Go Joe Bruin continues to preview the UCLA Football schedule as we take a look at their Week 6 contest against the Arizona State Sun Devils.

One of the more complex match ups in the Pac-12 is UCLA and ASU. In the last four years, both the Bruins and Sun Devils have traded victories. The funny thing about that is the road team has pulled out the win.

That is favorable to UCLA this season as the two teams meet in Tempe, but it is more than just a pattern that could give the Bruins the win, but a difference in program trajectories.

This season, UCLA is expected to continue their success behind sophomore QB Josh Rosen. The Bruins have made improvement son offense and defense which should help them in this game.

After ASU’s 6-7 fall from from grace in 2015, who knows how they will be.

Still, there are some teams that match up well together and some that find their niche against their conference opponent. If Arizona State Head Coach Todd Graham can do what he did last year and confuse UCLA, he has a shot, but it might not be that easy.
