UCLA 35 – ASU 17
“Should Brett Hundley suit up, the game is a fairly easy win. If not, Jerry Neuheisel has shown he can carry the team. It’s going to be a physical test for the offensive line, and hopefully a game where they can take a step forward. I see Hundley playing and UCLA beating the Taylor Kelly-less Sun Devils.”
It seems a lot of people do not see ASU winning because Taylor Kelly will not play.

UCLA 23 – ASU 31
“For me, this game comes down to the UCLA offense line and it’s inability to handle exotic blitzing schemes. I don’t trust that Noel Mazzone will adjust to a steady diet of off-tackle runs and screens to keep ASU’s defense honest before the damage has been done (likely in the form of a Hunley injury aggravation), and I think DJ Foster and Jaelen Strong chew up yards against our soft, passive bend-but-don’t break defensive system. Unfortunately I can’t see past the Sun Devils here, but I would obviously love to be an object of ridicule and mocking come Friday morning for how I was wrong..”

UCLA 28 – ASU 10
“UCLA wins, assuming Brett Hundley plays, but Jerry Neuheisel would fill in just fine if needed.”
He has proven that so far!
UCLA 34 – ASU 16
“I believe our boy (Ka’imi) Fairbairn is going to get two kicks in this game that he is going to make.”
Jake believes in the Fairbairn.
UCLA 35 – ASU 24
“I WANT to give two predictions, ‘if Hundley plays’ prediction and ‘if Hundley doesn’t play’. But I think I am going to combine that into one. It’ll be something like 35-24, with UCLA winning.”
So what is your prediction? Will UCLA roll over a Kelly-less Sun Devil team, or are the Bruins in trouble, especially without knowing who will start at quarterback? Please leave your comments below and we will address them accordingly.
