    • Everybody wants to jump on the UCLA bandwagon, but every season Jim Mora gives us a reason not to do so. The Bruins had another fantastic recruiting class, and they have someone who can toss the rock around with the best of them in Josh Rosen.

    But can they put it all together and not stumble this season?

    Given this schedule, it seems unlikely. They drew every top team in the Pac-12, as well as adding BYU and Texas A&M to the non-conference slate. Even the game against UNLV isn’t a gimmie.

    UCLA may have to wait another year for that magical playoff season, but if Rosen hits his stride and this defense steps up, anything is possible.
