The UCLA Football team needs to win their last three games to become bowl eligible. That difficult feat starts this Saturday against Oregon State.

The UCLA Football team and the Oregon State Beavers have a lot of in common this season. Their starting quarterback is out for the season, they do not have a great offense, they have several key injuries and they are in the bottom third of their divisions.

Not exactly a game that ESPN is pining for in their primetime slot, but this Pac-12 contest still has some stakes tied to it. While Oregon State is playing for pride (because they are mathematically eliminated from bowl eligibility), UCLA still has a chance to make it to six wins.

If UCLA wants to become bowl eligible, they have to win their last three against OSU, USC and Cal. Kind of a tough feat, but not impossible.

The Bruins need to go one game at a time and that starts with the Beavers, a team that has nearly pulled off a few stunning victories in the last few weeks. Though Oregon State is 2-7, their record does not indicate how they have improved this season. Let us take a look at what the Bruins have to deal with.
