Fianl Analysis

If there was a time for UCLA to strike down the Mighty Cardinal, this would be it. UCLA cannot lose to Stanford forever and the Bruins look to have a very good team behind Rosen.

Chryst is going to have to be on-point in this game. He will only have two games to get acclimated to the Stanford’s offense (they open at home against Kansas State, have a bye in Week 2 and then face USC at home in Week 3). McCaffrey will still be a beast, but could be limited if UCLA manages to improve their run defense.

As for UCLA, they are plenty sick of losing to Stanford, so expect the Bruins to come into this game fists flying in front of the home crowd.

Prediction

Stanford 28 – UCLA 30

Stanford looks to lock up a win, but new Bruin kicker J.J. Molson hits a field goal for the win in the dying seconds of the game.
