Chip Kelly will be looking to get off on a better footing this year, but I don't see where their team has improved a ton roster-wise.
Seems like the line is moving towards UCLA, but I'm not really sure why. Even at least one UCLA fan site I looked at has this chalked up as a UC win.
Most sites I'm looking at have UCLA predicted to finish around 5-7 or so, that shouldn't be good enough to win on a long road trip, even with revenge as a factor, against a top tier Group of 5 team.

Thanks. I did check up on them while waiting for your response. Very good returning QB, great backs, deep at WR, replacing a couple starters on the offensive line. Defensive line looks a bit weak but the rest of the defense is very strong. I guess I am not sure why I thought they were going to be weak. Maybe at one point I thought they played a weak schedule last year and wouldnt translate well this year but even if they regress a bit they should be very good. Keep your picks coming this is a great way to share thoughts.
