This game is a give-me for evaluating the 2's and 3's.

I think this game goes big. PSU 49 UCLA 7 (if they score) Julian breaks out.

Psu Qb is average only way they score 49 is if Singleton goes off

UCLA's only three losses thus far are to #23, #13, #6 ranked teams....I think 16 - 35 , PSU.

Much too optimistic. There is still a lot about PSU we just don't know - yet. Like the state and quality of their wide receivers room when truly needed. UCLA's tough schedule has to mean something positive for them if they have any quality coaching and their players are fighters. Truly, "It's hard to get a read" on who they really are. Let's hope that whatever ails UCLA continues through this game. PSU better be ready as this will be a tough game.

Bobby is a goof!!

[@therealzeel3081]

Not big. But it's on Big Noon Saturday????? This is a trap game. UCLA may not be able to beat them, but if PSU squeaks by and doesn't look good it might be as bad as a loss.

[@marshcreek4355]

Could be. We don't know who PSU is yet, but we'll have a much better idea after this game.

Trap game? They just played like trash against Illinois. Here's the pattern... WVU dominant Bowling Green trash Kent State dominant Illinois trash UCLA... 35 to 7 is my guess We Are
