Is UCLA a NC contender this year?

Even JLM can't win the whole thing with RN's kid at QB.

They'll be damn good, though.

The sad thing is Jerry looks better than every 4 star recruit on UW's roster including the two 4 star transfers, Williams and Miles.

 
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.

I don't think Hundley was that great. He really struggled against the best teams.

Even if Rosen is only okay, I think this is the best team Mora has had at UCLA.

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.

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.

Good post, but just as UW will be terrible right as rain, UCLA will flash greatness and win 9-11 games but choke out and play in the Holiday/Alamo/Whatever bowl.

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

I like to talk shit about a coach who has won 10 games a year back to back and 9 games his first year at a school, that what I like to do. Wait when was the last time UW won 10 games?

I thought this thread was about UCLA being a natty contender? UCLA is better than UW no shit. They were a "playoff contender" last year too and then lost to fucking Utah and weren't even competitive against Oregon.

And they barely beat Cal and Colorado. UCLA has become a consistent 9-10 win program, but are inconsistent week to week. You can't count on them to play focused and disciplined each week. They are a contender in the South, but not at a national level.

They also beat the shit out of much better teams along the way, FYI. In 1991 Don James barely beat Cal, in 1990 he barely beat Purdue and SJSU...is that all you remember from those season too? Christ. A win is a win when the season is over.

Mora & UCLA: Cant beat Stanford or Oregon, but they've Owned the south. That's the script right now. Shut the fuck up.

Not many teams were "competitive" against Oregon, including final 4 Florida State. And you are talking about a 2 point loss to Utah who was a 9 win team themselves, with wins against Fresno State, Michigan, USC, Stanford and Colorado State. UW could only have wished to be a good as Utah was last year. Now STFU and stop being a Doog
 
UCLA? Of the perennially underachieving UCLAs?

Mora will botch a game against the Zona schools and might lose to Sark too. In fact the script says they blow the usc game after winning the south.

This is spot on. If UCLA has the south wrapped up, Sark's team can play loose, trust the playcalling and just let it rip. It's the kind of game where Sark gets an upset win.

Calls someone a doog then poo poo's getting blown out by Oregon and losing a home game to Utah. This thread is about UCLA being a national contender. Not about them being pretty good.
 
No.

This has been another edition of short answers to questions that need not be asked.

Only one true freshman has ever led a team to a national championship: Oklahoma's Jamelle Holieway in 1985.

A win is a win? Is that you Kim? How a team plays week to week matters. You know as well as I do that UCLA isn't making the playoffs.
 
Can't beat Stanford or Oregon

UW or UCLA you aren't winning a NC with that on your resume
