Couple things come to mind when im gonna select my play.
1. The health of Mariotta?? He is definitely not 100%
2. The banged up Offensive line for Oregon. 3 starters out last week and starting 2 scrubs. No wonder he got 7x last game and 3 times vs Zona. Ucla gonna bring pressure and as long as they stay in there lanes, they will get to Mariotta.
3. Revenge factor. Oregon whooped that Bruin ass last year in Oregon.
4. Home crowd advantage and weather. Those UCLA fans are crazy and weather in PASADENA GONNA BE HOT!!! Close to 90 degrees at kickoff.
5. Penalties. Boy oh boy does Oregon lack discipline. They look like the Raiders out on the field. Getting stupid penalties. Just because your OREGON doesnt mean ur gonna win. U gotta be hungry, u gotta be disciplined and u gotta want to win. Oregon has no heart.
6. does OREGON have a defense??
Once D End ARIK ARMSTEAD went down for Oregon Zona exploited The Ducks and scored at will. Will he play, how healthy is he?
7. COACHING
Give me Mora over Helfrich any day of week.
Heres the bottom line folks, if u think Oregon is a lock at -3.5 go ahead its not my money. But I see UCLA pumped up and make a statement in Pasadena.
Ucla 41
Oregon 34
UCLA+3.5 play of cfb weekend
