UCLA (1-4) vs Michigan State (3-2) (12PM ET, BigTen Network)

[TrueOrange]

Bruins lead 10-7 at the end of the first.

Nico very well might play his way into becoming an NFL draft pick before it's all said and done. Not convinced it will be this year. I know most folks don't want to hear that.

 

[ZZ13]

Amazing what a complete turnover of the coaching staff does.

 

[TrueOrange]

Now it’s 17-7 UCLA after a 3 yard TD pass thrown by Cole Martin with 10:17 left in the half.

 

[SCRocket]

Nico is good. But I still want MSU to win. It looks like UCLA has more talent.

 

[Boston Vol]

Looks like UCLA should have fired Foster before the season, made Skipper the interim, and gave Neuheisel OC duties. They really do look like a completely different team the past two weeks.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

So apparently UCLA is good now. All it took was firing DeShaun Foster and they suddenly went from one of the worst P4/P5 teams in the past decade, to a mid-tier Big 10 team. Crazy! Can't think of any team that turned around this fast just from firing the HC.

 

[CAVPUT]

Now 24-7...

Now 24-7...

Michigan State’s not too good at the moment. The only reason they don’t have a losing record is because of an extra two overtimes to beat Boston College.

Also lost to Nebraska.

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Mich. St is garbage

 

[adam.vol]

Nico is going to mess around and win the Big 10 while also being ranked too low to get an auto bid.

They’d have win out and beat both Indiana and Ohio State. They already have 1 conference loss (to Northwestern).

I’m hoping they win out and get held out of the rankings for their group of 5 losses. That could equal endless fun with the Big 10 folks.

Well this is unfortunate, I was hoping UCLA would lose. Maybe Sparty will wake up.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

MSU is a bad football team.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

People are still following Nico’s games?

Well yeah. UCLA has a good play caller it would seem. I’m watching because I’m curious about what UCLA is doing better now.

Rick Neuheisel just sent a nose tackle in motion as a blocker to run all over Michigan State’s big men.

I’m very impressed with his playcalling. I think UCLA would be crazy to let this staff walk, they’ve already earned a chance at a full year. They’ve completely turned what looked to be the worst team in FBS around.

Firing the A.D. would be the next smart move. He's the one who hired Foster.

 

[JMSqb11]

Wow. I took UCLA off my slip. Didn’t think they’d travel

Sunseris have never known how to coach VFLs.

 

[Delmar]

The real question is just how bad is Michigan State? Yeesh.

 

[TrueOrange]

38-13 with 13 min left in the game.

 

[Vol8188]

Props to UCLA. They’ve proved me wrong numerous times within the last week.

First I thought they’d go winless.

Then I thought this was a fluke game.

Then I thought they had to run Nico too much and that wasn’t maintainable.

Now they’ve won again, on the road, without running Nico.
