Notalot No. 1 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) As I sit here in South Carolina hoping that hurricane Ian passes gently by, I feel excitement to be hunkered down with a Friday night UCLA versus Washington football game to watch. Two 4-0 teams with one about to take its first loss. DeBoer and Kelly scheming and calling the shots in a west coast shootout. Penix is on fire. The latest line I saw was Washington by 3. Which team are you expecting to win? What aspect of play, beyond the final score, will determine the winning team? Do you have predictions for the final score and winning team? The over and under? Things in the game to look for? I only regret that the kickoff is 10:30 PM ET, so the game will end around 2:00 AM. That will make sitting through the Ducks 11:00 PM kickoff tomorrow night even harder for this old Duck.

DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 2 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Same here. I’m hoping the electricity stays on here in NC. It’s been flickering a little here and there. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbieduck No. 3 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) UCLA will run for 200 plus yards be 5-0 at end of the day. Washington cannot stop the run. Chip is aware of that I imagine. UCLA 34-17 Thats my guess anyway. Edited September 30, 2022 by debbieduck 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were going to move there but got delayed until next year. Anyway, I'm looking forward to game as well but being a life long Duck I will never pick, bet my hard earned money on, or root for that school up North. Chip being a former Duck makes it that much easier. Although I think UCLA is a pretender I hope they blow them out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion No. 5 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Pulling for the Dawgs (unfortunately), but I think Chip gets it done. I hope I am wrong though, I would real like to see Washington first, and lone, lose come at the hands of the Ducks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUCati855 Moderator No. 7 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I said I wasn't going to root for the two LA school's this year. But, I'm sorry... I can NOT root for the muts.

NCAA College Football FBS current team Stats | NCAA.com WWW.NCAA.COM Discover the current NCAA FBS Football leaders in every stats category, as well as historic leaders. I understand your stats. But Washington has not played a single team with a heart beat. Pathetic Michigan State averaged 6 yards per play against the puppies, at Washington Minnesota completely shut them down at Michigan State. Total beatdown. Washington, in my opinion, is a pretender. UCLA is best team in California. You heard it here first? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I hate UCLA less than USC for sure as I see UCLA as USC's patsy. I guess I just hate UW more than UCLA. If it was USC I would suck it up and back the Huskies but thankfully I don't have to. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU averaged 2.7 per carry vs Minnie, only 1.4 against the mutts. Guess we will know soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you are correct. I was meaning 6 yards per play including passing and rushing. UCLA has a great back and running QB. Washington is playing in its first road game. I look for UCLA to hang over 500 yards of offense on them. But if people were placing bets, based on my opinions, they would be homeless by now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeotechDuck No. 13 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I don't really have a good read on this game, as neither one of these teams has played anyone decent this year. I am excited to watch this one to see which team is ready to make a move. Go Chip! Blow them out! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite most of the guys here wanting UW to win (so O gets them at home and upsets an unbeaten team, I guess) I'm pulling for Chip's bunch. Next to USC, I dislike this team more than any other in the Pac-12 and I don't care if they have 5 losses when they show up in Autzen. So, I too hope they don't travel well. In fact, I hope they forget their QB and place kicker back in Seattle. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazeNconfused No. 19 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I'm interested to see if UCLA plays a Cover-2 on Penix, or if they mix it up and go Cover-1 on 3rd and long to free up an extra rusher. The bark eaters mixed up the covers against USC last week and got good push up front, what will UCLA do with Penix? It's also going to see what UW does to try to slow UCLA down. I don't expect we are going to see either team play a bunch of Cover-1 and play the aggressive Havoc downhill with the front seven like we saw WAZZU against us last week. Since we play both these teams, and both have good mobile QBs I want to see if either defense can shut them down. Then next weekend I want to see WAZZU and USC go at it and see how the USC OL handles that aggressive WAZZU defense, can they protect the QB? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
