A top 10 team an underdog against an unranked opponent? I'm not saying I disagree with UCLA being favored. Here is the simple truth. The Ducks have played 6 games this season. They have played exactly one game at the level it will take to beat UCLA. If they play like they they did against the other 5 opponents, other that Ohio State, they will get run out of the Rosebowl. They have not been ready to play at the start of games 5 out of 6 times. That has to change.
I expect Chip to run all over the Ducks soft front 7 , but I won't be shocked if I am wrong. 1 ) The team should understand that UCLA is the best team they have faced except for Ohio State. I don't feel they have respected their other opponents. 2) Pac 12 Championship is on the line and Ducks are underdogs. MC usually has his team playing very physical in those situations. Ohio state this year and in the Pac 12 championship 2 years ago 3) Playing in L.A. Lots of kids from the area and they usually show up ready to play
This is the week we find out if the Ducks have just had a long Ohio State hangover, or just really aren't very good. No reason at all they should not be 100% ready to go
