I think you're being kind in calling UCLA good. They have been lucky as shit this year and could easily have 2 more losses. It has no bearing on whether UW winning again is important, but this isn't exactly oregon.

It wouldn't shock me this week if in a close game we see Shaq go back on defense in the 2nd half or 4th quarter to contain Hundley.
I think we win this week ... 24-20 -
I agree, but they are also one point from being 8-1. The Utah game came down to a missed FG. They have very good talent.They play down to their competition.FreeChavez said:I think you're being kind in calling UCLA good.

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. -
2-1 dawgs. UCLA tries to equalize late, but a red card prevents them from mounting backside penetration.

Defenses and special teams will outscore the offenses = Dreckfest and IDGAF

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