Arizona Vs UCLA: Go Joe Bruin Predicts The Game
The #25 UCLA Bruins (6-2, 3-2) barely squeaked by lowly Colorado which could make their Homecoming game against the #14 Arizona Wildcats (6-1, 3-1) a tough one to conquer. The Bruins have shown flashes of greatness this season, but have also shown a lot of inconsistency. Which ever Bruin team shows up will determine the outcome, but as you can see by the predictions of the staff of Go Joe Bruin, we are not quite sure which team that will be. So what do we think will happen when it comes to Arizona Vs UCLA? Find out as GJB predicts the game!

Arizona 44-UCLA 31
Since we know UCLA’s defense is going to give up at least 28 points to Arizona, it’s going to be up to Brett Hundley and the offense to outscore the Wildcats. In his current form, Hundley seems unlikely to be able to lead the offense to such a level. Hopefully this is the game he turns back into the QB we saw in Tempe earlier this season, but for now, the evidence suggests his head is in the wrong place for that to happen.

Arizona 42 – UCLA 21
Although UCLA will fight for their Pac-12 lives, they will come up short against UA and lose.
UCLA 28 – Arizona 24
UCLA can’t keep playing like they have been. Poor play calling and poor execution have troubled this UCLA squad all season. Nothing really shows that things are going to change, but if Myles Jack plays like he did last year against the Wildcats, things will be looking up for the Bruins.

I am not as high as the College Football Playoff Committee is on Arizona, although they definitely are a good team and force to be reckoned with in the Pac-12. I think UCLA’s offense will be there Saturday but then it all comes down to whether they can hold the Wildcat offense. They have looked impressive this season and although the Bruin defense has improved in spots, they have yet to put together a full 60-minute performance.
However, being ranked #22 by the committee may give the Bruins a much-needed confidence boost and while an upset isn’t completely out of the picture, I still do not trust defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, and that is why I’m hesitant to call this a UCLA victory.
Arizona 38 – UCLA 37
The only reason I am choosing Arizona to beat UCLA is because The Bruins seem to be very inconsistent as of late and have not gotten a hold of their penalties and turnovers. Hopefully the game against Colorado was the worst that we will of UCLA�this season, but then again you never can tell with this Bruin football team. Who knows? UCLA might actually pull out a 30-point victory, but seeing how they’ve been doing in their recent games, that doesn’t seem likely.
