UCLA scores 34 on that D? Wow. That's bold.
Im not sure Arizona has scored 38 points combined in three previous years.
I think Arizona should win this game, but they could suffer what USC went through. You beat up on a bunch of terrible schools and when you face a program that is much bigger, stronger, and faster than previous opponents, you are unable to adjust.
You're trying way to hard to spin this the other way. Seriously. You don't think Arizona is going to win anymore than I think ucla is going to win. Don't compare us to SC as there's nothing comparable between Sark and RR. One coach has beaten Oregon 2 times in 3 years while the other coach has never sniffed at beating Oregon.
Interesting. Let's see, BYU struggles to beat a Nebraska team that hasn't looked good at all thus far. They then struggle to beat a Boise St team that didn't look good against a UW team that couldn't find the end zone to save it's life. They then have the lead against Ucla for most of the game and lose at the end. So is BYU really that good or are the teams they've played not that good?
Ucla played Unlv who hasn't won a game thus far. Virginia? They played ND tough and beat William and Mary by 6. Bill and Mary put up 29 on VA which is 5 points less than what Ucla did.
I don't think you wrote that with a straight face. An Arizona fan discussing the merits of someone else's OOC schedule? C'mon. UCLA has the best Non-Conference win in the conference with their win over BYU and you're trying to discount it? If our positions were switched, you'd be saying I was so full of shit, even toilet paper wouldn't touch me. But hey, let's question Nebraska and BSU, but UTSA and NAU, I mean, they won some games, so they aren't so bad. Oh wait, UTSA has looked like total crap against OK State and Kansas State. But you would see me trying to spin anything. I'm not a spin doctor. Everyone knows I'm much more passive aggressive. I'd say something like Arizona's defense isn't quite that of UC Davis' defense.
It's stupid to compare coaches, I agree. I mean, RichRod lost to both Sark and WSU in the same season. Was the best coaching staff in the country just taking the night off? Or do we only compare games that we want to. But your coaches comparison is mostly a red herring, especially using Oregon as an example. You know why? Jim Mora hasn't beaten Oregon or Stanford, yet he's owned RichRod. It was a pointless tangent, designed to take away from the fact that Arizona has yet to play a real opponent and as before, if we were switched, you'd be endlessly pointing out this fact. Like the point about UCLA starting school this week. It's a valid one, but it would be as useful as me changing directions and talking about academic rankings and school.
