In the last few years UCLA has gone from LA’s B-team to the top dog in every sport except for one. Football. For years, USC has been known for their dominating football program which consisted of many super stars such as Carson Palmer, Troy Polamalu, Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Mark Sanchez, and Matt Barkley. But the tide is about to change. The boys playing in the Rose Bowl are now taking over Los Angeles. If you compare the number of Brett Hundley, UCLA’s Quarterback, and Matt Barkley, USC’s Quarterback you will find a very similar numbers.
Brett Hundley: 105.1 QB Rating, 827 Passing Yards, 8 Touchdowns, and 3 Interceptions.
Matt Barkley: 102.7 QB Rating, 813 Passing Yards, 10 Touchdowns, and 3 Interception.
Now remember Matt Barkley is suppose to be the Heisman winner and first pick in the draft, and the Quarterback you have never heard of at UCLA has identical numbers. Of course over the course of the season numbers may change for better or worse but if numbers never lie, UCLA is the best as of right now. One of the questions you may have is how did this happen? How did UCLA become so good in a small period of time? The answer to that is that UCLA is a very prestigious academic school. A school that use to only accept the smartest of the smartest. The 5.0 student that studied day and night. But recently they started going after athletes. An explanation to the dominating baseball, basketball, and soon to be football team. Who says Los Angeles needs NFL. We have two very good college teams.
