This week in UCLA talk

The shows spent the week tracking UCLA's ups and downs as they move through the season with their backup quarterback. After a convincing win over Michigan State, Klatt had them as high as six in his rankings, though some hosts questioned how much the victory proved against a shorthanded opponent. The talk keeps coming back to UCLA's path forward, with questions about whether their defense will hold up against better passing attacks and whether upcoming road tests like Michigan could expose them.
