UCLA is very beatable

Really want UCLA to win tomorrow night so we have a chance to knock off a top 5 squad.
Crazier things have happened. The series is tied at 6-6 with us winning the last meeting in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in 2011. Let’s shock the world with a road win.
If the defense continues what we’ve seen recently against UCLA… and I know that’s a big IF.. when do the conversations about keeping Roger Cooper at DC start?
Or is Bielema doing more than we realize there? Fun conversation I did not expect to have a month ago.

You know what, let’s go out and win ourselves a Rose Bowl.
It’s Friday the 13th who knows what can happen
Good question. I'm starting to wonder if we get a different DC next year, does Cooper maybe get a DC job at a G6 school? He's making a compelling case, and adding to what was a already good FCS resume.
I'm hoping the Nebraska win and the 4 game win streak made a lot of West Coast Illini fans decide to go to this game. Let's paint the Rose Bowl orange!
This feels like a tough task. But heck, so did Nebby. Come on fellas. Let's get it done.
Renfro's status is gonna be huge. As presently constructed: Knapik-Matelau-Henderson-Smith-Hansen is not an O-Line to feel great about.
Two hottest teams in the Big Ten:
Henderson with botched snaps on the big Colin Dixon pass late, and on the possession under 2 minutes….that ball was rolling!

I am more surprised they already released a lone, considering UCLA still has to play today.
How good is ucla offense? Our defense has been better recently but those first few weeks of atrocious play are still baked into our analytics.

I may be off some because I don't know much about how the lines are set, but I think the home team usually gets about 3 points. My point is that if you take 3 away from the Illini last night and then give 3 to Nebraska if they would have been at home that 4 1/2-point line would have shifted 6 points toward Nebraska, making it 10 1/2. In that light, it seems like the line indicates a similarity between UCLA and Nebraska...except UCLA is at home. Not sure what the over/under is on how wrong I am.
We’ve been covering nicely lately. Maybe they haven’t adjusted their expectations, a very good thing. Hopefully UCLA buys it too.
