Huge brand name M-UCLA matchup will get a great TV slot, probably nationwide not regional.

UCLA wins recruiting battles with M, which is ABSURD. 

Blow out UCLA and maybe some of those recruiting battles go M's way.

No downside.  High probability of a win.  A much better idea that scheduling U. Wash. (at least while Peterson is there).

This UCLA offense is Rosen and NO ONE. I don't know if they have one other player on their offense that would start for Michigan and our offense isn't a juggernaut. They are TERRIBLE.

Those guys are pieces of work. They pretty much universally agreed that Florida was going to win by 14+ even with the suspensions because we replaced all of our defense, then afterwards "well they had ten guys suspended it doesn't mean anything". Also they have a new thread titled "Lewerke is better than Speight". Even after 2 pick sixes...um no. Definitely not.

Typical west coast team outside of Stanford and occasionally USC - a lot of speed but no size whatsoever. UCLA just getting mauled. 

I know LA is appealing, but I still can't fathom how Michigan gets outrecruited for some players by this school. It's a great school but their fans don't care at all about football and the facilities are terrible.

Productions requires a team.

But if you actually watch him, he's got an arm. He's got decent mobility. He's accurate.

He's the real deal, but his team is terrible and he takes SHOTS. I wonder how it affects him longterm. Is he going to be David Carr or Derek Carr? He's got all the tools...but they're doing nothing for his confidence or his health.

When will player realize that you look lame celebrating a play when you are getting literally run over on nearly every play?
