How to Watch Washington State at UCLA: Game Time, TV Schedule, Radio and More
The Bruins welcome the Cougars to the Rose Bowl for the final time as members of the Pac-12.
UCLA hasn’t hosted Washington State at the Rose Bowl since 2015. So, it seems fitting that the last time the Bruins play the Cougars as members of the Pac-12 that the game will be played in Pasadena.
The Bruins last played Wazzu in 2019 when the late Mike Leach was still the head coach in Pullman and UCLA pulled off an amazing comeback to beat the Cougars 67-63.
Today’s game could be a similar shootout if the Bruin defense cannot stop Cougar quarterback Cameron Ward. That brings me to this week’s keys to the game.
Keys to the Game
1. Stop the Cougs’ Passing Attack
The Washington State passing attack is one of the best in the country. UCLA’s pass defense hasn’t been truly tested yet. The Bruin pass defense must keep Cameron Ward and the Wazzu receivers out of the end zone.
2. Offensive Rebound
No, it’s not UCLA basketball season yet. Soon. But not yet. Dante Moore and the Bruin offense need to bounce back from a tough Utah game by destroying a weak Cougar defense.
3. Last Man Standing
If the Bruins can’t stop the Washington State passing attack, this game will be a shootout. If that happens, UCLA just needs to be the last team to score to be the winner.
Depth Chart
The Bruin offensive depth chart this week is almost identical to the depth charts from the Utah game. The only change flip-flops Devin Kirkwood and Jaylin Davies at cornerback.
Here is UCLA’s depth chart for tomorrow:

That 2015 game was my last Rose Bowl game. It ended badly. If Kelly loses tomorrow I hope he gets parking lotted by Jarmond immediately thereafter.
This week and next week will make or break the season I think. Both games will be tough but should be winnable. Win both and we hit the midpoint of the season 5-1, and probably favourites in 5 out of the 6 remaining games. We’d still have a shot to make the Pac-12 championship game and (admittedly long shot) even the playoff. Lose both and the program would be in all kinds of trouble. A 3-3 record, no momentum, and potentially battling to get to 6-6 on the year with no shot at any meaningful bowl. I don’t think Chip would lose his job, but he’d certainly be on the hot seat heading into next year and the BIG.
The Utah game was hard to process as it was such a different performance compared to the first 3 games. I’ve seen 2 narratives on the Offense, one that it was just a confluence of many factors- the best D in the conference, a freshman QB, a difficult road venue, and some teething on the O-line matched with some uncharacteristic drops. The other is that the O-line is a complete mess and was made to look decent by soft competition over the first games, but will be overmatched in the PAC. These games will give us a clear picture of what to expect, but I think the reality is somewhere in the middle. The line I may not be great, but I’m hoping it can do enough to get the offense rolling. I think Chip’s offense relies on keeping the defense off balance in terms of runs vs passes. When you’re constantly in 3rd and long because the running game is stuffed, that’s a bad place to be.
The defense looked great, but I worry that this has largely been due to facing teams that are run oriented. This week will be a real test to see if they’re legit. I think the secondary is better than it has been, but still rather weak. The key may be the D line getting pressure, as if QBs have time I think we’ll be exposed.
So, situation normal for a Bruin fan - hanging on to hope, fearing the worst. :)
Go Bruins!
