UCLA Football: UCLA Vs. Cal Early Analysis

Final Analysis

It is not a shot, it’s just the truth: Cal will not be that good this year. Many outlets have them finishing 5th in the North, especially with the rise of Washignton schools and the last two Pac-12 Champions Oregon and Stanford riding high at the top.

As much as I would like to see Cal succeed, it just might not happen this year,

Either way, Cal will come out with fists flying against little brother and they have at least two things working for them: (1) UCLA does not have a good track record in Berkeley in the last several years and (2) this might be a high-pressure game for the Bruins if they find themselves in a late-season race for the Pac-12 South Division.

With that being said, this could be one of those games UCLA loses and are suppose to win or it could be a spirited-affair where UCLA is mentally prepared for a big victory. I believe it will be the latter.
