Today, UCLA needs to show that last week’s performance wasn’t a fluke.
The Utes are a 3.5-point favorite despite being the road team. In last week’s game thread, I mentioned that, normally, home field advantage usually accounts for about a 3-point advantage for the home team and, just like last week, this game is being played at the Rose Bowl where UCLA hasn’t really had much of a home field advantage this season. Like last week, I think this point spread is way too low. Barring another phenomenal game by the UCLA defense, I expect Utah to win today’s game easily. Then again, I thought the same thing last week and we know what happened.
Hopefully, the same Bruin team which showed up last week shows up again today.
Let’s look at the game time weather forecast.
Game Time Weather Forecast
The weather for today’s game looks like another Chamber of Commerce day in Pasadena.
Expect it to be a warm 86° at the Rose Bowl for kickoff. The temperature should climb to about 89° around halftime before slipping back to about 87° in the fourth quarter.

It's a picture perfect day to watch the Bruins play the Utes in a hugely important game at the Rose Bowl. Did the fans show up or will it be another embarrassingly low attendance number?
U
Contenders or pretenders? Would love a big win on my birthday. GO Bruins!
Here go
Kickoff moved to 12:45 pm

kickoff! Let's see which D came to play today.
Crap! Churchwell down after first play of game; he made the tackle
Can't believe they ran on 3rd and medium! Thanks, Utes!!
Open up the playbook Chip!
Charbonnet just *bulldozed that Ute!!
Doesn't look like more than 40,000 present... hard to understand. Allen is going to have a big game.
OMG you gotta catch that!!
We cannot afford to keep making these stupid mistakes! Utes too damn good -_-
Dropped pass and a penalty. Need to clean that up.
SACK!!
Sack!
Yay, sack! Happy Saturday, Bruins!
I'm glad they're dropping easy ones as well
Let’s try this again
2 stops on D. Good sign. Now let's move the ball on offense.
Charbonnet looking good today!
3 and out
Good play call on 3rd. Better defense by Utes
Suck eggs!
Our punt coverage could use some help.
Punt coverage not good
Who called this as a defensive battle?
We were sooo close to a sack on that play!
Wow, ute just dropped a sure TD pass-- whew!!!
Whew! Too close!
F yeah!
INT!!!
Picked off
Great read and pick on that last pass play!
Let's go, Bruins!!!
Yeah! Great D!
Yes!!
Let's go offense...time to move!
Targeting on the Bruins again??
WTF
Shit, that targeting wasn't even a necessary hit -_-
Losing Blaylock hurts
Leading defender now gone. This totally sucks.
Damn lost Churchwell, now Blaylock
Great catch and run-- let's go!!
OL doing their job on this drive
Yay, go Bruins!
Moving the ball now!
Up the gut!
Our O-line is feeling it!!!
