Tomorrow, the #18 UCLA Bruins will look for their tenth win of the 2022 regular season when they play the Pitt Panthers in the 89th Annual Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl at 11:00 am PT on CBS.

The Bruins finished the regular season with a 9-3 record on the season and are looking to become the tenth time in program history that they finish the season with ten wins. If UCLA does win, it will be the first ten-win season since the Bruins went 10-3 in 2014 under Jim Mora. It’s hard to believe, but Chip Kelly is still under .500 in his time in Westwood. UCLA needs to win tomorrow in order for Kelly to get to .500.

Keys to the Game

Let’s look at the keys to this week’s game.

1. Score Early and Often

When UCLA has won this season, the Bruin offense has rolled over their opponents by scoring early and often, making it hard for opponents to catch up.

This game should be no different, especially considering that the Panthers have lost their starting quarterback and starting running back for this game.

2. Stop Jared Wayne

While Pitt ran the ball nearly 58% of the time during the 2022 season, starting running back Israel Abanikanda will not play and that makes receiver Jared Wayne the Panthers’ top playmaker on offense. If the Bruins can stop Wayne, it will go a long way towards a UCLA win in this game.

3. Release the Beast

This game will be Zach Charbonnet’s closing statement to NFL scouts. He has turned heads all season and he led the Pac-12 in rushing. Chip Kelly just needs to let Zach do Zach things and the game should turn out just fine for UCLA.

Let’s take a look at how to watch, listen and stream tomorrow night’s game.
