I'm going to take UCLA straight up...
As far as the contest (College/Pro) I'll stick with my original picks. Though my longshot is taking UCLA to win outright.
It is amazing how quickly things can change in college football.
Last season before the national championship game many analysts were picking Oklahoma to beat USC. At that time if you would have told me that UCLA would be favored by a touchdown over Oklahoma in this game I never would have believed it.
If they lost to TCU...
:roll:
UCLA has an explosive offense. Oklahoma has a great defense. I honestly don't see UCLA putting up anything more than a 24-spot on the Sooners.
That said, Oklahoma's offense is terrible. Pathetic. PUTRID. Makes me want to puke.
If UCLA scores 17+ points Oklahoma will lose.
The only way Oklahoma wins this game is if it's own defense outscores the offense.
Having gone to UCLA, I want the Bruins to win. Regardless of what happened against TCU, I am still scared of Oklahoma, especially Peterson. On ESPN they're saying that he may not start but he will get some playing time. Here are some quotes:
Quote:
Opinion: If Bob Stoops punishes Adrian Peterson for missing class by not starting him in Saturday's game at UCLA, I'll be even more disappointed in Stoops than I already am.
Stoops isn't the country's highest paid coach because of his team's academic achievements. No, Stoops makes upper-echelon NFL money because he has beaten Texas five straight times and finished the last five seasons by winning a Cotton and a Rose Bowl and playing for three national championships.
As an OU fan, I don't care if OU players are required to attend a single class, and I don't want my coach jeopardizing our chances to win because of a ridiculously strict new attendance requirement.
