UCLA at Washington

The Washington Huskies did themselves no favors by scheduling their three out of conference games against BYU, Notre Dame and Oklahoma. The schedule has been brutal, and while honorable, they are left winless at 0-9. They will now get a chance against a team that has been struggling in their own way in UCLA. The Bruins have recorded wins against Tennessee (terrible this year), Washington State (hapless) and Stanford at home by just 3 points. Don't forget this Huskies team lost to Stanford by just 7 at home, and that was really the easiest game on their schedule! Talk about schedule differences. These teams showed about equal performances vs. that common opponent, and with the Huskies playing hard for their first win, this line is a product of their record, certainly not of UCLA's prowess. The Bruins have traveled just three times this season, and stand at 0-3 in those games getting outscored 131-44. It is hard to believe this game is going to get their attention and "A" effort. It is a good spot for the Huskies, having a winnable game at home.
