UTAH + 6
The lines makers and public are selling this Utah team short, don't make the same mistake , I expect Utah to win this game, this is a tough well coached resilient team that can get out in front and win or come from behind and win, after this game they host Stanford and that will be a challenge and that game will show where Utah actually is .
The reason why i like this team so much is the Sophomore QB Travis Wilson , so much upside here , this kid is a winner i see all intangibles in this kid , he will play at the next level. ,
Wilson at 6"6 240 is and a very good athlete , he's run for 251 yd's and 5 rushing TD's and a great arm 9- TD's 3 int's over 1100 yd's when he things don't go right and throws a picks he comes right back and takes the team done the field .
This kid don't get rattled , Started his first college game on the road as a freshman last year @ UCLA was 23 -33 220 0 TD's 1 INT in a 21-14 loss, but that was light years away in his development , he's so much better now, and has the confidence in his ability and knows he can win .
He also has speed and talent around him and Dennis Erickson as the OC up in the booth . This team will score points , especially against UCLA in this game .
UCLA how good ? The truth is the win vs Nebraska that is thought to be a Marque win will turn out not to be , Nebraska not the Nebraska of the years past, everyone puts up points on Nebraska horrible defense .
Do you really think UCLA is prepared and battle tested coming into this game off a bye week after facing New Mexico state ? or the other stiffs they played like Nevada who just gave up 42 points to Air Force and 62 to Florida State .
The last two times UCLA came to Utah as 7 point dog they lost 31-6 . and as a 15 point favorite they lost 44-6 , did anyone mention altitude ?
So Utah is not an easy place to come in and win as history shows
UCLA ranked 13 ? , we see all the time these early season rankings fall apart .
Don't be influenced by rankings or retarded point spreads, there are enough idiots out there to get money on both sides, any points in this game is a gift.
