Anything is possible, but .....

The difference in talent level is beyond massive. In the last three recruiting classes, UCLA has signed 5 five star recruits and 36 with four star ratings. During this same time BYU has 3 four star recruits. Try and talk away this advantage all you want but the simple truth is they are simply fielding better players.

Same, but UCLA is still a VERY likely loss.

The revenge factor is my biggest concern to that game.

I'm not sure revenge will be on their minds. No coaches or players remain

5/28/15 4:21pm

Oh, the coaches (& others in the program) will make it an issue

Just like Texas?

5/28/15 4:21pm

Hopefully. UCLA was a decent team last year, though.

Texas was decent 2 years ago. Weren't they a game away from winning the conf?

Fua taking out Daje really hurt them. It changed the game quite a bit, too.

Mantis Mutu

5/28/15 4:28pm

the main thing that hurt them was taysom and jamal

5/28/15 4:36pm

Not discounting those obvious things. But how would we have fared without either

Mantis Mutu

5/28/15 4:38pm

w/o Jamal...just fine. our other RBs were running at will too.

Lasike had an unexpectedly great game, but Daje meant more to UT

To further your point about missing Hundly, look at how much UCF dropped off

We also lost to 4 MWC teams last year. Even with putting up a lot of points.

Barring a loss to UVA or UNLV before us (along with our wins vs. Neb and BSU)

I agree with that. SLC media is a little too enamored with the PAC 12.

Who cares what the MWC teams records were. BYU lost. That is bad enough.

And don't forget, Bronco was NOT running the D last yr, as he will be this yr.

Doesn't Texas sign highly rated recruits at a similar rate? Or Michigan?

Common perception on this board is that UCLA is always overrated.
