Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Is UCLA a NC contender this year?

2012- 9-5, #30, #5 class stars per player
2013- 10-3, #8, #10 class stars per player
2014- 10-3, #14, #2 class stars per player
UCLA returns 18/22 starters and 2/2 on special teams and brings in the #2 class in stars per player.
They don't play Oregon. Tough games are @Stanford, @Arizona, @Utah, @USC, vs. ASU.
If they beat Stanford, who they've really struggled with under Mora, they could be 10-0 heading into their last two on the road, Utah and USC.
By the time they play USC, they may already have the South wrapped up.
UCLA has a good chance to win the conference and therefore make the playoff.

Not with a true freshman QB, they're not...

All depends on QB play. Rosen blew people away in spring, most say he's way beyond where Hundley was in the spring of his RS Frosh year. I think Tom Bradley from pedo state will be a huge upgrade as well. Over/Under for me is 9.5.

No.

Of course not lol

I don't think Hundley was that great. He really struggled against the best teams.BallSacked said:All depends on QB play.

Even if Rosen is only okay, I think this is the best team Mora has had at UCLA. -
I think they'll at least win the South. Probably lose to Stanford again but destroy Arizona, ASU, and USC all the same. Utah could contend but I'd take UCLA in their matchup, even on the road.

Neu looked better at the spring game, he's not a true frosh. All he has to do is make a third down pass, not turn the ball over, which he has done all his career and keep the chains moving letting the defense rest.RaccoonHarry said:Not with a true freshman QB, they're not...

Agree. He was our Lockner, a running back/safety playing QB. He overwhelmed most teams in the pac with his athleticism and tempo, but Stanford/Oregon had him dialed in like irishdawg on a BBW site. Even still he was a play or two away from a rosebowl as a Frosh.HeretoBeatmyChest said:

It's definitely his most talented team and his easiest schedule. I'm a little concerned about out corners (I think they're average), but we dumped our Jonathan Smith-like DC for a legend. Hopefully he brings some better pressure packages to hide that weakness.
I think they could win the Pac, and these days that is at least a 50/50 to make CFP. Either way, Gladstone will be jealous and angry. -
They will lose at least 3 games.

If Jim Mora is still head coach, the answer is no.
