Simming The Season, Week 11: UCLA Gets Left In Ruins

I may or may not have just quoted E-Drid. He's a big time Coug though, so I'm pretty sure he's ok with the copyright infringement.

The Cougs improve to 8-2 with a 41-17 stomping of the Bruins in Pullman. In real life, this game takes place the same day as my wedding. November 10th is already going to be the best day in my life, might as well make Bruins Nation scream for Jim Mora's firing while we're at it. Because who doesn't love dinner and a show?

Jeff Tuel was your Player of the Game throwing for over 300 yards and 4 TDs. Marquess Wilson didn't catch a TD pass for the first time since Sherwood and Nusser were in school (which was during the Roosevelt administration, I believe), but he still put up over 100 yards receiving. Bobby Ratliff caught 2 TDs which allowed Mark to finally add more hair and fingernail clippings to his Ratliff shrine.

The Cougs remain unranked, however, because ugh, this game is really, really dumb.

• Illinois being ranked is an absolute joke. Their three losses have been to Central Michigan (!), a 5-5 Penn State team, and to Wisconsin. Their big win was against Michigan. Their wins are: @Arizona State, vs. FCS SE, vs. Louisiana Tech, @Michigan, vs. Indiana, @Ohio State (by 3 in OT), and vs. Minnesota. Oh man, such a tough and grueling schedule!
• Jeff Tuel is still 4th in the Heisman Race.
• Tuel is 135 yards away from breaking Ryan Leaf's single season record for most passing yards, which he should get easily next week against Arizona State.
• Marquess Wilson's stats through 10 games: 119 catches, 1882 yards, 18 TDs.
