The article didn't even mention the irony that Mora was Rosen's biggest critic last season, to the point of putting unacceptable blame on his injured QB.

Remember how hyped this board was about 5 star recruit Soso? In three years at UCLA he's put up just over 1000 total yards in his career. Whomp whomp whomp.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Adams was basically everything we wanted Soso to be

Adams became one of my all timers... with that said I still hope Soso blows up this year.

is Speight the starting QB? was it ever announced?

That QB depth chart lol

 

[ACamp1900]

Basically what I expected... UCLA will be an interesting story this season but I'm not expecting "2012 Oregon: UCLA edition" any time soon. UCLA may need to be patient.

 

[Irish#1]

Looks like Chip is still trying to get things under control. Any college that would hire Mora is a fool.

 

[BobbyMac]

They've got a lot of athletic talent in the front 7.

And Michael Alves would be at ND right now if HH would've read my scouting reports.

I was one of those guys. You are absolutely correct... not only has he under-performed but he seems to have some serious character issues. Really too bad because he seemed to be so fluid and focused in High School... up until Grad.

The "new" QB is an interesting development.

Cheers and Go Irish!!

I'd love to see Kelly turn him into a stud, and outperform Shea....

 

[TomHaverford]

Dorian Thompson-Robinson will be the starter there by week 5 or 6.

Speight is pretty bad man. That 2016 team was loaded and he shit the bed against Iowa before he ever got injured, and then he basically lost them the game vs Ohio State all by himself.

 

[fightingirish26]

fuck michigan

 

[Ndaccountant]

Looking at a 5 win season now. Kelly has his work cut out for him this year.

 

[calvegas04]

Hoping ucla gets their stuff together, I want them to be really annoying to usc

 

[arrowryan]

With how bad they are playing, does anyone see a winnable game on the rest of their schedule? They're gonna get their stuff kicked in this week against Colorado and next against Washington. I was gonna say that they could beat Cal, but then I saw Cal went on the road and beat the same BYU team that beat Wisconsin.

0-12 seems real possible for Chip.

He's too smart for 0-12, IMO.

At some point he'll figure out how to get the most from Thompson-Robinson within the context of the kid being a gifted freshman, and they'll win a couple at least.

It would also help if he fires his WR coach and promotes a GA, because UCLA's WR's can't catch a cold. Worst collection of hands I've seen in a long time.

Betting on a team to go 0-12 is definitely for suckers. OTOH, coming into this weekend Fresno State at home looked like their most advantageous matchup on the schedule. And they didn't just lose, they got throttled.
