Week 9: #12 UCLA (5-1) @ #3 Oregon (7-0) | ESPN | 7:00pm ET

Lost a little luster with UCLA's loss to Stanford last week, but still a very important, highly ranked matchup. We'll see if Oregon can slow down Hundley like the Cardinal did and if UCLA can be the first team to force Mariota into a mistake. Signs are pointing towards a De'Anthony Thomas return this week, which is not good for the Bruins. If Oregon blows by them like they have everyone else this year, we'll see if UCLA plays by their rules and rolls over to finish the game.

I've got this one as another Heisman statement for Mariota.

Like the pundits have all said, UCLA is starting three freshmen on their offensive line in this one due to injuries. D-line for Oregon is a strength this year, and UCLA is probably missing Jordon James. Happy to see DAT back. I'm glad this is in Autzen, but anything can happen. I just hope everyone on both sides stays healthy.

I expect domination of heinous proportions by Oregon. Though I do believe we will actually see Mariota turn the ball over this week.

He had two fumbles last week while nonchalantly holding the ball and taking forever to throw it. Still no ints though.

Glad to see the Mamba back!

I just can't see UCLA beating Oregon. But I guess I'll be rooting for them to stir up the BCS.

If you want the BCS stirred up, you should root for Oregon to win and hope for as many unbeaten teams as possible at the end of the year.

This is easily the best uniform Oregon has worn since going to this new style.

Damn turnovers.
