UCLA was brutally bad for a Power 5 team. They kept trying to hype "DTR" as this badass QB and he was just awful. I think they would have replaced him with Jeremy Johnson if he was available.
They could have put Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady behind that line and it would not have mattered. Cincy beat them to a pulp all night. Luke Fickell was clearly not in the mood. UCLA and USC could start a combined 0-10.
UCLA schedule
Cincinatti - L 14-24
San Diego State - ain't no gimme there, that team can run
Oklahoma - the Jalen Hurts Heisman campaign gets and early bump
@ Washington State - may not be as good as recent Leach teams but they will carve that defense up like Michael Myers on Oct 31
@ Arizona - pure toss up; based on how awful the 'Cats looked last week, I wouldn't be surprised to see the final score 3-0 in double OT
USC
Fresno State - Good chance the Trojans get wrapped and slapped
Stanford - Cardinal ain't what they used to be but they are better than SoCal
@ BYU - They looked tough for a half. Maybe USC has enough speed to get by?
Utah - Nope. Not by a sight.
@ Washington - Uh uh. No sir.
TL;DR version - the two "Power 5" teams in Los Angeles are the sux
