PrintUCLA 2012 football Schedule
At Rice- Mora's 1st game, should be an easy win unless something goes wrong. Prediction:UCLA 45, Rice 21
Vs Nebraska- Big game at the Rose Bowl, if our D-line can actually do something this year and stop a very good rushing offense and Mazzone's offense can do some damage then we could win this. It wouldnt be too surprising to have this game be like the one against Texas 2 years ago. Prediction:Nebraska 30, UCLA 27
Vs Houston- Without Case Keenum, Houston might not be too good next year. then again they could be decent next year and give UCLA a hard time. Prediction:UCLA 35, Houston 17
Vs Oregon State- Oregon State isnt too good of a team and i think we should win this one, but it definitely wont be a blowout. Expect a 10 point deficit at the end of the game. Prediction:UCLA 27, Oregon State 17
At Colorado- Depending on whether CU has improved or not, this could very well be our easiest game of the year. It should be a win but even with the new coaching staff i dont think it will be as bad as this year's blowout. Prediction:UCLA 42, CU 17
At Cal- This could be a very good game, but if we can shut down Isi Sofele and Keenan Allen, then we should be the winners. If we cant though, our offense will have to have a pretty good game. Prediction:UCLA 35, Cal 27
Vs Utah- This should be a very hard game because Utah will have a good team next year. This will be one of our hardest games all year and maybe even harder than Stanford. Prediction:Utah 31, UCLA 24
At ASU- By this time in the year we will know which direction Todd Graham has taken the team, but with the loss of many of their star players, this could be a win for the bruins, but homefield advantge may play a big role in deciding this one. Prediction:UCLA 38, ASU 28
Vs Arizona- Rich Rod may be a good coach for the Wildcats in the future, but not next year with the lack of talent on their roster. Expect a good game, but also expect the bruins to eventually pull away. Prediction:UCLA 45, Arizona 28
At Wazzu- Mike Leach was a very good hire, but there is absolutely NO WAY that the cougs will be a solid pac-12 team next year. Prediction:UCLA 34, Wazzu 21
Vs USC- With Barkley back, the Trojans will be a preseason top-5 team next year. They have a super easy non-conference schedule next year and should dominate some pac-12 teams too. Watch out for an upset just like in 2006. The bruins are good in the Rose bowl and they might just show the nation how good they are here. They just need to shut down Woods and Lee. I really really really want to see UCLA terminate USC's National Title chances in this one. Prediction:UCLA 17, USC 10
Vs Stanford- Despite what people have said about the Cardinal next year, i think that they will have a pretty good team again. I think this will be a tough game and that if we don't stop Stepfan Taylor, then their whole game could open up. Prediction:Stanford 35, UCLA 21

Not bad
But we will beat Nebraska at the Rose Bowl. They are not all that. We should also beat Utah and Furd at home. None of those teams should scare UCLA. I don’t see us losing one game at home. The only game I see here as a loss is the one against Wazzu.

loss to wazzu
i dont see that happening and ik what you mean about nebraska i was having a tough time who to choose i just dont think we’ll win 10 games next year so i put that
Agree that Wazzu will be tough
Especially on the Palouse. Their offense should be good right away. I expect Utah to be tough again, but at least it is a home game. Cal will be tougher playing away from home and as bad as their QB is I don’t expect all his passes to go directly to McDonald next year.
Cal will be a tough game for sure
But I think this is going to be one of our best shots of ending the losing streak in Berkeley. I don’t think we have won a game there since 1998.
Early thoughts
Utah will be solid, and their QB comes back from injury, but we’ll see if Chow’s departure has any effect. But at home, we should beat them.
Cal’s QB might not start this year…I can see one of the young QBs winning the job, especially Kyle Boehm, which might make them better. But Tedford can’t seem to get his QB situation sorted. We’ll see if the recruiting letdown affects them at all.
Stanford will be interesting. They’re losing their top 3 receivers (Owusu, Griffen and Fleener) as well as Luck, and I don’t think their recruiting class addressed that at all, so it seems they will be a heavy running team. They’re also losing both safeties, 3 starters on the OL…we should beat them at home.
At this point, Nebraska, Cal and U$C are my toss-ups. I’d normally put Nebraska as a win but it will be early in the season, so the team may not be fully clicking yet. I agree that they’re not all that, but they’ve had continuity. We should beat Utah and Furd for sure.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Stanford Should be a win
For all the reasons you just mentioned. That’s why I haven’t been all that impressed with Stanford’s recruiting class, yeah they nabbed some five star guys but they didn’t really recruit that well rounded of a class. They have a ton of needs and I really think Andrew luck made that coaching staff look a whole ton better than they are.
Utah should be a win as well. I think cal will have another poor showing, and I think nebraska is a middling big ten team next season. I’m really looking at U$C as the big challenge.
Wazzu will be tough
especially later in the season, up in Pullman. I just don’t see us beating them, despite the talent gap.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
I think we ambush
the Huskers. Being played early in the season, with a decade of crappy UCLA football film to watch, I can see the Huskers come in thinking they’ll wipe their cleats clean on the backs of prone Bruins. By the time they figure out last years circus bears have become hungry, angry grizzlies with something to prove, it will be too late for them.
I'm going to stick my neck out and say 12-0 going into the Pac-12 championship game.
Remember, you heard it here first.
And if it doesn't happen, forget you mentioned anything about it?
That’s the way the blowhards on BSPN do it, so why not you, too , Brendon?
