That's bigger than Utah, so they must not like UCLA on the road, in that environment. Can't say I blame them because the Bruins have yet to be tested on the road. And Nike Stadium is pretty f'ing intense.
But one thing nobody is mentioning -- Nike hasn't beaten a "good" team this season. The only good team they played destroyed them, although it was a big roadie for the Quacks, and it was Georgia.
True, UCLA is no Georgia, especially at home. Plus, it's not like Oregon hasn't beaten anybody decent -- WSU and BYU are decent teams, no doubt. But neither has been making a whole lot of noise, and each now has two losses. So does Utah, but I still think they have an outside shot at the south division. No way WSU wins the north, and I'm guessing BYU starts to hit hard times. Utah is far better than WSU and BYU, and UCLA beat the Utes with authority.
Let's put it this way: the Quacks are going to have their hands full. If they beat UCLA, they will have beaten the first good team on their schedule and are the clear favorite to play in the Pac 12 title game (nobody in the north comes close). But they're going to have to earn it. Again, UCLA is no Georgia, but they'll be the best team the Quacks have faced since the season opener, for sure.
I think the line is reasonable and we will find out if UCLA is for real. First real road game For Bruins.
No more divisions. Just the best two records play in conf title game.
Oregon is still a tough out…near impossible in Eugene. UCLA aint winning this.
It’s Ore MINUS (-) 4.5, Waldorf.
Damn you!
