State at UCLA score prediction thread

- Start date
If it’s anything less than the differential you predict, the season may be lost.
I expect this game to be like the slogs that the 2023 Illinois and Northwestern games were. We'll probably struggle to score in the upper 20s. If the defense has a hangover, this game could be in doubt into the fourth quarter.
I agree that this one will be closer than we'd like. They're coming off of an emotional OT loss in the game of the year. They're flying cross-country to play an ego-bruised opponent that is inexplicably 0-4 and coming off of a bye and coaching change. And PSU is clearly working through big issues on offense.
I think Penn State wins, but this won't be a blowout and anything could happen.
They should be better than New Mexico and UNLV (probably Northwestern too); they have better players and a former 5*QB recruit. Obvious that Foster was way in over his head there - had no previous HC or even coordinator experience. They should be an 8-11 win team regularly IMO. Another issue for them is they brought in a ton of transfers last year - something like 22 of their 40 person recruiting class were transfers.
sluuugish, did I emphasize ug enough?
We win 17-16, special teams has been a bright spot.

75-0 us. UCLA shuts down the program after this loss.
They should be 2-2 this year, IMO. I think they're quite a bit more capable than 0-4 indicates. I think Penn State wins, but expecting a big blowout win feels wrong to me.
Sounds like CJF will be recruiting on Friday. Does it matter?
A bunch of Neuheisel gimmick plays makes it closer than the spread.

Penn state finally opens the playbook on their first possession. Throws the ball around the field to open the run, keeps the pedal down all through the game wins 64-0. Franklin comments after the game "this is the way we're going to play all year, no more slow starts"
and then I woke up
Penn State may struggle to score but UCLA isn't going to be putting up points either.
This has 24-3 written all over it even without Rojas
Maybe things click and we score a ton (doubt it unless we get a new OC) but UCLA isn't scoring.

Funny thing is that after the offensive sh*t show against OSU last year, we looked great the following week against Washington. Drew was throwing the ball all over the field (including the middle), we ran for a ton of yards, and our oline looked great. I guess it’s possible, but that game seems like it was 5 years ago.
I could have said 6-4 but our offense is more uh, cough, high-powered than that.
I saw the UCLA is the only FBS team in the country that hasn't led at any point this season. Hope that doesn't change today.
UCLA is a bad football team. This should be a stress free win but I don't think it will be a blowout. Losing Rojas is really going to hurt us later in the season but for the next few weeks we'll be fine. 37-17.
An easy win for us.
The only question remaining surrounds Allar’s jewelry selection for the game.

Anybody watching Iowa State? Despite losing 24-7, the Cyclones’ offense has done more on O in their current drive than our guys in a half of any game. Yes they are playing Cincinnati but they can move the ball. Just missed a fg but the game isn’t over yet. Wide splits, good mix of run and pass, outside zone to wide side, decisive QB, check downs. How in the heck can a team down 17 look better than us on O?
Navy with their Wing-T offense has over 200 yards passing in the first half. That’s more than a full game for Drew.
I heard about their “vaunted” offense and was foolish enough to pick them in the pick ‘em.
now 31-7
They should kick the fg. They get the ball to start second half.I heard about their “vaunted” offense and was foolish enough to pick them in the pick ‘em.
I was in Fort Lauderdale at a restaurant bar watching the 6-4 score develop.
UGH
I hope it's no jewelry.An easy win for us.
