UCLA over Florida State

Really think the public has this one all wrong. Florida State has struggled on offense all year no matter who was at quarterback and the UCLA defense is one of the best in the country. Looks like it will be a very long night for the Seminoles trying to move the ball against UCLA. The Bruins knocked USC from the BCS championship game and should have come away with a win earlier in the year at Notre Dame. Florida State is 1-4 ATS this year when playing against a team with a winning record.

wish that were the case, but the outcome is why one never bets on the emotions of college football players.

P.S. You can NEVER use performance against an arch rival USC (which we used to call Up Shit Creek) as a yardstick for a team's overall performance. Oregon-Oregon State, Ohio St-Mich, ND-USC etc. bring out aspects players keep in wraps the rest of the season.

Hey, we missed that one in a big way, the early fumble leading to a quick 7 and the blocked punt leading to another quick 7 certainly hurt. Would have liked to see UCLA go for it a couple of times on 4th and 1 deep in FSU territory instead of settling for FGs. At least there are three more today and tonight.
