Final Analysis

In what will be their first PAC-12 South game, the Bruins should come out able to fire on all cylinders provided they make it through Stanford relatively unscathed the week before. While that game may beat them up some, there is little doubt they have what it takes to take down the Wildcats.

Solomon has shown sparks here and there against UCLA but hasn’t figured them out yet and I don’t think this will be the match up where he does. While the Wildcats’ running game should be strong as ever, their defense will be what ultimately keeps them from winning this game.

The Bruin offense will have had more than a few weeks to figure everything out and should be deadly from this game on leading me to confidently say that UCLA will be able to not only move the ball at will but will be able to capitalize on almost every scoring opportunity

Prediction

UCLA 35-Arizona 20

While their offense doesn’t completely take the day off, UCLA is simply too much for the Wildcats to contend with.
