CU - fUCLA Predictions

**** off. Speedy is healthy and tore up Arizona for 181 yards and fUCLA has a much worse rush defense than Arizona does and our rush defense has gotten better. People act like this road streak is some forever lasting streak, when it's not. This team is playing it's best ball of the season and fUCLA has been very inconsistent this year.
 
I doubt anyone on this board actually thinks we will never win another road game. I could be wrong, but that seems like a pretty foolish thought.

Stupid argument. They have consistently won every conference game at home this year.

Anyways, leaving in 5 hours to board a plane heading to LAX. Woot!

Yeah there home games include SJSU (W 27-17), Texas (L 20-49). WSU (W 28-25), Cal (W 31-14), ASU (W 29-28). Not exactly the cream of the crop of the Pac 12.

GUESS WHAT!?! Three of the teams UCLA beat... all beat us too!! AND two of those teams beat us at HOME!!

EDIT: Look, I believe there is some room for optimism in this game, but I will not pencil in a win in advance for any game until we finally win on the road.

Two of those we choked away in the final minutes though and ASU would have been a much closer game at home and with how we're playing now, we'd have a shot to beat them.

Almost wins (or choke jobs if you will) are still losses, so I am not sure they bolster your argument in any way. You seem to talk yourself into thinking that we never really lose most games, it just somehow turns out that way.

Please point out where I said they weren't still losses.

Bottom line is we still lost. This team still hasn't proven they know how to consistently finish and win games. Don't bring up the Arizona game.. it's only one game and they're in the cellar of the conference with an interim coach. However, Arizona may turn out to be the pivotal momentum changing game that the team needed, but it is by no means a good measuring stick to show that we've improved. The UCLA roadie will tell us a little more.

True but we improved during the ASU game and then improved more with the USC game. UCLA isn't on the same level as say Stanford, Oregon, USC, or Washington and they've only played Stanford and will play USC next week. UCLA may be 5-5 but they have one of the easiest Pac 12 schedules this year.

Guess what!?! The team we beat last week blew UCLA the **** out. These "we beat them and they lost to them so we technically beat them" Arguments are dumb.

UCLA was on the road and their success on the road is akin to ours. But at home, it seems to be a different story for UCLA and that concerns us. Ever heard of home field advantage? It's an incredible circumstance, look it up.

Of course there's an advantage at home. But there are other mitigating factors at play. We're gonna win on the road.
 
Buffs 29
UCLA 21

The most encouraging stat I've found this week is that we have produced more "gashers" (9) that we've given up (6).

Anyone who doesn't think that we're going to win this week sucks **** by choice.
 
This thread turned out well. But, I do find it funny that after beating an atrocious 2 win team we started spewing off about guaranteed wins. That's cool

Is it really that fun to be the guy who won't be able to say I told you so?
