UCLA may be able to run the ball against the Utes, and UCLA's rushing defense presents an interesting matchup for Utah's ground game. Also, which player on either team will get on the board first?
#1 Char...125 yards rushing if coach let's him do what he does. DTR 25 yards rushing. Utes will key DTR. Historically with Coach Whittingham they have schemed our offense well. #2 Utah 150+ rushing if history repeats itself. Speaking of which: last 5 games played against Utah with Whittingham coaching UCLA losing scores....44-24, 49-3, 41-10, 48-17, 52-45. The Utes over the years under the same coach have had their way with the UCLA defense. Total physically no question wipe out. Averaging 47 points over 5 games on offense over the years. Bonus: 44,000. Like last week most showing will be from the visitor's section. I am a UCLA donor and fan. I love UCLA. I hate to sound so negative. And I hope I am wrong. But Whittingham's teams the last 5 games have totally stuffed UCLA. Summary: this game will define UCLA football.
Cool music selection. The title is perfect. And ska-adjacent is always a good choice.
1. 180. Zach: 110. DTR: 40. others 30. I think we'll pop off some good runs but it won't feel like a good running game though as Utah will force us to pass a lot.
2. 150
3. UCLA. DTR to Kaz Allen. The first series will be scripted, like a hot knife through butter. Then it will get tough.
bonus: 64,000. This is our biggest game in a long time and conditions for a big turnout are perfect
1. 130 total: Zach 80, DTR 30, others 20. I'm afraid we'll be forced into throwing more and getting away from the run.
2. 110 yds. Because our offense has scored a ton, other teams have had to throw more, thereby falsely elevating our rush defense numbers.
3. Nicolas Barr-Mira. (Jake Landherr is the long snapper ;-) )
Bonus: 55K. But someone will still post a photo of an empty Rose Bowl taken 30 min before kickoff and clown the Bruins.
Barr-Mira is my choice too for #3.

I hope that you are incorrect but that is a totally reasonable take and is supported by the teams’ history. We will see if we have “turned a corner.”
