Watching this game was excruciating tonight. The Buffs won a snoozer, with the highlight being about a dozen personal foul/ unsportsmanlike conduct penalties between the two teams combined. On one Colorado drive, there were 4 of them - 3 on UCLA - and 3 such penalties in 5 plays!
Colorado has the better team right now, but the Bruins' defense is fast and athletic. It was hard to imagine them giving up 52 points in their previous game against a relatively tame Utah offense. That's the Bruins though. They can rise up and bite you, or play some of the worst ball in the conference. That game in the Rose Bowl next weekend could go so many directions.

I think it has a lot to do with a Thursday game. The whole practice/travel schedule is screwed up. Instead of getting to Boulder on Friday UCLA gets there Wednesday, etc... Of course if it is what TV wants then that is what TV gets.

Both teams were coming off a bye, and that's what we got? Yuck.
