  He says that UCLA is the overlooked PAC12 team. He thinks that this year they have a very good defense to go with their electric offense.
  
  I don’t know how he knows UCLA has a good defense. Maybe they do, but they have not played anyone. I do think that UCLA has a very good offense. Chip Kelly went out and found replacements for the offensive stars that he lost. Utah’s defense will be tested today and we likely will not get the help of our offense keeping the D off the field.
  
  This will be a big win if we can pull this off today without 4 of our offensive stars.
  
  Go Utes!!!

      I am not going to throw Herby under the bus. He has generally been good to Utah. I think he has seen that UCLA is rolling right now and Utah has not found their offense yet.
      
      We will see if our defense is for real today. If we hold UCLA to less than 350 yards – I think we win.

        Yards won’t matter. They generally don’t with Scalley..Whitt coaches defense.
        Primarily it will be Turnovers and points off turnovers. Especially with two freshman and good defenses. I have more confidence in Utahs defense because they have already proven themselves. fUCLA defense. Ok sure they played the schedule in front of them.

        Herbstreit isn’t fool-proof….He’s been wrong before….We’re a lot tougher at home & a lot tougher defensively than the nation realizes.

        Yeah, listen, no one that saw UCLA’s game at home against a mediocre Coastal Carolina team can claim the Bruins to be any sort of juggernaut. If it wasn’t for Coastal missing a couple of FGs and turnovers, that game would have been a lot closer than the two score game it ended. With Herby’s prediction, once again we have an instance of hype over substance. Yeah, Moore is good but he’s never played a defense of Utah’s caliber, is not what you would call an elusive runner, has played the equivalent of two college games, and, due to his youth, doesn’t have full command of UCLA’s playbook. I’ll be very unpleasantly surprised if Utah’s defense isn’t able to rattle him and good.

        That’s what people said about UCLA last year as they beat an FCS team by the skin of their teeth at home. UCLA then went on to beat Utah. Anything can happen and previous games don’t always determine the outcome of future games.

        DTR wasn’t a true frosh in his first game in a hostile environment against an elite D.
        
        Last year is nothing like this year.

        Very true. I’m not saying the Utes don’t have advantages, I just don’t think UCLA is as bad as people on this site are trying to claim. I hope I’m wrong. I would love to see them go limping off to the B1G.

        I’m not saying that UCLA is a bad team. I am saying that they’re not better than last year. And how could they be? They’ve lost an elite QB, an elite RB, and an elite WR just on offense. Have they reloaded, possibly, but the jury is still out. We’ll certainly know more after this game, though the fact the Utah is still missing a lot of key contributors might provide a false positive on UCLA’s status.

      Utah is going to a mostly ESPN conference while UCLA is going to an almost exclusive Fox conference outside of a few NBC games. The B1G will have 0 games on ESPN.

        Not trying to pick on you Eagle, but Disney owns 21st Century Fox, not Fox Sports. Fox Sports and ESPN are separate entities. Herby has no reason to say that other than he thinks that.

  It’s impossible for Herby to know how good UCLA is tbh. I doubt he’s watched a single one of their games. He’s probably just seen like 20 minutes of highlights and checked the box score of the games. Hell, it’s impossible for everyone to know how good they are since they’ve played 3 nobodies.

    Hans did some nice twitter breakdowns of UCLA vs SDSU. Pointed out that SDSU was REALLY bad, so difficult to know how UCLA performed.
