I'm still "new" to the Pac-10

I'd like to know what the general consensus is about Arizona and UCLA as far as history goes. I've heard all sorts of talk from my lady and her family about how the Ducks hate U-Dub or the farmers from Corvallis. And just by being an SEC fan the past few years, I know how much the world hates SC. But I don't know anything else about the next two opponents on the schedule.

So, loyal Quack readers, how should I feel going into these final two away games for the season?

Thanks!!

Arizona offense = Tuitama

fUCLA team = bunch of fairly ugly guys.

These two teams have been amazingly inconsistent. Sometimes their W and L columns just don't add up.

I would be more afraid of UCLA at the moment, you know, playing at the Rose Bowl. However, Arizona loves upsetting people, and we NEARLY stumbled out in the desert way back in 05. Remember when Kellen and Dennis got taken out on consecutive drives? Brady came in and played lukewarm, but we got the win on a defensive touchdown. It was scary.

Feel better about these last 3 games than you would if you were Kansas' last 3 games. That help?

Arizona...

Arizona has been the Pac-10 little guy in football since '98, but they are the little guy that packs a punch, usually leaving at least one ranked team crying each year. But if you're talking about basketball or softball, watch out...

UCLA is the single most unpredictable team this year. Most of the fans like the team, but can't wait for Dorrell to get fired. They sent Cal down to the mat when they were ranked #2 place, and lost in a close game against Arizona State 20-24. They were strong against Stanford, and BYU, then got decimated by Utah, came back and won a shootout with Wazzu and destroyed Oregon State. Oh yah, they also handed Notre Dame their only win this season only kicking two field goals in the game. They have lots of experience on the team as they returned 20 starters from last year.

They are both inconsistent, but in completely different ways. UCLA is unpredictable week-by-week, and Arizona is coils up for a loss, only to strike for a win when it is least expected.

Go Duckies!
