College Football Free Pick: Take the Ducks. It’s difficult to gauge whether or not UCLA will come out and fight one last time for head coach Rick Neuheisel, who was fired earlier this week following the Bruins’ 50-0 loss to USC last Saturday. Will the players be up for this game knowing that this will be Neuheisel’s finale? Furthermore, will Nueheisel’s coaching staff be up for this contest following athletic director Dan Guerrero’s decision to fire the head coach? Either way, Oregon should roll at home and punch their ticket to play in the Rose Bowl. According to latest college football trends, the Ducks are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 games against the Bruins.
