU, I like our chances. Otherwise, I can see this being a replay of Oregon or the first half against Colorado.

    Utah was able to beat UCLA with worse QB play than Miles, going 12/18 for 100 yards and 1 TD. The key here was that they didn't turn the ball over, and that's what we'll need from our offense this week... that and ~200 yard rushing. If Shaq runs like he did last week and we call for Miles to keep it more often, I can see the offense being adequate and allowing the defense to win the game for us (again).

    Surprised how bullish people are. Yes, UCLA is suspect. But they've put a lot more "good" on tape than UW.

    UW still lacks a quality win.

    not to mention UW has been UCLA's bitch historically... so many brutal and seasonal kicks in the balls to even recall.

    yes, a bitch with balls... ask Splooge, they are all over Chiang Mai, Thailand.

    Can't decide whether or not to bet UCLA on the money line or give the points. Shit, I'll throw 500.00 at the Bruins winning by a TD or more.

    UCLA's o-line is healthy again and is giving Hundley plenty of time in the pocket. The problem is Hundley is a shitty thrower and decision maker so that extra time in the pocket is not doing anything.
