Final Analysis

It is easy to matchup these two teams in the preseason, but it will be a different story when this game finally comes around mid-season. Both teams have a lot of meshing to do, but it seems that ASU has lost too many players and coaches and with their risky style of play, might be heading down the same path they did last year, or even worse.

UCLA has actively been trying to improve both the offense and defense since last season, which should help them against teams like ASU. If they can use their power to push back Arizona State, UCLA will roll over the Sun Devils. And that is exactly what is going to happen as the Mighty Bruins stomp the Sun Devils in their own home once again.

Prediction

Rosen will have a field day (with 4 touchdown passes) against ASU while the defense punishes the offensive side.

UCLA 42 – Arizona State 17
