Agree that UCLA won't make it past the north champ twice. Here are Hundley's stats against Stanford and Oregon the last couple of years:
Hundley (2012 regular season) vs Stanford - 20/38 261 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT, QBR 28.7 (0 rush yards, 8 attempts)
Hundley (2012 championship) vs Stanford - 23/31 177 yds, 0 TD, 1 INT, QBR 60.5 (83 rush yards, 16 attempts)...game was played in a monsoon. This game was only close because James Franklin had a hell of a game.
Hundley (2013 regular season) vs Stanford - 24/39 192 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT, QBR 34.7 (27 rush yards, 11 attempts)
Hundley (2013 regular season) vs Oregon - 13/19 64 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT, QBR 43 (72 rush yards, 15 attempts)
What incredible level of improvement has Hundley had to garner such special attention? Did they suddenly gain a James Franklin type running back or perhaps Miles Jack is making a permanent move to RB? UCLA is overhyped.
ASU is overrated with their two returning defensive starters. Their offense will have to stay ahead of their opponents because I see little help coming from their defense. Hopefully, they are still ranked when we play them in Tempe.
If I had a dollar every time I was distracted, I wish I had some ice cream.
